This may not be the right place but what the heck. My group is fienly getting back together, and they are looking to me as DM again. I was part of a 14 member multiple GM testing group of Pathfinder alpha a few months ago (and the guy who was supposed to submit feed back never did). In the mean time I began playing in a monthly Conan game. Boy am I enjoying it, but I love pathfinder also. So now comes the problem and question to both Pathfinder and Conan players.
Has anyone tride to place conan Dodge and Perry rules to Pathfinder/3.5 games?
If so have you had any problems with it on any levels (high level play, low, or just simply too much work)?
For the reacord I'm inclind to keep Pathfinder Magic, magic in conan is fine for conan or low fantasy, but my group wants to play high fantasy.
Armor is another issue, my thinking, and go with me on this one, is to say armor is normal (ie 3.P) however AC value subtracts from Dodge. So if you have +5 to dodge, have AC armor of +3, then dodge is +2 instead. Although I like armor as damage reduction it might be too much to inplace both rules set as one.
P.S. as a side note, since they guy who was supposed to submit our groups thoughts on the subject never did, is it too late to give feedback with anyhopes of changeing pathfinder. I don't want them to add conan rules, mind you, I have other thoughts on the subject.
Any feedback would be helpful, thanks Dre.
Andre: While I'm not familiar with the Conan RPG, the difference You are speaking of between Dodge and AC sounds similar to some ideas that were being discussed by Saurstalk and I in this thread.
While he and I were discussing a revised Base Defense Bonus mechanism, the mechanic I mention in my 2nd reply there (right below the spoiler tag) may hopefully be of some use to You. Let us know if You figure something out.

Thanks I'll look at the thread tonight, and give you some feedback, if I have any.
