“READ, IF YOU DARE, WHAT SKELOS WROTE, WITH DEAD HANDS
FUMBLING HIS SILKEN COAT; AND FOLLOW THE SHIPS THROUGH THE
WIND-BLOWN WRACK — FOLLOW THE SHIPS THAT COME NOT BACK.”
The Book of Skelos
delves into the deepest mysteries of sorcery in the Hyborian Age, dramatically
expanding the rules for sorcery and all things magical for gamemaster and player characters alike.
Included within these pages are rules and guidelines on handling player character and non-player
character sorcerers, the usages of sorcery in campaigns, a host of magic items, creatures of the Outer
Dark, and new skills and techniques to bolster any sorcerer’s repertoire.
So, don your wards and charms, step inside your circle of protection, and read these accursed pages!
New sorcerous archetypes — the industrious
Alchemist, cunning Charlatan, enlightened
Sage, devoted Sorcerer, and the primitive
Witch Doctor — for player characters to
become, with new sorcerous backgrounds,
educations, and natures.
New skills and techniques such as
necromancy, mesmerism, mummery,
herbalism, human sacrifice, and astrology,
to equip your sorcerer player characters and
foes alike with a wide range of techniques and
tactics.
New spells and alchemical enchantments,
from
Artifice of Yag
to
Visions of Exalted
Wisdom.
Artifacts such as the Heart of Ahriman and the
Serpent Ring of Set, including a host of strange
devices, ancient technologies, and weird
scientific oddities from a forgotten era.
New types of exalted sorcery, like rituals and
great workings such as
Rend the Earth’s Bones
and
Opening the Gateway Between,
to bring
terror to the world!
Rules for creating life, spawning new horrors,
and modifying existing monsters with all-new
sorcerous qualities.
Expansive rules for creating and fostering
sorcerous cabals, pitting them against one
another, and using them to pursue goals both
diabolical and deadly.
A history of sorcery spanning from the dawn of
time through the Cataclysm, into the Hyborian
Age. Thrill to tales of prehuman civilizations
and their greatest secrets!
Developed with leading Conan scholars, this
is the darkest sorcery of the Hyborian Age
revealed at last, as Howard created it!
This book requires the
Robert E. Howard’s Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of
corebook to use.
