The Age of COnan

1/2 armored foes, he instead inflicts an extra die of damage on a
successful hit with a bow.
When using the Man-to-Man or Fantasy Combat system, Hyrkanian
Fighting-Men gain +2 to all attacks with bows.
Hyrkanian Fighting-Men can fire bows from horseback and perform
split-move and fire when mounted.
Hyrkanians who are not Fighting-Men attack as Fighting-Men when
using bows, but do not gain the other above benefits.
Due to strong racial superstitions, Hyrkanians are -2 to save vs. any sort of
mind-affecting magic, including illusions.
Khitai: The ancestors of the modern Far Eastern peoples of China, Japan,
Korea, Vietnam, etc., the Khitai are an exotic race with distinctly Far Eastern
features. Player characters from Khitai can operate as monks, sorcerers,
illusionists, fighting-men, thieves, and assassins, being restricted to 5th level
as fighting-men and thieves, and 8th level as assassins and illusionists. They
gain +1 to Intelligence and -1 to Constitution, being of a slight, frail build.
Monks' thief abilities are as per the modified Thief class (cf. “Character
Classes,” below).
Lemurian: Little is known about the Lemurian race; they are a Caucasian,
mountain-dwelling people who live in the peaks of far Lemuria, beyond the
Far East of Khitai, and who worship degenerate dark gods and demons of the
Outer Dark. They are included here for completeness' sake, though no
Lemurians are ever encountered in Howard's writing. Lemurians should gain
+1 to Intelligence and -1 to Constitution, and can advance as Fighting-Men,
Illusionists, Sorcerers, Thieves, Assassins, and Monks. They are restricted to
4th level as Fighting-Men and Thieves, and 8th level as Assassins.
Pict: The Picts are a stone-age tribal culture who inhabit the farthest Western
regions of the Hyborian Age world. They are constantly engaged in border
skirmishes and wars with Aquilonia, who at one time was expansionist and
imperialist and threatened the very survival of the Pictish wilderness. Though
Caucasian in appearance, the Pictish culture in Howard's stories is often
depicted as (badly stereotpyed) Native American in type, with sprinklings of
historical Pictish trappings, such as the blue face-paint with which they adorn
themselves. Picts gain +1 to Dexterity and -1 to Intelligence and may advance
as Fighting-Men, Thieves, Borderers, and Sorcerers (Pictish shamans), being
restricted to 4th level in Thief and Sorcerer. For purposes of the Thief abilities
of Hide, Listen, and Move Silently, and the Borderer ability to Track, Picts are
treated as though they are four levels higher than they actually are, so long as
they are in a forested, wilderness area.
Shemite: A proto-Arabic people, the Shemite Race covers Shem, Khoraja,
Drujistan, Iranistan, Kosala, and all of the smaller tribal territories therein.
Shemites tend to be tall, broad-shouldered, brown-skinned, and sport great
