Oui. Enfin, pas en français...
Il y a eu pour RuneQuest 2 (dont les règles de combat sont complètement différentes, soit dit en passant) une nouvelle version, plus complète.

As for myself, I'd simply let a Sorcerer enhance a Common Magic spell if he knows a similar Sorcery spell.

For instance, a sorcerer knowing Set (Fire) could change damage, duration or other aspects of a Fireblade spell.

I suggest you get some inspiration from Age of Treason : Treat each Martial Art as a Combat Style that allows 2 or 3 base combat actions such as Kick, Punch, Evade (possibly with no penalty on next attack) , Parry (with bare fists), Grap, Throw. Then, each style would offer "special techniques" that...

I'd rather add a new Manipulation category than a Legendary Ability.
For instance, it could make the spell look less potent than it really is.
For instance, each level would lower the apparent skill by 20%.
Therefore, a Spell cast with a 75% skill and 4 "Stealth" levels would be invisible.

The simplest way to get low-magic that doesn't suck and doesn't alienate players, is to make casting expensive. If instead of one magic point cost per point of magnitude, it is 5 magic points per point of magnitude, spells will only be used only when they are most needed and heroes must rely on mun...

Huh, magic really isn't more exponential than combat in Runequest. Yeah, sure when you increase your grimoire both your chance to cast it, and the damage increases. But when you increase your combat style, you also increase your defensive ability, and the chance that opposed rolls, such as trips, d...

Personnally, I like the idea that a beginning character can have skills of 80%+. Given the nature of MRQ2 system, I hardly consider characters under 100% as "badasses". My only concern is perhaps with Sorcery (and to a lesser extent Divine magic), where the benefits of a higher skill are exponential...

Samurai of the Tokugawa era tended to wear two swords - katana and wakazashi. Not sure if they used them together. They were known as daisho, meaning long and short, IIRC. I'd think they did, since "the Book of Five Rings" speaks about how to use both together. However, there is no mention of using...

No matter what the game system is, I like the idea that when facing a task with a difficulty appropriate to your skill level, your success chance should be roughly 60%. That is, a beginner should have ~60% chance to beat an easy task. The same for an intermediate character facing a medium difficulty...

As for myself, I call it "Intensity", based on RQ3 terminology.
Anyway, I think you're right, and this... rule thing needs to have a name.

I do like all 4 magic systems and don't want to see any of them scrapped. Nevertheless, there are some things I'd like to be changed : Divine Magic -Replace Dedicated POW with "Divine Magic points", so that Priest get all their MPs for Common Magic and spiritual conflict. -Use Magnitude for every sp...

As far as I remember, you can use Rune magic and Sorcery spells quite easily. Simply replace "Magnitude" in Sorcery spells descriptions with (Grimoire skill/10). I'm not a great fan of Spellbook Sorcery spells, which are in my view, too narrowly focused. In my opinion, sorcery should provide very "b...

Vu que la gamme va s'arrêter en VO, je doute que la gamme VF suive un autre chemin...

An easy solution is to borrow Elric of Melniboné's summoning rules. As for myself, I would add a Summon (Spirit) sorcery spell. Spells like Spirit Resistance Dominate (Species) already exist :) I think there is such a spell in Deus Vult, and maybe in the Abiding Book. If you don't have either of tho...

But what about casting Damage Enhancement on the Bow, and then say Bladesharp on the arrows?

Speedart is a better choice

To me, the best way to put the brakes on sorcery is to increase its MP cost. Instead of 1 MP per manipulation type, make it 1 MP per degree of inensity (grimoire/10). So sure, a sorcerer at a grimoire of 80% can cast that Wrack with 8 levels of manipulation, but that's an 8 MP cost on top of the 1 ...

Ah... c'est "directe" comme dans "sens trigonométrique direct". "Spinward" ~ "dans le sens du spin".

C'est moche, mais en effet correct...

Même si ceux-ci sont hors du domaine astronomique, ce terme a les équivalents suivants:

Yes, I know. The article in both S&P 89 and 90 is awesome and very well axplained . It helped a lot. But I think that a shaman with 4 spirits cannot wait POW15x4 =60x10h= 600 hours (25 days!) to replenish mp of 4 captured spirits, so there will be faster rituals. That is what I am doing the questio...

If I have two Grimoires, one with say Enhance INT and one with Enhance DEX, could I trade effect levels off both independently to get additional manipulations? Or, do I have to knock an effect level off both in order to get one manipulation point? Personnally, I'm using option 2 (that is, reduce al...
