Honestly, this Elric remids me Dark Schneider from the "Bastard !!" manga



Anyway, the influence of Elric on the look of this character is obvious, so...

Why do you need new spells ? Is it because you were not able to satisfy the needs of your players, or is it because you compared MRQII list of spells with the list of Another Game ? Don't forget that in many ways, MRQII magic is more versatile, and in my experience you won't need a lot of spells to ...

I'd do the same for Disruption. 1D3 damage to X locations is not the same spell than XD3 damage to chest or head.

Given the nature of MRQ ii Sorcery rules, I think you'd have to give additional options to sorcerers. For instance : -Double Grimoire Skills for determining spell effect; -Double available Manipulation levels with an additional manipulation effect. As for myself, I plan on using appropriate Combat M...

I agree that Sorcery is powerful, but it's controlled by the grimoire access provided by GM's. If you want to weaken sorcery then only give them 1 or 2 grimoires with 2-4 spells in each. And carefully look at the spells selected. I can't imagine the effect of a Grimoire with 4 different "Wrack" spe...

I think this is because every other Sorcery spell works this way, with effects based on Skill/10, which is also the critical range of the skill.

Anyway, I think I'll use your house rule.

I had a similar idea some time ago, as I wanted to play "City of Lies" with my usual players group. But for some reason, they were less than enthusiast with that idea (*), so I did not finish my work. It seems they had a very discouraging experience with a very "Japan integrist" L5R GM. Tea Ceremony...

I use the same rule as PhilHibbs. I would base the maximum number of Grimoire skills one can learn at character creation according to its Cult rank. For instance : Lay member : 1 Grimoire Apprentice : 2 Grimoires Adept : 4 Grimoires Mage : 8 Grimoires As official Grimoires seem to contain roughly 6 ...

What I like in MRQ 2 that is not in BRP : -Character creation; -MRQ 2 skill base% are all based on the sum of 2 characteristics; -Less primary skills; -Maneuvers system; -Skill opposition system instead of resistance table; -A very flexible magic system; -Legendary abilities (which are more like Lan...

I have similar views on enchants. I plan on mixing A&E rules with Sandy Petersen's rules on Sorcery to allow semi-permanent spells. Nevertheless, I think RQ3 enchants cost in POW is too high for MRQII, where POW is just another characteristic and does not have a very generous rule for increase. Plus...

L'INSUCCÈS de Fighting Fantasy? tu doit pas parler de la même série. http://www.legrog.org/jeu.jsp?id=1641 le Sorcier de la Montagne de Feu c'est vendu a lui seul à plus de 2 millions d'exemplaire, 20 langues. pour un total de 15 millions d'exemplaires de la série dans le monde.

C'est à Steve Jackson et Ian Livingstone qu'il faudrait poser la question...

Puis bon, vu l'insuccès de la gamme Fighting Fantasy dans les années 80 (http://www.legrog.org/jeu.jsp?id=1641), ça se comprend un peu...

This is quite a big change from AHRQ3, where most spells cost loads of MPs to cast. Was it this way in MRQ1? The drastic change on MP costs was introduced in MRQ1. However, MRQ1 still had one skill per Manipulation type and 1 skill per spell like in RQ3. With Magnitude 60%, Range 35% and Duration 4...

It depends on whether or not your opponent is likely to have some magical protection, in which case trading some Range for Magnitude would be a good idea. Remember that for Sorcery, Magnitude is only used to overcome, and is not related to Spell effect, which is a function of the Grimoire skill. Any...

As for myself, I'm quite satisfied with the spirit of MRQ, with relatively short spells and semi-permanent enchants asking for the sacrifice of permament MPs. I also liked Sandy Petersen's view on the subject, in which you had a "Presence" attribute that acted as a limitation on the sum of spells In...

I'm trying to figure out the casting time and magic point costs of sorcery. The way it reads to me is each point of manipulation increases the cost and time, but examples ive seen here on the forums seem to imply that only each type of manipulation increases the cost. Which one is it? As far as I r...

My preliminary plan is to allow RQ3 style divine magic to be bought using increase rolls. Maybe 2 increases per point of DM? Like the way it works in OpenQuest ? I agree it is a great idea. Another factor is that I already own pretty much every cult write-up for Glorantha ever published under the R...

I agree about spirit combat, IMHO it's always been possible for a spirit to engage a corporate being in spirit combat. In RQ3 the spirit just needed Visibility to manifest and attack. I'll adopt the same approach as you- the discorporate skill becomes the streight chance of manifesting. As for divi...

One possibility for a highly cinematic skill would be to make combat styles work a bit like grimoires. E.g. three combat styles (close, unarmed/natural weapon & ranged). Then you learn new weapon combinations to add to your styles by spending 2 IRs. E.g. you might start with Close Combat 73%: 1H Sw...
