Well, I've recently returned to Sonja and realized some of her skills were a bit off (a bit ot be expected as she was one of my first character done). I've cleaned up her skills and she should be ok now. Now, to my other projects to complete.

Looking over at my Chaosium 1980 RuneQuest 2nd Edition rulebook. Character creation on page 8 is for human and page 73 -although not explicitely forbidding them, discourage the use of non human character. The way the system is written and with all the backstory, it's meant to be human PC only.

It is my understanding that Legend is the spiritual heir to RuneQuest. and in the RuneQuest universe, elves, dwarves, trolls, etc. are not meant to be PCs due to their nature. In the case of Elves and dwarves they are things of legends: Rarely seen and when you do they are as likely to kill you...

Unless someone here plays AoC, I have no clue how. Mongoose has nothing to do with Age of Conan so there's nothnig here for it. Maybe a google search might help find it.

I'm with ShawnDriscoll and CosmicGamer here, I like the game like it is. Fix Characteristics and all. If I want a Sci-Fi game with characteristics improvement I'll play something else (WEG Star Wars or Babylon 5 for exemple).

I'm going to have to agree with ShawnDriscoll here. Comparing Traveller to any d20/pathfinder game is comparing Apple and Orange. It's different mechanics that cannot be compared, the Same way I cannot compare Traveller VS GURPS:Traveller as they offer a different type of game play. If you...

Yes and no. You got to keep in mind that Traveller is an old old-school game. Back in the late seventies and eighties, most games would not have stat improving mechanic other then: 1) At Character creation thought Race, Starting Age or (in some cases) Class. 2) In game play thought Aging or...

Sweet...I love it when my momory doesn't fail me. :) Although I find this odd that the Conan RPG doesn't explicitely state it too as it's an important part of core mechanic.

I'll have to check my D&D3rd ed PHB too. IIRC it was explicitely stated in that book that the x4 only occured on your starting level.

He only get Base Soldier skill increase (2+Int Modifier) You only multiply by 4 at the initial level (eg 1st level [Class] AND 1st level Character) as your max skill level is Character level +3.

Definitively. I highly recommand all 3 Books (Fiercest, Finest, Fallen) as they all complete the gma well and provide enough useful nugget to be worth the price.

2nd edition. 1st edition Temptress did not have Secret Art (unless I miss read it).

Yes it's possible. Temptress Secret Art allow her to have access to any 1 school of Magic. Dabbler gives her potential knowledge is one of the 3 school mentionned earlier...and I forgot to mention that Dabbler is usable only once a month at the most. So the Temptress Skill is much better.

Looks interesting

In a way Yes. One day Is Basic spell (Magic missile) The next Day: "Look Ma!!! FIREBALL!!!!!" This randomness can be used by the GM to either Help you (you remimber something useful) or provide...RP opportunity.
