    character generation changes? magic?

    I can't see that its changed, but evolved. Its more flexible. Helps you visualise the character your making AND make the character you want. I feel like inspiration was drawn from MongTrav, but its still more elegant. You choose your background, your profession & then spend Skill points...

    My store just received MRQ II in the U.S.

    And the more I ponder, the more I agree with the decision. I can see it being much faster to simply adjust damage, if applicable, instead of remembering individual AP. It was just a surprising, but elegant change. I think that's how I'd describe MRQ II. Elegant, through & through.

    My store just received MRQ II in the U.S.

    I've been digesting it. I apologize if any of this was already known: Whey you Parry, your weapon's size determines the outcome. So if your weapon or shield is equal to or greater in size, you negate all damage. If they're 1 size category smaller, you negate 1/2 damage. And if they're 2...

    My store just received MRQ II in the U.S.

    I have to say, it is probably the nicest looking book I've bought from Mongoose. The presentation reminds me of Palladium's Special Edition Hardcovers (& I mean that in a good way). Interior layout is good. I love the combat system & maneuvers. Just had it about 20 minutes, but I'm really...

    RQII Combat Question

    And we used to wear an onion from our belts, because that was the style at the time. And we called turkeys, walking birds. :P

    RQII Combat Question

    Congratulations, you own RQ2. Unfortunately, its out of print by a matter of decades. Some of us want to support a line thats IN PRINT. I don't own RQ2 & it was published several years before I began roleplaying. And while I own RQ3, Elric!, Stormbringer, MRQ, & Elric for MRQ, I'm going to...

    RQII Combat Question

    If your happy with any other editon of RQ/BRP, what's stopping you from continuing to play it? Why "worry" about what MRQ II shapes up to be? BTW, Loz & Pete thanks for your time & answers. I've bought MRQ, Hawkmoon, & Elric from Mongoose. I'll be buying MRQ II.

    RQII Combat Question

    I was wondering if you could reveal if there will be additional levels of success beyond Critical Succes, Success, Failure, & Critical Failure?

    For Combat Skills above 100%, will the Opposed Skill subtraction rule be used?

    Dusting off Runequest Modern

    An Alternative to Attack & Defense Pools of Points would be simpy raising they're base skills with a small expenditure of Hero Points at Character Creation, say 1-2 points & possibly a 1 point penalty per adventure HP award. Give Dodge at 30+Dex-Siz Make Base Close Combat Str+Dex+10 Make Base...

    Weasel's combat modifications

    If both the Attacker & the Defender succeed, will you see who rolled highest to determine success or its all purely Pass/Fail? Looks like a pretty good fix to me. I know that I had let the whole Combat Matrix hinder my thoughts of MRQ combat since day 1 & now that I'm not looking at that...
