Of course there is. Its just that from 1000 roleplayers there will be 1500 opinions as to which order is right. I have never QUITE understood why characteristics are not ordered alphabetically. The only system I can think of which does this is CODA. In absence of any other overwhelming logic...

SNAP! I hate that a typical Duck can do zero damage with his shortsword Bites I step up as bigger jaws make more sense to me than the distintion between weapon damage and damage modifier Grrrr

Hmmmm How's about matching Elemental Runes with a 'normal' type of damage and 'Elemental' ones. With mayhap the less obvious connections nixed and made as specific as necessary. i.e. Air is not Lightning but Storm would be. Air - Edged weapons, Asphyxiate (Gilled Beasts) Chaos - Acid Cold -...

I can't see the GranBretannians worshipping an Amerhek deity though. Maybe Dubja was Tonblairs secret master and the reason for his low status in the pantheon. No true Beastmask would offer sacrifice to one bounden to another. The gods of GranBretan are all figures from a time when GB could...

There is also a theory that 'Atlantis' was the British Isles. And that somethingtm led to its descent into Barbarism. Hence the disproportionate number of standing stones and the strong druidic tradition. Grrrr

<bump>

I suspect that Darksense would work in daylight because in Glorantha objects still cast shadows. Thus if Darksense is literally the ability to sense Darkness rather than echolocation then Uz above ground would be able to sense patches of darkness. Which would be harder than sensing Darkness and...

A quick query re: Flamelance damage in Hawkmoon. The main rules (p62-63) describe them as 2d8/1d4 (2d8 to rolled hit location and 1d4 to an adjacent one) However the stats for NPCs (for example the GranBretannian Foot Soldier on p136) describes them as 2d8/1d8. Now I like the latter as it...

Mr Real World ducks makes some genuinely interesting observations.The only one which I have to add is even more unfair on the poor old Durulz. Ducks actually fly surprisingly fast; between 40 and 100mph depending on sub-species! Grrrr

I do not dispute that point for a moment. I've been told the same by several knowledgable history types*. But: was that because BP weapons did not inflict much trauma? My understanding (superficial at best) is that actually BP shot inflicted horrific wounds but: a) accuracy was awful b) tactics...

'Average' damage for a Musket is 7 (rolled is 2d6 same as light crossbows in MRQ) and there is little armour so there is a reasonable chance of a 1 shot drop. Having said that I'd be inclined to boost all the firearms up a die size (and Longboiw down 1 but that's by-the-by). Grrrr

Thankyou very much. If I were a proof-reader that would be a useful skill. As I am merely trying to use a book it is instead rather annoying! Thanks for the replies Grrrr

Oh and some more. What are the Cult secrets for Ecstatic Indulgence? Do Cultists of the Sword Rulers have to take the compulsion 'use no weapon other than swords' as indicated in the intro blurb? If so is this always their first compulsion? Or is it an extra one? Am I correct in thinking that...

Blimey that was quick! Many thanks. (I'm still annoyed about the 'lack of space' for the Runes red herring btw but that's a Mong issue rather than author and doesn't detract from the speediness of your reply) Grrrr
