Here's what one of my players and I came up with as a first attempt: 1. Must have a straight, unobstructed path to the target. 2. The Charging creature may move up to 16m to engage the target. Any movement used in prior Combat Actions is subtracted from this total. The target must be at...

I just read the earlier thread: http://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=46847 and http://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=47010 Something was mentioned that wasn't directly addressed: A Charge strips the Defender of actions?

Thanks to everyone for responding. I'll discuss this with my group, and we'll probably end up house-ruling it.

I'm about five sessions into a MRQII/Legend campaign. Last night all five of us ended up scratching our heads over the Charging rules. Under "Full Round Manoeuvres" it says the following: Example: Tor Magnus (3 CA) is 20m away from Viasmix, and wishes to charge him. According to the rule...

Okay, that makes sense. General Veneration still seems out-of-whack. Joining the Cult of a Power (e.g. Sword Rulers, Arkyn) has definite limits, as governed by the Pact and Cult rules in the core rules. One starts as an Initiate, then with deeds and experience advances up the rank ladder...

From p. 118 under "General Veneration of a Power": The Gifts available to general disciples depend on how much POW has been dedicated and also the value of the Pact. This is a key difference between general veneration and specific veneration. Those who dedicate to a patron god usually have...

Some elements of Elric's Rune Magic system seem a bit out-of-balance. For example: the Rune of Reflection. Cast verbally, it will Reflect one attack per round for every POW invested. This effect lasts one hour, and can be extended with additional POW. Written, the effect will persist as...

I noticed in the errata that Strike Rank should be calculated as the average of SIZ + DEX, rather than SIZ + DEX + INT. I sort of like the idea of including INT in the Strike Rank calculation as representing "thinking on your feet." Is there a problem with using the original method (i.e. [SIZ...

After the First, Second and Third Battles of Cassino stalled, and the invasion of Anzio failed to provide the desired breakout, the Axis lines in Italy were finally pierced in May 1944 by General Alphonse Juin and his (nominally) French (-African) divisions during Operation Diadem. In this...

It made me happy because so many times in games one gets hyper-cautious, over-planned, obsessive-compulsive risk aversion. It's nice to see some absolute spur-of-the-moment split-second risk-taking.

So the PCs found themselves on the Count of Izmir's yacht, which was teeming with diseased and dying refugees from the incursion of a berserker-style robotic dreadnought. The sub-sector is in chaos and anarchy, as the sub-sector fleet was either destroyed or in headlong retreat. Sensors...

For an awesome treatment of psionics, read "The Demolished Man" by Alfred Bester.

Guage and choke are also variables...

Looks great! Only had time to skim the first chapter, but I liked what I saw. However, the crew looks like their in their early 20's. Must not be very skilled :)

On a related note: I also let my players choose to take Vacc Suit/0 if the homeworld has an atmosphere requiring it.
