Follow-up question: Why publish Lankhmar with RQ rules instead of d20? Lankhmar doesn't exactly strikes me as a setting that could exist on Glorantha. I'm sure Mongoose is eager to.. ah.. induce gamers to purchase all its RQ rulebooks but still...

Please Mongoose, don't forget to update the pdf for sale on DriveThruRPG!

Correct, and here it is: http://www.lodossdreams.net/records/others/other.html#trpg It appears from time to time on eBay.

For magical items, we have the governor's treasures (those items guarded by the five dragons of the island). Those weren't cursed, they were powerful beyond belief. The Grey Witch's Fireballs (I should say Meteor Swarm), Phantasmal Killer, Death Spell, Lightning Bolt, etc.. do look a bit...

Hmm, I am not so sure. You have plenty of non-human races (elf, dwarf, goblin, ogre, drow,..). Magic isn't that rare (at least sorcery, wizardry that's another matter..), plus you have *true* divine spellcasters, not just Scholars posing as priests. Healing magic is present (they sure use it a...

Has anyone thought about how using, say, bronze or iron instead of steel would affect the 'performances' of the various armors/weapons available? It seems that me that this is an aspect of the game which has been all but ignored till now. Yes, primitive weapons do exist but I rather associate...

That's a problem with codes of honor (or the lack of). As a DM, you have to agree to their use after making sure they aren't going to destroy the party from the inside out. I mean, a bloodthirsty pirate (no honor to speak of) along with a 'civilized' nobleman and a barbarian. It's a recipe for...

Sorry Vincent, I didn't mean to sound ungrateful :oops: You did offer a solution and that's already better than nothing at all. I can see how using the rules from SoS would make sense but only if the potion was magical and the effect akin to what can be obtained through use of a spell. Here...

It's DC15 actually, but yes it exists. Still, it would mean that to use ANY of the herbs described in Hyborea's Fiercest, you would need to 'dry' them first to stand any chance at all. Somehow, that doesn't sound very logical. I mean. You're a Borderer that just learnt that in 1 month time...

Durn! I thought so but I needed to make sure. Thanks!

W-O-W! No cheap herbal remedy for the players! Thank you for the quick answer Vincent. That said, methink you made a mistake. The core rules specifically state that: Hence, why would the herbalist have to pay for the raw materials at all given he gathered them himself in the first place...

If a spell lists a certain magic attack bonus as one of its prerequisites, is it the 'base' bonus or the modified (-> including the Cha mod.) bonus?

I have a question about the herbs described p.52-53. There are no sp value for the different herbal preparations, hence no means of determining how long it takes to manufacture them (according to the Craft (herbalism) skill from the core rules) So, how do we proceed?

Thanks! Still, I wouldn't mind Vincent stopping by to give us his thoughts on the subject :wink:

After last gaming session (with most of the group reduced to negative hit points), a question came up about long-term (medical) care. According to p.164 (Atlantean edition): Natural Rest= 3 + Con mod. + 1/level hit pts Bed Rest = 6 + (2 x Con mod.) + 2/level hit pts So far, so good. However...
