Perhaps instead of introducing a new mechanic in specialization, you could use an already existing one - heroic abilities. Certainly this would work for combat styles in excess of 90%, or for a high athletics character to perform Parkour moves, etc. Extra CA's could be granted for sufficiently...

It is the same cover as the printed book I believe.

As I understand it, yes, he could use the extra CA for spellcasting. The reasoning is that the defensive advantage from the shield, or at least the possibility of one, gives you more time/opportunity to accomplish things in a combat round.

Looks nice at a first glance. Thanks.

From the Brawn skill (page 36): "As a mass equivalent, 1 point of SIZ equals, roughly, 5 kilograms." I suppose that is the 'official' RQII stance, hope that helps.

Well, by the RAW you do have to declare a parry before the attack roll is made, just if the attack misses you can choose not to parry and save the CA. A slight difference, but it may be important at some point.

I'll agree that it is not the same thing, but the intent of the styles - sword and shield for example - is that you are equally proficient with all the weapons in your style. So your warrior practices with both sword and shield, sword alone, and shield alone, allowing him to have the same skill...

I have a question on Disruption. If say you are casting it at magnitude 3, does it hit three random locations for 1d3 each, or one random location for 3d3 (which would be very powerful in my opinion). I'm tempted to believe the first is correct, since Common magic is "weaker", but I just...

That is covered in the default rules. Only the highest armor counts for AP, the other is ignored (and I can't remember if the armor penalty stacks, or is just the worst of the two).

So would I honestly, and that is what I thought Spacequest could be. But since Mongoose is putting out Traveller I don't see any chance of a hard sci-fi RQ based game.

I was so looking forward to Spacequest too. So at this point, a space opera book for the Eternal Champion line might well be something I would buy.

Wow, I really look forward to your conversion.

Characteristics always increase on a roll of 96-00, and I thought that applied to skills also, although now I see that is not stated anywhere. So I suppose if you are okay with a 1% increase past 100% leave it as written, otherwise you could have the 5% chance of an increase like...

That could be very interesting, if it managed to keep the frantic action and humor of Paranoia.

Looking good, thanks for the preview.
