Yeah, took me a while to get used to it myself in d&d... Now I rather like it. My brain tends to stop towards the end of the day, so anything that makes things simpler is good in my book. :) I think an example like this is needed to clarify things. The one in the book doesn't really cover...

Things may or may not clear up by joining this discussion on the combat system (as applied to fairly detailed combat using a square/hex grid for movement): http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=43810 /Jonas

You did a great job, good enough to almost convince me to simply nick your rules. :) In my group we talked about using 2m squares, but eventually decided against it as we wanted to try for fluid, fast moving combats. One point in favor of 2m squares is that (as your rules show) it would make my...

In my campaign we also wanted to use miniatures and maps, we've found that with only some mild tweaks it seems to work pretty well. I do agree that charging is a problem. For now we've agreed that charging is for mounted combat only. Haven't quite decided how to handle weapon reach yet, still...

Thanks for the quick reply! (Especially as we're playing tomorrow. :) /Jonas

One of the characters in my campaign uses Beast Form (bear) extensively, and I'm undecided on how to handle damage and healing when the spell expires. So far he's managed to heal up completely before the spell expired, so it hasn't come up, but I'm certain it will soon. I see four options...

I'm not Lord High Munchkin, but... As for Orlanth, the Draconized Orlanth works pretty well as a general Orlanth cult, just file off the serial marks and exchange the two myths with, say: The Lightbringers Quest (see http://www.glorantha.com/library/religions/cop-lightbringers.html) resonance...

I've decided to charge 5 free skill points per Improvement Roll it would cost to learn the spell in play. I.e. per the table on p.118 for divine, table on p.107 for common magic, always 2 IR for sorcery (p.130.) For spirit magic I compared it to sorcerers (4 spells for sorcerers, 2 intensity for...

Short answer: See http://www.earth1066.com/D20FAQ.htm section A, it talks a lot about d20, but pretty much the same applies to any OGL licensed game. Longer answer: As long as they abide by the terms of the OGL (which is basically a copyleft license, i.e. you can't limit the rights of the...

Great! Getting them to Pavis shouldn't be a problem, we all have fond memories of the old Borderlands/Pavis/Big Rubble campaign I ran back in the day... /Jonas, feeling nostalgic

Seems we're about to start a campaign. Odds are we'll start with Blood of Orlanth, most likely with a God Learner or possibly Orlanthi group. How compatible would that be with the adventures in Pavis Rising? I.e. what do the adventures assume about the characters. BoO is great that way, pretty...
