Glorantha questions

[danskmacabre]

Just looking at Glorantha and I'm wondering what Demihumans are available to play as PCs.

I remember Humans (of course) and Ducks. I can't remember other available races.
I assume the MRQ2 Core rules donot accommodate for this and you need to buy the Glorantha book to get Demi Human rules (like rolling stats etc).

I can see there's the stats for Elves in the MRQ2 rules, but in the monster sections, I take it the stats in there can't be sued for PCs?

If its got stats, theoretically it can be used. Just take the creature you're interested in, apply an appropriate culture and profession and you've got a non-human PC.

Monster Coliseum extends the rules and includes the core Gloranthan races: trolls, dwarves and elves, which differ from the usual fantasy staples. MC also includes guidelines on professions and backgrounds. The book 'Races of Glorantha' expands it even further for trolls, ducks and dragonewts.

OK, so stats assigned as the normal rules for all demi-humans then?
It's just in Elric, Demi-humans have different dice combos to generate stats.

There are no rules for points-based creation of non-humans, just the dice. You could tot up all the averages and use that as a points pool.

No. The different races use their own stats as per their entries.

So looking at the Elf in the MRQ2 Core rules they generate stats as follows:
STR: 2D6+3
CON: 3D6
SIZ:2D6+6
INT 3D6+6
POW: 2D6+6
DEX: 3D6+6
CHA: 3D6

I also noticed they have a 10 Movemenet rate , which is 2 faster than standard humans.
Do Elves also get the traits Life Sense and Night Sense as Players Characters?

Is this all right?

that's the right general idea, though I believe the elf stats are for generic, non-glornatha elves. A better example would be Dark Trolls

Str 3d6+6
Con 3d6
Siz 3d6+8
Int 2D6+6
Pow 3d6
dex 3d6
cha 3d6

and so forth.
