Hi folks.
I’m relatively new to Runequest. I played in one game that was truly brutal. We played with no magic, so only standard healing. I loved the combat system and the fact that you have to put some forethought into combat. I have run CoC and BRP, but in non-fantasy settings.
I want to run a game soon and have a few questions.
First, I would like to use divine magic and sorcery but no common magic. How well do think this will work? My hope is to have a priest type and a sorcerer type. Will the non-magic users be underpowered? Will the two styles be balanced?
How compatible is BRP with MRQ2? Are the magic staff rules, from BRP appropriate? How about the familiar rules? Is it possible to modify spells from BRP to MRQ 2? I have read that for an extended adventure, that it may be necessary to increase the rate of magic point regeneration and more spells the better.
In MRQ1, it was possible to take a penalty to target a specific location or bypass armor. To my knowledge with combat maneuvers, this isn’t possible. Anyone still use the penalty rule?
