All of them are pretty damn powerful. Look at Fire!Harshax said:Wow!
Darkness RuneTouched is *really* powerful! Then again, most of my campaigns were troll-centric, so my opinion on how powerful Darksense is (for ambushes, especially against non-darksense opponents) might be a little skewed.

Since it looks like the system I saw in playtesting, I'll venture to answer... no. In a manner vaguely comparable to HeroQuest (in concept, not in mechanics), the new system can be used to duplicate any of the old spells, and in a way makes more Gloranthan sense then the original! But it's pretty much Theistic, it didn't sound at all Animistic or Sorcerous to me.TrippyHippy said:The magic system is interesting though - have they integrated all of the old magic systems into a single unified system to start with?

Matt can we be pains and ask for one more piece of preview, the character sheet please?
t-tauri said:Okay. So far so good. That looks good, though the presence of a "metal" rune is a bit iffy, especially as it seems to enhance the lately invented iron. Happy with the preview.

I'm sure it used to look like the London Transport logo.

Thank you so much for pointing that out to me! The Nisasan Cars/London Transport logo version of the Chaos Rune was part of the reimaging-for-it's-own-sake of HeroQuest. The horned darkness symbol was ALWAYS the Chaos Rune before that.
So, looks hopeful that Mongoose will be throwing out some of the HeroQuest retconning right from the start...

Wulf Corbett said:OK, so...
A number of effects mention a 'Resillience' test...
Wulf Corbett said:Infinity mentions spells with the Duration trait...
Magic mentions the Runecasting skill...
Truth mentions the Persistance skill...
Just thought I'd point out the interesting bits to the non-playtesters :lol:
