I love to generate a spreadsheet for my players and me to show all the possible CA in a RPG. As I couldn't link that spreadsheet, I expanded it to a list here.
As some of the rules are not clear to me based on the rulebook (Runequest 4), could you please have a look to this list, if it is correct so far?
