These were features for me. The ubiquitous minor magic represented good luck charms, minor prayers - after I started Steel Weapon re-enacting I always imagined that moment when medieval soldiers kissed the soil before commencing battle as being casting Vigor, and invoking a Saint over your Pole-Arm was casting Bladesharp 1 or 2...Balgin Stondraeg said:The only bad thing about RQ was that everyone had too much magic (that and the metric measurements that just killed the fantasy feel).
And Metric measurements may not feel particularly fantasy in feel, but they are far more logical and scaleable than imperial measurements (D&D and GURPS drive me up the wall). If one wants to be archaic, use genuinely archaic measures (cubits, chains, the pace etc), that's my view.
