skills and sample adventure

[mwsasser]

If you use two-handed skills or sword & shield and lose your arm and cannot get it regenerated by a healer. Do you have to start your combat skills over? Can you divide sword & shield into separate skills?

If you have 2 combat actions, can you use more than one on Move action and get double movement?

Is there a demo adventure that Mongoose has released for RQ2? Or has anyone else?

Thanks for the answers guys!

You can do either if you want, but I'd just make it a Difficult (-20%) or Hard (-40%) task to use the skill in those circumstances. See p.31 of the rule book.

See http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/living-glorantha.php#noscroll

Three Gloranthan adventures there - two for Orlanthi barbarians and one a rip-roaring adventure for swashbuckling God Learners.

I'm not wild about glorantha but I will certainly look at those.

Any thoughts on the movement question?

As written, movement is an abstract system and doesn't really happen in combat actions as such.

If a character is not running then they can move up to their movement rating (8m for humans) during a combat round.

If a character is running then they can move up to (MOV*5)-AP in metres per round.

It's probably best not to try to track it too carefully. If a character isn't running then just figure out if it seems reasonable to be able to move a certain distance in a single CA without running.

On the scenario front, the Golden Liberation Society scenario for Living Glorantha could be run for almost anywhere with no need to say it's set in Glorantha. Basically you're hired to accompany a crew of adventures rescue hostages from a dark continent.

Quite a few scenarios in the S&P magazine you could choose from, some generic and some setting specific. The index in this forum could help guide you to the scenario you want.

I think you guys have rounded out my questions nicely. Thanks much.
