1970 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I like the magic system of Elric!, but not so much the demon summoning. I like Agency better than Championship. Would it be too much trouble to port Elric!'s magic system to Stormbringer 4? I don't see too many problems with it, but would appreciate the input of people more experienced than myself. Thanks!

1970 Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Never mind. I was looking through my copy of Magic World and that seems to be what I'm looking for as far as character creation and skill selection. Skills don't go over 100% and I can still use Elric!'s magic system and assorted systems. I can deal with the demon summoning as I go along I guess. Thanks for looking in any case.

For the spells, no problem at all, You can use the Elric! spells as they are and keep the rest of SB4. To better balance things, I'd make spellcasting a skill starting at POW+INT or at POWx5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic World is identical to Elric! in this respect. See page 37..."Expect skill levels to regularly exceed 100 percent." They may not go over 100 at chargen (in Elric! neither do they) but can exceed 100 through experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970 Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 That sounds like a great idea. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to do this, how would I account for spells with variable MP costs? 38 minutes ago, smiorgan said: Yes they do! Magic World is identical to Elric! in this respect.

I misread the section I was basing my post on. Thanks for straightening me out. Still, there seems to be an optional rule to limit characters to 100% or less, as mentioned under the Angel profile (Magic World 155), but I can't find it in the rulebook. I may limit it anyway; I don't know yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think I have this figured out. I just do as RuneQuest hath done before me. Simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
