I personally see it odd that Legend doesn't include Literacy either as a core Advanced skill or as an optional one. Does anyone see a problem with adding it in (say borrowing from the BGB for most of the specifics)

Are you still looking for help here?

Other than differences in the skills list which would be adjusted, are there any problems that I'm not foreseeing with this idea (see subject)?

My rule of thumb is that Size loosely represents the mass of the individual in Stones, although this is entirely unofficial.

Looking at the average weights in pounds on the Character SIZ Chart in the BGB they map fairly well to SIZ (or MAS as I also prefer) equaling Stones on a 1-to-1 ratio. Frex: Average weight in pounds for SIZ 10 is 145lbs which converts to 10.35714 stone. Similarly SIZ 11 is 157.5lbs which is 11.25 stone and SIZ 12 is 170lbs which is 12.14286 stone.

GURPS Powers: Divine Favor is a supplement written by Jason "PK" Levine for GURPS and published by Steve Jackson Games in January of 2011. It describes itself this way in its introduction...

a self-contained power framework for such characters, known as paragons, which allows them to pray for aid. Depending on the paragon’s standing in his deity’s eyes, the answer may be anything from a moment of bolstered self-confidence to a plague capable of decimating a city! A worshiper can learn specific prayers, each one a “holy hotline” to a particular type of miracle – or just trust the god to send whatever help he sees fit.

Basically what PK did was take the standard GURPS advantage "Patron" and apply it to God (or a specific god) being the character's patron and the Patron reaction roll becomes the basis for the activation of prayers (divine spells). Other than having to change the roll from 3d6 to d100 I need to figure out how a character can buy in to this power and how to calculate the skill level for this.

I don't believe that any deeper understanding of GURPS Powers: Divine Favor but if you do have access to it and are commenting with that deeper understanding I'd appreciate you state that in your reply. Also, please advise if you feel I'm recreating the wheel, just can't find anything in BRP/RQ/etc that has the same feel as this.

Thanks soltakss and lawrence.whitaker!

Empires is still available through RPGNow, and only $1.

Cannot find it. Can you provide a link to it?
