suits perfectly what was on my mind, I can't wait to test it! thank you!

Thanks guys! but, as Mankcam says, I prefer to stick with the rules I like OpenQuest for his simplicity and immediacy. I know that RuneQuest 6 is a great game, but is bigger than my needs. I like the idea of combat styles, combat styles traits, lot of combat maneuvers, everythigaboutthemonsters... but I don't really need it, expecially now that my players are 100% rpg-newbies. What I'm looking for is a quick and easy way to determine the size of monsters' weapon for parrying purpose, because it seems really strange that such an important info is missing. Roughly I would say that SIZ is the key...

Hello guys! I've noticed that monsters' weapons lacks of a size descriptor (in OQ as well as in RQ SRD). never been a problem until one of the characters tried to parry a centaur kick with a small shield. Even if the shield was a buckler, I've decided that it would absorb the whole damage (because small shield=medium size)... but I'm not sure about the choice. And now I'm losing my mind thinking about parrying dragon's tail whips and other monsters' big natural weapons. Is there a way to determine (loosely) the size of monsters' natural weapons? Taking the dragon chart for my example, I've opted to match the monsters' weapons damages with the closest crafted weapon's damages. The result is: bite 1D10 (like a lance, Heavy) claw 1D8 (like a lot of one handed weapons, Medium) tail 1D20 (more powerful that any crafted weapon... Huge) What do you think about it?

thanks for the welcome guys! of course, I'm italian! I really fell in love with OpenQuest, I'm using it to run a campaign with rookies and it's going great. It's almost a year that I'm working on an italian translation, and even this project is running fine About Stormbringer: I've got the italian edition by Stratelibri, reprint, cover-dated 1995. It gave me great times of fun and epicness!

as the title says... hello guys I'm a long-time fan of this forum, now I wish to interact with the community! I've played RPGs for half of my (not so long) life, and I've betrayed the d20 years ago when I got my hands on Stormbringer... Now my main interest is OpenQuest I also own Cthulhu dark ages (ita) and Legend. I'll try to not bother you too much Ciao!
