  1. For the spreads I just extracted the pages from the pdf as images slid them together (removing the boarder and printed out at A3.
  2. That's what they have - their counter in WB/RM is mounted:
  3. See RQG, Benefits of Being a Shaman, Learning Spirit Magic, page 357. They likely know some spirit magic already, now they can get most spirit magic at the rate of one per day. They are likely able to fill their CHA within a week. Yes, for example Hearth Mother teaches Ignite.
  4. I've only used the smoky glow visible only to Humakti No, unless it's Discourtesy to a guest in your hall or home. per the Honor table (RQG 234) In my games it has been used pro-actively, with the caster asking if they will tell the truth under the spell. The innocent always say yes. Saying no in this magical would to Humakti clearly means you are going to lie. I'd suggest there's no honor problem here. Honor for Humakti is all about fighting and war. See: Lightbringers, Honor and Combat, page 108 Articles on Honor
  5. Camels seem to exist only on the Shadow Plateau (Can't remember the source)
  6. Personally, I treat it as when a Foundchild hunter fails to catch their prey - that's a silver deer quest.
  7. There were at least 21 beast tribes (families), the long noses, could be elephants if you want. There are elephants in Teshnos (IIRC), I've always imagined the long noses. as Gomphotheres as elephant is just too obvious.
  8. Cattle raiding is usually limited the those who are in their two year training after initiation, and for those who are behaving stupidly (See Cattle Raid in the GM Screen Pack for a good example). Yes, in the GM Screen pack, adventure book (page 92): The cattle are marked with the Black Spear of Colymar Notes on livestock, page 87 details ownership. Lightbringers 147: Raiding All the Praxian tribes prefer to capture and eat the beasts of other tribes rather than their own. The raiding of tribe against tribe is a regular feature in their lives. Only in rare cases will there be any mixing. In clans, small mixed herds for dowery purposes are kept separate until needed, then eaten as part of the marriage event.
  9. It's that Foundchild eternally hunts the Silver Deer, but never catches it. See the box on 271 of Borderlands and beyond. It's the lunars that trap it using foreign magic. I wrote this for a game: During the Lunar advance into Prax, an Orogerian hunter came upon the Silver Deer in salaseh. Through its silver form she saw Purendi, and so he was distracted by her hunting call and was hers. See the Entekosiad for explanation.
  10. I love how WRBM is still so relevant today: (Colymar, Foot Militia, Mounted Militia and Two Ridge Farm) Do you think the Mounted City Militia has a better combat factor and Move due to better resources? I can also imagine the Malani unit is smaller, but packs the same punch.
  11. Given the amount of snake imagery in the Earth Goddesses book and the ubiquity of the Snake Daughter, it was great that the British Museum Blog has just published an article on some of this imagery. It also includes some spirit houses (for your wyters) and snake pagodas (shrines to Snake Daughter). Pythons, porcelain and power: an artist's fascination with snakes Green Burmese Python and Naga Maedaw serpent by Soe Yu Nwe:
  12. Forgotten as a weapon, not as a place
  13. Ancient Origins has published an article on Hunting Instruments Dating Back 1,900 Years Discovered in Mexican Cave. As one of the items is an atlatl, they linked to a great video on atlatls - Why the atlatl became forgotten (no mention of +1D6 damage and +10m range though) :
  14. You might find this helpful: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/the-average-sartarite-clan/
  15. I really don't know how you came to that conclusion.
  16. When rolling POW vs POW use the result threshold with the Ability Results Table, eg 15 POW vs 18 POW has a 35% chance of success so using the Ability Results Table (RQSS 8 or RQG 143): Ability Critical Special Success Failure Fumble 33–37 1–2 1–7 Per ability Per ability 98–00
  17. I've always used the demi-birds as the weapon in mounted melee (per @Joerg) as they are in perpetual mental link with their riders and follow their every order. They are far superior to any dragonewt melee weapon. Their dodge of 50% also makes them dangerous opponents.
  18. Tap changes what ever the target is in to magic points (see Steal Breath and Tap Body in the Core Rules). If the magic points aren't used to make permanent things (that's what POW does through Enchantment). I don't think it does. The Entika drained the water from Oslira, then it fell as rain filling a the ditches of Dara Happa. It was a god-forged weapon (Kargan Tor) not tapping.

  20. I don't think Kargan Tor did anything to himself, None of the Celestial Court (bar Uleria) survived the cosmic explosion vaporised the Spike and its inhabitants (Mythology 47). The pure powers were left and became part of those who now "own" the runes. In this case it was Humakt who remade the remains into something new. The debris of Larnste was a secret hidden by Mastakos in the Well of Daliath, and so on.
  21. We know that Kargan Tor deserted his post and allowed the invasion of the Spike by Chaos (Prosopaedia 75). None of the Celestial Court, except Uleria survived the destruction of the Spike, they were all transformed or devolved in some way. In Lightbringers (page 101), we know that Eurmal found the Great Divider which is clearly (to me) is the remainder of Kargan Tor. Eurmal kills Grandfather Mortal, the effect being that the road to hell opens. This witnessed by Humakt (in Mythology this story doesn't involve Eurmal at all, other than he facilitates the use of Death), who takes the Great Divider and forges it into the True Sword, which is now Death itself. So the Great Divider becomes the "new toy" Death. As to what shape the Great Divider, was before it became the True Sword, we'll never know.
  22. The Prosopadia entry (page 70), says he's the god of God of Conflict and Separation. It makes it clear that his duties are not well understood as Death didn't exist, and that he commanded powers that tear things or people apart.
  23. As a story hook yes. The adventure to the Dwarf to get a mechanical leg for your x.
  24. I've seen a few 3-legged cats (missing front legs), and recently saw a 3-legged dog (back legs). It's not uncommon: https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/animals/2018/10/how-animals-thrive-with-three-legs Two legs becomes problematic, but humans can often solve this, I had a friend with a dog that had lost the ability to use it's back legs, and so had wheels. There's also cases of front wheels: https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/video/tv/prosthetic-wheels-put-a-squirrel-on-the-road-to-recovery https://www.handicappedpets.com/blog/8-need-to-know-dog-wheelchair-tips/#:~:text=It's true that many wheelchair,exercise they so desperately need.
