Many years ago I was asked to create a system of mystic magic, to complement the sorcerers and shamans already in my gaming group. I developed a system. Much to my surprise, a friend of mine who's been running RQ off and on for the last fifteen years or so told me that people in his campaign were using the system: Every time he started a game, somebody wanted to play a mystic.

Well, with that stroking my ego, I decided that there might actually be somebody else in the world deranged enough to use this system:

So for all you rules-people, who like experimenting in their games, I present the original P A Christian Mystic Magic system - all rights reserved, but free to anyone who wants to use it.

This was an essay I developed for my own use: I'd been running D&D 3.5 for several years, and quite enjoyed it. But I wanted to get back to BRP, and my old friend Runequest. I was curious about how to convert characters from an existing campaign to BRP, as there is really little in the way of direct correlation.

In the end I developed a spreadsheet for calculating how long it would take an opponent of a give skill, damage-delivering capability, and armor to overcome another foe. By using those numbers, I could achieve parity, and establish what skill and magic levels could correspond to D&D levels.

The results are here, in a somewhat legible essay. I'd like to hear other people's comments on this work - was it a total waste of time? or does this add value to the game by allowing the adoption of D&D monsters into a BRP system.

Thanks in advance!
