My guess is that someone else also found it. Would you have a link to the thread?

Looks like that even the writers don't follow the this rule for the Tusk Riders. Xiobalg and Durag from the Apple Lane scenario both have more Rune Points than CHA.

Roleplaying in Glorantha p. 219 says that: How much STR and DEX is that?

Half-free basically means that they don't "own" the cattle or sheep they herd, or the land they farm, or their own workshop, so it's just poorer clansmen. Most of the Colymars in that class are not slaves. Clearwine Fort has 300 outsiders or foreigners, so the slaves could be included in that.

From the Gamemaster Adventures: Colymar: p. 12: 5,300 are adults... About 3,000 adults are free farmers or higher in status; the rest are half-free tenants, foreigners, or slaves Clearwine Fort: p. 22: 100 slaves; I wonder who those slaves are then. Perhaps tribally owned Lunar or Tarshian prisoners of war? Those numbers seem a bit high to be just prisoners from other clans who are waiting for ransoming.

Yeah, even Broos and Great trolls get CHA 2d6. e: and Trollkins too.

There are some slaves in Clearwine Fort, and the rest of the Colymar has some slaves, but is Ernaldori a slave-owning clan?

That table isn't a game engine for all Gloranthan farming, it's used only for PC's. The same goes for child survivals etc. Someone did the math, and only like 1% of poor children would survive to adulthood or something like that.

Let NPCs and PCs use it only if it fits the plot. Many interesting mystery plots won't be possible in RQG otherwise. The same goes for other knowledge spells.

I ran the Griffin Mountain scenarios with this premise. It happened after Boldhome had fallen, and the characters were captured as slaves by some provincial irregulars. The campaign continued later in Pavis.

Nice! How tough compared to normal humans have you made them in your Glorantha?

I think that there have even been haunted washing machines in his corpus.

Twilight: 1625

Agreed.

Found the post:

Iirc, Jeff posted that Waha invented cutting up animals, so everyone who does it follows in his footsteps. Except the Tusk Riders.

So if the searcher only checks for the area once, the hider wouldn't be found? Or if someone tries to sneak behind a guard's back to cut his throat, and the guard succeeds in his Listen check, and the cutthroat succeeds in his Move Quietly check, the cutthroat would get to him? Or should they both continue to roll until the successes are not tied?

What happens when X is hiding and Y is searching and both succeed on the same level on their rolls?

There are many overlapping skills in the rules, so Worship and Peaceful Cut doing some of the same things isn't out of the ordinary, and when you're sacrificing animals, I think that Augmenting Worship with Peaceful Cut would be proper.

Good point, I hadn't thought about the sacrifices.

Same and agreed.

This is a great Gloranthn answer!

A humakti bisonrider in my campaign rolled the following geases: wear no metal armor in left arm, eat no meat on Windsday, eat no vegetables, and ride no animals one day per week (Windsday was chosen). But which things are counted as vegetables? A case could be made that any edible plant matter is a vegetable. Or that grains, nuts and fruits aren't. And what is meat? Technically poultry and seafood count too, but in common parlance not. How have you handled, or how would you handle this in your Glorantha?

Yeah, I just calculated the same. I was finally taking the plunge, and put my FrankenQuest campaign on hold, and start running RAW RQG published scenarios. But perhaps I'll give the Hunter character +10% Devise, and +10% Peaceful Cut. e: and +10 Survival.

I have some vague recollection that I asked about that somewhere, and got an official answer why it is so, but unfortunately I can't find the post.
