Thanks for the responses. Yes, that all makes sense now. I was using rolled stats rather than the array. "For Humakt!"

I rolled a Humakti character the other day, and was surprised at how low the AC seemed when compared to NPCs. 1st level with average stats ended up with AC 17 (Heavy armor, no shield: 15, +1 for level, +1 for stats) Compare this to other 1st level enemies: Orlanthi Bandit = AC 16 Alpha Baboon = AC 17 Newtling Juvenile = AC 15 and 2nd level enemies: Orlanthi Outlaw = AC 17 Battle-Ready Trollkin = AC 17 Thunder Delta Slinger = AC 17 Dara Happan Legionaire = AC 19 I may be wrong in this thinking, but I would've thought that the heavily armoured merchant-of-death Humakti would have a much better AC than this, esp when you compare to the above enemies. The other classes also seem to have inordinately low base AC. Am I missing something with how I calculate AC here?

Thanks David. That one does add some more colour to the character sheet. I'm going to keep looking for a more detailed sheet though, or if I get time, try to create my own.

First of all, I apologise if this is something easily found. However, I am an old man and my Google-Fu is weak. Does anyone have any links to a good fan made 13thG character sheet please? The official one is a bit too bland for such a colourful setting. I did find one link to someone's homebrew sheet but couldn't figure out how the hell to download it. Thanks in advance.

Got it. Thanks. (coulda done with an index I reckon)

Do any other Gloranthan peoples use runes to mark their bodies other than Orlanthi? Would one expect to see a Praxian nomad or a Lunar soldier marked with runes? What about in other parts of Glorantha? If this practice is exclusive to Orlanthi, how would runes work for non-Orlanthi? I mean, the upcoming RPG rule set uses runes like Pendragon uses traits, so would I ignore this if I was playing as a Lunar for example?

I got the GtG in the hopes of being able to learn more about Pavis, the Zola Fel valley and Prax, but it seems to be absent from both books. Sure, there is plenty of info on Praxians and Sartarites and so on, but nothing on the region itself. Is this deliberate? Is there a 3rd book due out which will detail this?

Gotcha. So there were plenty of civs around before year 0. Hence plenty of ancient ruins. Cool.

Couldn’t find the answer to this in the GtG, so here goes. Am I correct in thinking that the world is only 1600 or so years old (depending on when one sets the campaign)? Did the Orlanthi exist before year 0? Was there any civilisation before year 0? I know that some current civilisations are built atop the ruins of others, but I don’t see how a civilisation could grow from barbarism, develop a civilisation of their own, collapse and then the whole cycle repeat in just 1600 years. Human civilisation on Earth took thousands of years to develop from Stone Age Hunter-gatherers. If people existed in Glorantha societies before year 0 though, then I guess that it is feasible. I know that the Dara Happans have a calendar that extends back a long way, but I’m struggling to understand how they managed that. Apologies if this question displays an amazing amount of ignorance but I’m relatively new to Glorantha, and have only just bought the GtG.
