I am working on something through JC with Simon what we hope to have out in the next couple of weeks.

The answer from the internet seems to be: "the specific outcome would depend on the terms negotiated between the parties involved and the prevailing customs and practices of the time."
Seems like it would depend if the party is ok with having Wolf Pirates upset at them.

Big agree on the defence mechanism. I much prefer it to the dodge process.
Although I prefer Dodge over Defense, I do agree that Dodge has significant issues, especially in RQ3. Overall in my opinion warriors Dodge, soldiers use Defense..

Sounds like a skewed sample. They got the result they wanted.

They should just make Simon's HeroQuesting rules official and be done with it.

From memory he was fine with the RQ3 rules (other than sorcery) up until characters started to Heroquest- that was the point where he was never able to create cohesive rules that meshed with RQ3 while enabling Heroquesting
We are still in the same place with HeroQuests.

3 was far closer to his personal vision of Glorantha.
I am surprised to hear that. My assumption was he wanted a Rules Lighter version which, imo at least got us to RQG.

Two onlookers watching a Brown Sage and a Sage debating the same lore skill would be hard pressed to tell them apart.
And the only thing I really care about in terms of the current game, do they have access to the same Rune Spells.

Sounds like the basic Godlearner monomyth.
I approve!!!

Buserian and Lhankor Mhy are fully identical save for associated cults
If you have differnt Myths, how can you be the same God?

There is nothing wrong with a Deity having different spells in different places. It can be explained by the myths being remembered differently, or by different myths having prominence.
Generally its not a problem, but what happens when a Buserian initiate walks into a Lhankor Mhy temple. Can he sacrifice for a spells which he normally not have access to? Would he use the same Worship. I am assuming yes to both.

Ward against Weapons
You call it that. I call it Damage Resistance. YGWV, but criticals ignore it.

Ward against Weapons makes their weapon a not-weapon.
Semantics. It's only unimportant if you lack a Law rune.
Ward of Weapons relies on the Death Rune, not Law. Shield runes depend on the cult. Both create a magical field which protects from physical damage, but with a different mechanic. Thus, Criticals ignore both. Semantics.

but I think Ward against Weapons counts because it is not armor.
Semantics. It stops damage. It is as much magical armor as the other spells, but has a different mechanic.
-
Critical hits ignores protection magic such Shield (rune spell), Protection (spirit magic) and Ward Against weapons.

I look at it this way if there is a POW vs POW roll, then there is no collateral damage. But, it could be a wrong target.

can you decide the aura of someone right in front of you isn't an aura you "want to target" ... then can you just "see right through" that aura, unimpeded?
Its no different from regular sight. A bigger issue I would say is if the POW of the two auras is the same. How do you know which is which?

Do these spells help to pick an individual out of a jumbled crowd, even without line of sight?
If there are 8 different people partially or wholly blocking your LOS to the target, don't their aura's obscure your target's aura, even as their bodies obscure the target's body?They show you auras and you can target an iduvidual one, which may or may not be the person you want to target.

GM: I suggest you move in so you can clearly see him or you can't cast the spell.
i would say that "see him" should be change to distinguish him. Second Sight, Soul Sight and Pierce Veil should work in most cases

Rotus Penpusher
Dark custodian.
Rotus was smart. Very smart. Too smart for a Trollkin. That never ends well for one of its kind. From most of his kin aspire to stay out of the next serving of Kin soup, or as ball of the next Trollball championship. Rotus wanted more than to survive. He learned how to count and was taken on by an Argar Argar to care for his good. This lead Rotus to start a career of bookkeeping and janitorial duties. A loyal companion, Rotus was never much of a merchant, but no one was better of tracking and making sure the even the last Bolg was accounted for. Even after death he maintain his now everlasting vigil for bookworms and arithmetical errors.
Rotus will his rune spell, as a Hero Cult, and bookkeeping skills to any pursuing the safe route of Maintenance.
CHARACTERISTICS
INT 12 POW 25 CHA 20
Move: 6
Runes: Darkness 60%, Law 100%
Rune Spells: Clean manuscript.
Skills: Craft (Restoration) 150%, Craft (Bookkeeping) 150%
Clean manuscript
1 Point
Ranged, instant, non-stackable, reusable (Law)
This spell is cast on a single book, scroll or manuscript. It immediately removes minor damage due to dirt or water damage and even restores tearing and handling. Cast on any script recently written, the spell will correct arithmetic errors. It does not perform spell or grammar checking.

Great if he can join, but it would be hard. Perhaps some sort of a minor spirit cult.

My issue at the moment is that Daka Fal grants all Common divine to his worshippers. Does that mean that worship of ones clan's ancestors gives the sme access?
What about a merman, can he worship Magasta as an ancestor and gain these spells as well?
