You do not need to be a fighter to benefit from this spell, especially if you receive it from an associated cult. Example: Ernalda.

We have a different way of viewing things

She is the Dark Troll Arkati Queen who does not approve of Arlaten muscling on her gig in the Rubble.

What about Mikos, Aziok and her daughters, and Maculus?

Having done such convertions, I would say no. It is not too bad.

In part this was a serious question. Do priests of Uleria still maintian their D10 DI in RQG?

Does not have to be. Any multiple births are considered to be trollkin even if they are Uz in every other way.

And then there is Uleria, or are you guys taking away the D10 from her priests? I mean she her role is to act on the physical world 😈

They will have boosted stats with sorcery to make any restrictions such these meaningless.

AA go where Night's rule is not absolute and danger abounds. Trollkin need to be trained and organized and even though AA's primary role is not of a fighter, his leadership role speaks to the need of military aspects. I would say there is a good case there for some Rune Lords.

You are still laying RQ2, suggest you move to RQG. 😁 Why do you feel this spirit should have access to common rune spells?

Only Iron dwarves would have primary melee tools, and these dwarves would surely choose tools which are the best for the job. Yes, other dwarves have blunt tools listed, and dwarves are good at using their tools, but they are not the best tools for the job of war.

They are said to exist in Pamaltela. There was a reference to a crocodile like people in Western(?) Genertela

According to Jeff, there are multiple Draconic humanoids, in addition to Dragonewts. There maybe Sun Dragon worship thee.

What if the Humakti stays away from THOSE gifts and geases. Severing before rejoining is a form of Baptism. I would say, in the extreme case, their Rightness is set to 0 or 100 and start his life from there.

In previous rules, I believe warhammers could crush or impale. So, have them impale as by default.

Malkionism is a nationally supported cult. I think what we are dancing around here that the source for all magic in Glorantha is the same, but to be useful to must be channeled and structured. I believe Jeff previously referred to making structures in order to cast sorcery. In the same way Rune magic and Spirit magic are already pre built structures. They are shortcuts with specific and limited results whereas sorcery is the long, but flexible way of doing it. If we consider that than the difference between Zzaburi and other castes is that Zzaburi do not take shortcuts. in this way we can see as to why Malkioni societies are in part no different than others since they are not so different, but at the same time more versatile as there is no need to adhere and promote different specialist pantheons and spirit cults to cover societal needs.

Thank you Jeff, that is very usefull. Are special abilities/magical adilities determined by the person's level of RIGHTNESS within thier caste?

Since we are in the RuneQuest topic area, I am going to stick with what is in the current rule set, and until we see the actual rules for Malkioni zabburi use sorcery, the other casts use Rune and Spirit Magic and all references to Caste Magic => 😨🤡👺

But not all Malkioni are caste static and we have discussed learning sorcery outside Zzaburi caste.

Right, but you are assuming a warrior picking up sorcery. If you start the other way, an apprentice going bad for example and then becoming a warrior things are work out much better. A warband with a "pet" sorcerer is a much tougher nut to deal with.

I see, so we can use this as guide for local conditions as it seems to run the gamut. Interesting. Thank you.

Is there enforcement of this? Do the Rokari seek out those from lower castes and persecute them?

Are they? Or do they just offer their worship to Invisible God directly without going through Malkion.

As was stated in the other thread (Worship in Malkioni lands - RuneQuest - BRP Central - The Chaosium forums (basicroleplaying.org)) Zzaburi use sorcery. The other castes suport the worship of the Invisible God, but may worship cult and spirits as well. The question I have here is do any Malkioni, except Zzaburi use sorcery? Is it prohobited? Is it proscribed? Or is it encouraged? How difficult, and how expensive would it be for an Adventurer, or just a tradesman, to purchase a casting of sorcery?
