Why? We know from RQ3 GoG it provides Shattering, which is a super-disrupt. And the spell is in RBOM so I'd assume it's still a Black Fang spell. It's had a buff as well as it is no longer blocked by armour, and 4D3 is more reliable than 2D6.

Does anyone bother tracking where each point of CHA came from, such as items, missions, etc.? We've already lost track of it in my group.

I'm sure that when HeroForge introduces duck heads and feet, someone will spot it and let us know.

I think they would be physical arms made of bone and muscle, capable of sensation including pain and shock. They aren't glowing phantom arms made of sunlight. It's "Sprout Arms", not "Phantom Arms".

You must be thinking of Varakos maybe? He's the Humakti. Or Mago the Fierce?

Orientation is probably the big contentious issue among Glorathan cartographers. And probably more so for the invader than the defender. Place names and direction signs were removed all down the East coast of England so that German spies and/or invaders would not know how to get around and would have to ask. So any up to date quality maps of Sartar are going to be made by Lunars and viewed with suspicion by Sartarites.

Same HP calculation, but you would need a new hit location chart. If you feel that as the hit point mass is now distributed over a larger area and should be slightly lower, then you probably would also need to increase the SIZ slightly to account for the increased body mass of extra arms and the two should exactly balance out. I don't see why a person who sprouts extra arms has to become heavier. Keep it simple. Unless they go for a dozen extra arms maybe.

Kristen isn't one of the pregens.

I wouldn't rule out Storm Bull involvement entirely. They aren't all a hundred percent the stereotype. I could imagine Enkala, Linda's character in the Chaosium house campaign, being persuaded to go along with it.

Oh, it works ok on the Introduction page that you showed, @David Scott! Every page after that that I have tried is wrong though.

I'm using Acrobat Reader.

Can someone who knows about PDF authoring explain to me why the text order in the RQG rule book is wonky? It always finds results in the right hand column first, then the left column. And you can't select text that flows from the bottom of the left column to the top of the right. It's so consistent that it almost has to be deliberate!

Only the president has executive privilege. He may claim to be the president for all we know, nothing should surprise us. As Morgan Freeman said, if his head splits open and an alien spaceship flies out, we should be expecting it. I'm expecting the phrase "the fifth" to occur a lot.

It's all very depressing, it's getting so much harder to justify mocking the US for their leadership train wreck over the last few years.

I'd say yes. RQ did away with the rank for a lot of cults because they aren't warrior cults. But why does Rune Lord (or whatever title you like for your setting) have to be a martial role? You could have the priesthood devoted to spiritual matters, communicating with the deity, running the temples, teaching the acolytes. The Champions (as per Bill's suggestion) go out into the world and practice the skills of the deity. Warriors fight, healers heal, grain goddess Champions bless the crops and investigate locust plagues, heralds carry messages and gather news and sing ballads. Priest might then not be so much of a player role, unless you have a sedentary campaign based around a settled community. Champions would be the natural promotion path for the roaming troubleshooter type adventurer, they go out there and do the god's great works in the world, whatever that may be, without being tied down to running a temple.

Depends on the story, if it's Samson or Cú Chulainn or Arnie's Conan then maybe he does bust his bonds, but you're right that there are plenty of other more interesting options than brute force.

Oh, and I found a free version of the Charcuterie font.

If anyone wants a printed set of sheets with a character illustration (you need to provide the picture, I'm not really an artist, but if you have source images I can do some compositing) then PM me. I can print A3 folios on good quality heavy paper and fold them nicely so they become like a slim folder for storing the additional sheets inside.

Added a Cults sheet, redrew the elements circle (link to files in first post).

And it's stackable with the Strength spirit spell (+8), so if you have 16 base STR then that's 40 vs 45 which is getting up to a decent chance with an augment.

Hofstadter's Law: "Things always take longer than you first think, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law."

Not sure if I prefer this formulation, slightly smaller gorilla (or is that slightly larger scorpion?) and different carapace/torso interface. I think I can grant that wish. No flamingo this time.

45 and 60. Or whatever you think appropriate, he keeps growing. No indication in the article, presumably "when and where your adventurers are on a ship". He has rudimentary armouring skills, so although the pircture doesn't show it, he has mismatched bits of giant crab shell and sea serpent scale armour. His chaos taint gives him high magic resistance as well. The article "The Monsters of Magasta" was by @Nick Davison so if you ask him nicely maybe he can help you out.

I don't have a PDF version, but it starts "The Norican Giant is a gigantic Malasp Merman". His name was Nee-Gatta but he stumbled into a chaos cave and got tainted and grew into a giant. His RuneQuest physical stats are a little under double those of the Gnydron, but his DEX is only 10.
