mikuel Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I have a question about Rune points. During character creation, step 6, when picking a cult, it states:" As an initiate, your adventurer starts play with 3 Rune points dedicated to that cult. " So do you lose 3 Power from your character for these 3 rune points? the chapter on Rune magic states that you have to sacrifice a rune point for each rune point. p.313 "A cult member may sacrifice additional points of POW to the deity, increasing the number of Rune points with the deity and gaining greater access to cult special magic. The sacrifice requires a full week of prayer and meditation in the temple. At the end of the week, the adventurer sacrifices 1 or more POW points and gains an equal number of Rune points. " I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runeblogger Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 No, those 3 starting points are for free. Quote Read my Runeblog about RuneQuest and Glorantha at: http://elruneblog.blogspot.com.es/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenowen Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 The character creation system assumes you've been in the cult for a while. Recall you generated a personal history of a few years before you start "adventuring". So you'd have time to get those POW back. I think there is an option to start with a less experienced character, though, where you might start with less than 3 Rune points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assumption during character generation is that you've both spent and regained the POW already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g33k Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 IIRC, there is also an explicit option to spend some of your rolled POW on more spells & a bigger Rune Pool... 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHibbs Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Yes, you can do that, I think one of the pregens has 4 RP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJ Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 In the character history - there are a couple of opportunities to receive a boon. One of the potential boons in an extra RP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
