In our RQ2 game, I had a stack of index cards an inch thick for Soltak Stormspear's magic items. Derak the Dark Troll had a leather jacket with "Derak" picked out in small POW Storage Crystals.

What it does give you is the ability to split to three (or four if you're really fast) 100%+ attacks. or perform 45 parry and still be at 100%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reading would say that the higher skill drops to 100% before it gets divided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would happen if the first attack is not parried but the second is? It's then too late to reduce the un-split skill to 100 because you've already rolled on the first split.

I checked the rules, and the divide happens before the skill is lowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because of things like this? 😉 Yes, I suppose you are right. The obvious answer is to have multiple items on a single index card. 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

Tyrian Telbenj Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 I don't like the idea that players have too many containers of few magic points that can be added together or that they have all forms of spirit magic in matrices. In my opinion it is better that they have to choose what to take with them and we don't always have everything at hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In RQG the spirit magic spells have such short duration, and they can't be cast silently before an ambush, so I've found out that they aren't as powerful as they used to be in RQ3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On to a slightly different topic, but when did the Sword do this? Our group is having a discussion about when it is "too late" for a Humakti to call for D.I. to not die. Some argue, and I think reasonably, that after you roll damage, then location, the Humakti is dead. They may still call for D.I., but not to live. Others argue, also reasonably, that this is pretty harsh on the Humakti. How have your groups been laying this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would allow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
