I suppose if we ever run this this horror they will get 3d6+d4+6: Would anyone suggest that the Fireblade would neutralise the poison? Would it have any effect on the disease? (is the disease a spirit?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The text says, "Bladesharp-6 on cutlass and Fireblade on cutlass." I only see one cutlass listed, so I infer the description means that Bladesharp and Fireblade were both cast at the same time on the same cutlass. Which the descriptions for Bladesharp and Fireblade say is impossible. The description includes the terms, "Devotio Magic" but I don't recognize that phrase. What is Devotio Magic and how does it make two incompatible spells compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the real world, fire or heat kills most bacteria and viruses and burning causes a chemical change that will probably affect a poison. So yes for disease, and probably yes for poison. Though burning some irritants, like Poison Ivy, will cause it to aerosolize. Poison in the lungs can be worse than poison by contact. Of course if it aerosolizes the poison would affect the Broo first. Edited May 16, 2023 by Bren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales of the Reaching Moon 8 (1992!) had a special Chaos issue, with the article on the hero cult of Ragnaglar, Ulforg and a related adventure, Stoney Bones: Ulforg Master of Devotio A Chaotic Hero-Cult By Michael O'Brien and Jon Quaife within the writeup was The Ritual of Devotio Ritual ceremony, nonstackable, reusable. This ritual allows Ulforg devotees to receive extreme magical power in return for the service of their souls to Ulforg for a limited period of time. It's similar in concept to the non-standard magic found in the Smoking Ruin, basically making an NPC very tough in an unexpected way. It's powerful chaos magic that breaks the rules. Perhaps one day @MOB will JC it. Edited May 16, 2023 by David Scott 1 1 Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.

RuneQuest scenarios have frequently overridden the core rules with exceptions. Edited May 16, 2023 by PhilHibbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have that issue. Thanks for the explanation. On 5/16/2023 at 4:54 PM, PhilHibbs said: Somehow I missed the parenthetical.
