In my Glorantha it doesn't, as they are not Trolls. As Derak the Dark Troll used to say, "Twice nothing is nothing!" So, I play that they are uncomfortable touching iron but it doesn't damage them. Aruzban Ironarm of Delela, Ralios, is known for using his iron bracers to burn captive trolls. Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccercalle Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Interesting thread. My group has played for a year (two years in Glorantha) and have never actually met Mostali or Aldryami. They have fought trolls, broos, dragonewts, newtlings and different chaos monsters. And interacted with ducks, Agimori and beast men. I describe Mostali and Aldryami like most people living in the bronze or dark ages would describe such beings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it could be like Golum/Smeagle being bound by elvish rope, "it burnses us!" if it touches elves or uz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erol of Backford Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) I was reading in the old Cult Compendium that elves can't touch iron so we'll run with that. This is under the Yelorna section, elves can't touch iron so not sure if its cult restrictions or just elves in general, thus the copper all the time? Aimed blows at the head of a troll with double damage plus iron so then quadruple. Maybe the Humakti fighting in the Haunted Ruins had truesword cast on their weapons. Even if 2 points gets through 8 is a punch to most Uz in one location... So humans know iron is good against trolls and likely elves and that is that. Get Piku to make you a sword of iron (1.5 ENC) and an iron bound hoplite shield (3.5 ENC guessing half the weight would be iron) of unenchanted iron and you'd be at 25% magic resistance to boot...
