RQG Glorantha Bestiary Corrections Thread


MOB

Recommended Posts

As a placeholder for myself, prior to this post I have implemented all the changes I'm going to make. 

We'll keep making corrections in the InDesign file until we're ready to send the print-ready file to the printers, so by all means, keep all relevant suggestions/comments/bugfinding coming.

Some races get a racial lore, e.g. Dwarfs and Uz, is there a base for these? And Metal Lore? Why would you not let someone roll Mineral Lore to know about metals? Making a specialist skill for something only penalizes the specialist, as everyone else in practice gets to roll on a more general skill.

Minor typo, Uz Crafters and Traders get Insight (Troll), others get Insight (Trolls).

Gold Dwarfs get Glorantha Lore, is that a thing?

There are several references to acid, giving it a POT, but I see nothing in the core rules or the bestiary speaking to how this is applied. Is it just done like poison, as a resistance roll using CON to determine if it is full or half damage?

Up until now, in previous RQ versions, an acid has been doing damage equal to its potency. Nothing to roll against. It just hurts.

The core book gives a general sense of whether each type of poison is usually slow or fast-acting, but it would really help if the poisonous creatures in the Bestiary specified for each creature whether their poison is fast or slow-acting. Also, giving the category it falls into would be helpful in terms of adjudicating antidotes quickly. As it is, all it says for each that it is a "systemic poison", which doesn't really need saying because all beast-delivered poisons are. What would be more useful for wyvern (page 129), instead of:

"The sting injects a systemic poison of a POT equal to the CON of the wyvern."

make it:

"The sting injects fast-acting wyvern venom of a POT equal to the CON of the wyvern."

I'd say yes, and that there are very few outside the dwarfs who would have it - perhaps Gonn Orta, the Red Emperor, Godunya, Argrath and Harrek, and few others.

Page 51 Morokanth get "any weapon (5)", should it not say "all"? Also, does this apply to shields? If not, then maybe "all melee or missile weapon" would be clearer. If indeed it applies to missile, which I suspect it does.

The weapons section says Long Spear 45% and Heavy Mace 40%, I assume that this means that a typical encountered Morokanth warrior will have raised it from their 5% racial base to this level.

Baboons have been strong in magic ever since their first appearance in Nomad Gods. They are supposed to be more magical.

p.67 Triolini, Ludoch. Skills.

"Sound 50%" There are no other references to a skill named Sound that I could find. The action that stems from that skill is not self-evident and it confuses me. My best guess would be the Listen skill.
