If the spirit of disease succeeds in its Spirit Combat attack, and the healing spirit misses its attack, the disease spirit then can attempt to neutralize the healing spirit. If it immediately overcomes the healing spirit’s Spirit Combat again, the healing spirit will lose its disease curing properties, and it becomes a normal disembodied spirit.

jongjom Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Page 179 If the darkness elemental’s attack is successful, roll for the result on the Fearshock table: [elsewhere the type of attack, rather who is attacking, is used to name the table] Maybe change the table to reproduce the same method used as page 328 in RQ:G to calculate the effect (of Fear in that case). In which case delete the above sentence, and use the Fear Effect table (as per page 328 RQ:G) and use the below sentence instead: If the victim’s POW is overcome, the degree of success determines the effect: This will then also match up with the Moon Elementals (Lunes), see below. Page 179-180 It can engulf about half of one human-sized victim per cubic meter of volume. [This is not borne out in the next paragraph when a 3m3 medium elemental cannot completely engulf a human. Please change this sentence or the text of the next paragraph] Page 181 Note: The lune matches its POW against the target’s POW. [why magic points when other elementals use POW?] Change: If the madness attack of the lune is successful, consult the Madness table to determine the attack’s effect. To: If the victim’s POW is overcome, the lune's degree of success determines the effect on the Madness table. - The degree of success is important here, and should be mentioned. Partly as this is currently a different method employed compared to the darkness elemental’s method to determine outcome.

I don't see these statements as incompatible, I interpret it as meaning that they put 60% in Earth and then have to add at least 20 points from the 50.

PhilHibbs Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Various occupations give "Area Lore", is this the same as "Homeland Lore"? That's what I've put it on my character sheet as.

PhilHibbs Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) I think dwarfs get a raw deal on combat skills. The best an Iron Dwarf with average characteristics can start with is 80%. That's the same as an average Orlanthi warrior, but a Sartarite Humakti can get Broadsword to 100%, as can an Esrolian Babeester Gor or Maran Gor with 1H Battle Axe. It says "Specific castes may have certain skills at a higher base value" on page 58, but then none of them have any base chances listed. Also, should there be a base chance for Dwarf Lore, Metal Lore, Glorantha Lore? Does Craft (Secrets of Iron) have the standard 10% base for crafts? For comparison, trolls get Troll Lore (25), Dwarfs get no base in Dwarf Lore. Edited July 29, 2018 by PhilHibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebaninth Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) It would be great if you could review the Int stat for various monsters as per RQ3 - Creatures Book - p4 - "Typical Int Ratings" Suggest this is added to a space around p9 - 11 of the new bestiary. It will mean reviewing most creatures, as you have removed int from all animals.
