[RQ-Rules] RE: Wizardry

[grogthing]

Well if a person really wants the D&D magick system in
RQ, the only thing that that D&D has that Rq doesn't
is levels.

So you just have to have a wizardry skill % / level
conversion.

Here is the wizard spells per day progression chart
from the SRD.

Instead of this being a per level chart covering 20
levels of progression, you divide 100% by the 20
levels provided to give you the % value of each
progression = 5%.

So you change the level chart to a skill percentage
chart. Each full 5% of skill in Wiazardry takes you up
a level on the chart and you can use the D&D spells
right out of the book.

form of tyranny over the mind of man." - Thomas Jefferson

"It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." - Thomas Jefferson

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry

"A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious." - Aristotle
