Is my French letting me down, or do Oriflam still produce a version of
RQ? From their website it looks like they still publish it, or have they
just got dead stock still in their warehouse?
Anyone that can shed sone light on the matter would be revered as a

Subject: [RQ-Rules] Human variation?
Reply-To: rq-rules at crashbox.com
Pete Maranci wrote asking about human variations etc.
I also wonder why many games tend to ignore variations other than to the
basics like SIZ, STR etc. I reckon variations can be fun to play, not only
as a human character. Imagine a suspiciously tall dwarf, or and Orc with
emerald eyes and blond hair and a very "elfish" look about it (Mary Gentle's
- Grunts! refers). And yes, how would people react to a midget in a fantasy
scenario. outcast from humans as a halfling, outcase from halflings because
he is human.
Also, insofar as other birth defects ect, such as a tendance towrards
alcoholism, one could always opt for a Top Secret SI setup, where characters
can take advantages but must also take disadvantages. These are done at
levels, so One may have advantage of being able to see well in the dark at
1, but also be alcoholic 1 (disadvantage) etc. then again, one could just
work it into a characters history and play it.

Subject: [RQ-Rules] Transfer [Characteristic] spell
Reply-To: rq-rules at crashbox.com
Hi gang (assuming anyone's still out there) :)
While re-working my Sorcery document (I had such a document previously,
but it didn't make the jump over to our new computer very well--Hence the
reworking. THIS'll sure show me to back stuff up on disc, I'll tell you), I
ran across a note about a Transfer [Characteristic] spell that I'd wanted to
include, but there's no description. I think it allowed both characteristic
and skill transfer--anyone have the *slightest* idea about this? Am I
imagining it? Help! :)

Actually, this was a conscious attempt to simplify things. One rationale is
that if all these races are living in the same world, virtually
cheek-by-jowl, then you learn everyone's First Aid, just like the citizens
of a country like Switzerland learn French and German and Italian.
That said, a system like you propose would probably work, particularly for a
world in which everyone isn't quite so neighborly.

Subject: Re: [RQ-Rules] Movement
Reply-To: rq-rules at crashbox.com
Weird. I kept expecting other people to mention the system I have used for
a while... Did I make it up???
Anyway, in my campaign, we use SIZ + DEX, divided by 8 for humans and
trolls. We divide by 6 for elves and broo, and 10 for dwarves and ducks.
This still averages at about 3 for humans and elves, slightly higher for
broo (they had 4 in the monster book) and significantly lower for dwarves.
However, in our party, we have people who move from 3.1 to 4.2. This
accounts for longer strides and lets us say, "We need to get a message out
fast - Kylei, you go." And, "Gee, our slowest guy needs a horse!"
Since I dropped SR, I'm moving to a system of Move x1 free in combat, x3
walking, x5 running, ... I've also realized that this as an hourly move (in
miles) works well - about 25 miles a day on an 8 1/2 hour forced march.
What do you guys think?

Hey,
I've been pushing Lore skills in my campaign, so you need a [Race] Lore to
be able to Heal at full effect. It started from the old 'Heal spell is only
1/2 effective on other races - use Xenohealing' from RQII. Since
Xenohealing isn't in 3rd, I added "a successful Animal Lore or Racial Lore
check allows you to Heal at full skill".
>From there, I'd say 1/2 skill (or -25% for more similar races), unless you
can also make a [race] Lore check. If you don't want so many Lores, use
Mineral Lore for Dwarves and Plant Lore for Elves?
Thus our Chalana healer also is training up their Racial Lore for races we
run into...
Hope that helped.

This sounds like a good idea to me. And no I don't recall ever
seeing this before.
>Anyway, in my campaign, we use SIZ + DEX, divided by 8 for humans

Looks nice and straightforwrd. It looks like it would be easy to
put in a STR scaling factor for encumberance. So a normal human
might be divide by 8. Then with varing levels of encumberance
(pribobably in terms of STR) increase by 1 or so. So a lightly
encumbered human would be 9, a moderatley encumbered human would be
10, and a really encumbered human would be 11 or more.
I can remember what AiG used. I think it used something similar,
but was table based.

Subject: [RQ-Rules] Bow - Too close to shoot
Reply-To: rq-rules at crashbox.com
Bow - Too close to shootThere are a couple of players in the group I am =
GM'ing that have specialized on the bow, and think they can shoot arrows =
at their opponent after being engaged in melee. One of their favorite =
tactics is to fire arrows without moving and letting the enemy come to =
him. Then to stand there going toe to toe while shooting arrows at the =
opponent who is trying to hit them with a melee weapon. (sword, axe, =
mace, spear)
I am simply saying that once engaged in melee, the bowman can not notch, =
draw and loose an arrow at an attacker. Especially with someone swing a =
weapon at them.
I am currently stressing two points with them;=20
1. in melee the bowman can not draw and loose the arrow at the opponent. =
=20
2. the arrow must be completely free of the bow string to get momentum =
to cause damage.=20
Their biggest complaint is that they have to take time to change weapons =
and could miss out on an attack.=20
Am I totally off base here, or should I allow bowmen to fire while in =
melee? I just don't see it.=20
Jim=20
