Urgent! Re: [Rq-rules] Re: MERP

[grogthing]

I downloaded the pages. Lots of useful ideas.

The conversion document I had years ago had
conversions for the Darksun character classes into RQ
professions, but I dont' see that on these convrsion
pages.

I have FGU's Psi World Box set, it is a d100% system
too. I don't think it would be hard to use with RQ.
I'll have to take a look.

Not a problem.  I always thought that Dark Sun would
have been a brilliant BRP/RQ setting, provided someone
could solve the psionics issue, hopefully without a
PSI skill.  I suppose you could do an almost direct
conversion, with PSPs being STR+CON+POW, and all of
the devotions etc being skills at 1D6%.  Prerequisites
would apply, I suppose.  The AoE would have to be
altered as well.  Any thoughts?

There was another conversion as well, I can't remember
who it was by, but it suggested using Spirit magic
instead of psionics.  

As for converting the monsters, I would use some RQ
analogues such as the giant with a few more powers for
something like the braxat (Or even the other giants!),
and most humanoid monsters would essentially be human
stats with a bit of zing (Belgoi et al).

I for one would be glad to see it under D100 rather
than the dense and annoying strictures of levels,
classes and alignments!
