[Rq-rules] Opportunity Attacks.

[tiggermb at verizon.net]

Hello again! 

As you might have guessed from my previous post, I think I have convinced my normal RPG group to try a series of Runequest adventures based on the "Non-Human Centered World" idea. I am going to try the sheetless adventure ideal discussed before, so that they don't feel overwhelmed by the mechanics. As I prepare the characters and the Adventure, I am looking over the RQ3 rules, and I am coming up with the odd question...

Here is todays!..

My copy of RQ3 states that players can take a type of "Opportunity Fire" melee, when someone passes close to them.

Do GM's usually give this in PLACE of a normal attack or in ADDITION to a normal attack?

I don't know how often this will come up in combat, but it happens in the D and D campaign that is currently being run, so I want to be prepared..

Thanks in Advance!
