Non Human PC's
-------------------------------
Many people feel that a human can't really play a non human, Why ?
The thing is glorantha is a fantasy world , fantastic things happen
but it has all come from the human mind each and every one of us has
had to look into the non-human mindset in order to run them. Myself
I have many non human characters most of which are rarely played but
occasionaly I get the urge to play a dwarf / elf / troll etc.
IMG there is a dwarven pirate crew, a dragon newt Issaries trader ,
variuos trolls and trollkin , a newtling , agimor hunter (who knows
his spirit is dead because of his banishment and many others. Now
some of these are strange compared to the norm but that is part of
the enjoyment.
Sorcery
- ------------------
RQ3 sorcerers are undoubtably powerful characters but a large part of
how you see them is how they are played. My own is a follower of
Saint Erasmus of the Cup (otherwise known as St Erasmus of the
Foaming tankard) and he wanders the country in search of a suitable
site for an Abbey and Ride through/off license.
In Combat Sorcreres can be powerhouses but he can still be taken out
by a decent Rune Lord or Rune Priest. Why? Because sorcerery is so
slow. Unless a sorcrerer is prepared for the fight your average
Windlord will blast him on strike rank 1 with a 5d6 Lightning Bolt.
As for form/set spells casting form/set bronze on a helm would
definately call for a MP resistance roll.
Any comments?
