[Runequest] Shaman and SPQR - Re: Ghosts and Spirits

[Paul Cardwell]

Mythworld has two types of shamans: one is the African type as shown in the original Runequest, with a fetch; the other on the North American Plains pattern with a trance anchoring the shaman to one spot, but giving immunity to damage (a bison stampede would go around, just like with a large boulder).  This is far too detailed to cover here, but the game is still in print.
