My brother, whose<BR>character is a primitive who got board of mountain goat hunting and went<BR>to see the shining cities of the world ended up in the legion and
afer<BR>many years training and campaigning became a centurion and won/assisted<BR>with some key battles.<BR><BR>Well, enough history, he has announced that him and his century (whats<BR>left of it) are tired of foot slogging and want to try out becoming a<BR>mounted unit. This can be done in terms of the world I am playing, but<BR>here is the question. Assuming the select few who are chosen get sorted<BR>with cavalry horses and get some decent training, I would rule that ride<BR>rolls are a moot point unless a specifically difficult activity is<BR>performed, maybe jumping over a ravine or a big hedge, or doing sudden<BR>wheels and/or dressage type kicks. Fine and good, but what about combat, I<BR>was thinking rather than to bog down with specifics, to have them make a<BR>ride roll before going into combat that would cover the whole engagement,<BR>thats unless I have something nasty up my sleeve, such as prepared ground<BR>with ditches etc. Being a
basically lazy GM, I hope this will cover it<BR>without becoming too leborious to keep track of.<BR><BR>Cheers<BR>Tony<BR><BR><BR><BR>------------------------------<BR><BR>Message: 4<BR>Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 15:17:53 +1000<BR>From: "Mechashef" <<A href="http://uk.mc275.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=mechashef@emailme.net.au" ymailto="mailto:mechashef@emailme.net.au">mechashef@emailme.net.au</A>><BR>Subject: Re: [Runequest] barbarian to wizard<BR>To: "RuneQuest Rules" <<A href="http://uk.mc275.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=runequest@rpgreview.net" ymailto="mailto:runequest@rpgreview.net">runequest@rpgreview.net</A>><BR>Message-ID: <0481757AA4FE48F38C61B2D065FFF873@DellLaptop><BR>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<BR><BR>That depends.<BR><BR>If you are playing in Glorantha, then you are largely bound by the rules of that campaign world. It would be very rare for a Barbarian to become a wizard (sorcerer?) but a good GM can
justify all sorts of unusual things.<BR><BR>If you are playing in your own campaign world, then do as you want.<BR><BR>As was posted before, the big issue is how good a sorcerer your barabarian can be. Low level sorcerers are not very good at magic. It takes lots of time to build up the appropriate skills (spells and spell altering ones) to the point where the sorcerer is useful as a spell caster.<BR><BR>This is usually worked around by using the occupations and perhaps having the sorcerer older than most other starting adventurers. Having a character swap over from another magic system to sorcery will, in most cases result in a hamstrung character (in most but not all campaign worlds) for quite a while.<BR><BR>One other issue is that to start learning sorcery spells, the character may be forced by his teacher/s to forget all spirit and divine spells he has. Also, the gods/spirits etc that provided him withb his Divine/Spirit
magic may get a bit upset if he learns sorcery. Especially if the character is an initiate or higher in a cult, he may have an interesting experience with a spirit of retribution. Of course this depends on you campaign world.<BR><BR>But remember, it is you campain. You can do what you want. <BR> ----- Original Message ----- <BR> From: harry woolley <BR> To: <A href="http://uk.mc275.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=Runequest@rpgreview.net" ymailto="mailto:Runequest@rpgreview.net">Runequest@rpgreview.net</A> <BR> Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 8:10 PM<BR> Subject: [Runequest] barbarian to wizard<BR><BR><BR> one of my pc wants to know if his barbarian can become a wizard or any other <BR> type of magic he can use, i carn,t find anything any where,that says he can.<BR> i play the newist addition,<BR>
