Subject:  RQ Digest Discussion #1

Ed's note:  This is the first time I'm sending out an article labelled as
a discussion article.  This classification is for articles that are probably
not of lasting interest,  at least to people who did not post them.  I will
save only the most recent discussion articles.

Subject: RQ questions

The distance one can Throw an object seems a little short.  Has anyone
worked out a better calculation?

When a critical attack is rolled, does magic armor-type spells still count?
(i.e. Protection)

Has anyone come up with a list of names for priests and lords that don't
have them in Gods of Glorantha?

Re: the bonus you get when attacking from the target's unshielded side.
Does this mean that if the target has no shield you get the bonus?

Shouldn't a head shot, even if it didn't penetrate armor, still have a
chance to at least stun the target?  (i.e. damage vs head hit points in
resistance roll, if successful the stunned one round; special=stunned
2 rounds; critical=unconscious)

Instead of rolling spirit combat each time someone wants to learn a
new spirit spell, how about an abstracted system?  Currently I'm using
POW*5 to learn the spell.

Anyone have Worlds of Wonder?  I want a copy of the tech. book.
