[QUOTE="Madmaxneo, post: 7713666, member: 6716025"] I understood your original post to mean that those "F" and "G" crits were part of the Rolemaster core rules. They are an optional rule that as you quoted are in RMC1. They were part of Spacemaster core rules but I only used that system a few times in the 80's. I had forgotten about that system and those crits. Thanks for the reminder. The RM companions were great reads but many of those optional rules overburdened the core rules way to much, exactly like you mention with the F and G crits optional rules. They were not part of the core rules as they are in RMC1. There are loads of optional rules in those companions, most of them were laughed at (like the similar skill system) and mostly never used. In fact other than some talents and skills here and there the only thing I ever used was the CEATS system in RMC V or VI (maybe VII). The group I ran the CEATS system with enjoyed it as the best part of the RM system. In fact one guy wanted to convert it to run in his D&D game. CEATS (Combat Environment Action Tracking System) is basically a second by second action resolution system that, IMHO, destroys the turn or round based system. This discussion is making me miss those good old days of gaming. I am half convinced to convert my group to Rolemaster and stop playing HARP....lol. [/QUOTE]
