[QUOTE="buzz, post: 524645, member: 6777"] [b]Against?[/b] I guess I don't see how the POW sacrifice is "violently against" the PCs. Rune/Divine Magic usually isn't magic that PCs start the game with. It's magic used by advanced members of cults, mainly Rune Priests and Rune Lords. So, we're talking about characters who are sort of "high level" in RQ terms, characters who are consistent POW-users (meaning they probably have gained a lot of POW in their careers; in RQ, advancement is usually based on what skills/abilities you actually use in the course of an adventure). They aren't sacrificing POW to a point where it's detrimental, as their POW is already high to begin with. And as they advance, they can regain the POW they sacrificed. I always thought it was pretty cool. Basically, a priest is trading some of their power for their god's power. And in RQ terms, it's a good trade, as Rune/Divine Magic is the most powerful magic in the game. If you ever get the chance, you should give the game another look. A great rules set for tis time, and one of the most developed fantasty worlds ever. It's too bad we'll never see "Glorantha d20." :( [/QUOTE]
