[QUOTE="Haffrung Helleyes, post: 5106571, member: 1068"] [b]Sure[/b] Thinking about this a bit more, It's not that the 3 systems have to be exactly like they are in RuneQuest. it's that the current D&D magic systems , put in Glorantha, would totally change Glorantha. Average people in Glorantha can cast healing magic. But the certainly don't have all the abilities that come with a level of Cleric. Turn Undead doesn't even exist. And cults have very specific spell lists... only a single religion in all of Glorantha has reusable rune magic that kills at range (Humakt -- Sever Spirit), and if I recall correctly only a single religion in Glorantha has ressurection magic that can be cast over and over by a priest (Chalana Alroy). Speaking as someone who really loves Glorantha, I think a game system that tried to shoehorn Clerics and Wizards into Glorantha would fail. Of the two the Wizard list would work better, I suppose. Good links, by the way. Ray Turney and I played in the same RuneQuest game for several years when I lived in San Francisco. We haven't been in touch for a long time, though. Ken [/QUOTE]
