Dazarim

Notes on Sureshot

Note that Dazarim was created for use with the streamlined Starter set rules, and that Yelmalio does not have Sureshot in the Core rules. Praxian Yelmalion Sable (and Impala) Riders (only) often worship Sun Hawk as part of the Yelmalio cult, who gives Clear Sight (RBM page 28). If using Darzim outside of this set, GMs may wish to replace Sureshot with Clear Sight. Alternatively GMs may state that Sun Hawk gave Darzim Sureshot as a unique spell.

Mago and his Small Air Elemental
Clarification

In How to Play Mago it says:

Quote
  • Summoning and Commanding your small Air elemental uses all your Rune points.

The implication of this is that he won’t Summon and Command his small Air elemental as Berserker and Face Chaos are more useful (and of course Heal Wound). If a player does decide to do this (and use all of Mago’s Rune points), here is the stat block for it:


Makarios

Change
  • Skill category modifiers are Knowledge +5%, Magic +0%, Manipulation +10%, Perception +5%, Stealth +5%
  • Add Devise 25%
Part of Starter Set corrections 26 Jan 2022

Narres

  • Magic points are 27 (15+12)
  • Rapier does 1D6+1 damage Skill
  • category modifiers are Knowledge +5%, Manipulation +10%, Perception +5%, Stealth +5%
Part of Starter Set corrections 26 Jan 2022

Does Narres really have 1,400 L? Isn’t it too much?

It comes from their family history creation:

18-19 Pillaged Red Earth supporters. Gain 3D6×100 L.

RQG page 40, Family History, Year 1622, Civil War in Esrolia.

Varakos Wolf-killer

Two Swords

Note that Varakos uses his shortsword to parry (instead of a shield), he is not able to dual wield two swords as he doesn’t have the available strike ranks. Players can opt to use a medium shield instead.

Vostor

  • Search 30%, Track 10%
Part of Starter Set corrections 26 Jan 2022

Summoning Vostor’s Elemental

Vostor doesn’t have the Fire rune, so how can he cast his Summon Fire Elemental (small) spell?

The spell has the Magic rune , so page 39 says: The Magic Rune means the spell can be cast using any cult Rune. If more than one Rune is listed, the caster may choose which to use. Vostor may use any of the Seven Mother Runes’ to cast the spell. 


Yanioth
