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

Mago and his Small Air Elemental

Clarification

In How to Play Mago it says:

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

Narres

Narres’ Money

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.

Become (Other Sex)

One of my players is playing Narres. He wants to use the spell Become (Other Sex) to become a woman with a specific appearance — just to look like Aranda of Nochet, a fellow player character. Is it allowed to use the spell in this way?

The base Rune spell is Become (other shape) with the shape specified. Become (Other Sex) changes the shape of the caster to the shape specified. From here there are a variety of answers:

• The caster retains their features, but becomes the shape of the other sex (hair and skin colours retained)
• The GM allows the player to vary the exact shape per casting.
• The spell is even more specific and the shape is specified – Become (Aranda of Nochet). Note that this is achieved with the Proteus / Meld form Rune spells.

On Narres’ sheet the spell costs 1RP, in the rules booklet it costs 3RP. Which one is correct?

Per the Red Book of Magic, three Rune points is correct.

Does Become (Other Sex) last only 15 minutes, like most rune spells,

Yes, it is temporal, but can be Extended.

or is it a true transformation, meaning that returning to male form would require casting the spell again?

It is not Permanent. The caster reverts after 15 minutes, unless cast with Extension.

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

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.
