Converting RuneQuest Adventurers
How does this conversion work in practice?
I used to have Endurance, but now after conversion I instead have the Invigorate rune spell that no cult in fact provides? How is it even cast in this case? With what Rune Points?
Just add the Rune Spell to the cult that your adventurer is a member of, and power it with those rune points. If this to you feel like a bad fit, follow the next step of the conversion guide:
Use the updated spell descriptions whenever available, and if a spell no longer exists in RQ:G the gamemaster should allow it to be switched for another appropriate spirit magic spell of equal strength, or an equivalent number of points in other spirit magic spells.
