Do not include large sections of a message in your reply. Especially not to say "Yeah, I agree." Those who do will be lynched. 2. Use an appropriate Subject line. RQR: will be prepended to it. 3. Do not engage in a point-by-point analysis or rebuttal of another person's message. It is too confusing for others to follow, qualifies as nit-picking, and it usually leads to flame wars. 4. There is no number 4. TABLE OF CONTENTS GAWINTER@aol.com RQR: RQ Rules Digest: V1 #43 Bryan J. Maloney RQR: Criticals and fumbles.

Likewise the GM gets PC*2 criticals & PC*5 fumbles and has to use them. Fumbles can be assigned to opponents, friends, or yourself.

Just remember this: According to RuneQuest, nearly half the casualties at the Battle of Thermopylae were due to self-inflicted wounds.

Merry Christmas to you all, and a Happy New Year. Don't eat too much pecan pie or drink too much eggnog, and if you do drink that poisonous eggnog make sure to cut it with some good whisky or brandy. I hope you find what you wish for under the tree and under the mistletoe, and until 1995 rolls in may all your dreams be sweet ones, and even after. - -- +++++++++++++++++++++++23 Loren Miller "I don't have to practice what I preach 'cause I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to!"

Confess Brian, tell them that you are the party healer and only have a 30% chance of casting spirit magic..... and so are very disturbed by the high possibility of fumbling!
