Topic: rolemaster professions in shadow world

[espardenyer]

Is it possible to take all the professions of rolemaster companions to shadow world?

Chaotic Lord, Moon Mage, Cristal Mage, Force Mage, Tarot Mage, Magus etc..

[TomOBedlam]

Do you want them in Shadow world?
If so, then Yes.

Do they fit into the mood of the world? I would say no. Even though we have a Chaotic Lord in "Norek", and he is such a good bad guy that I would allow Chaotic Lord for persons working for one of the great Evils (Not including the Arnaks, they have Messengers that fulfill that role)

Why not? If you feel it's ok, just go for it.

It's a matter of selection from the GM point of view.

All the RM classes are possible in Shadow World, even the ones from RM VII and a few from Spacemaster. 

After it's only a matter of will from the GM.
Do you want to have to deal with a character of this class or not ?

Once upon a time one of my gaming group was composed of :
- an Archemage
- a Chaotic Lord
- a Mentalist-Elementalist
- a Mentalist-Psionic
- a Montebanc
- a Sleuth
- a Fighter

and a few other I forgot.

There was only a few professions that were positivelly forbidden by our gamemaster.

I would say yes, but the Moon Mage especially must be fun ... with all those moons. Definitely has to decide on one or he is going to be really difficult to play.

As a more serious answer: It shouldn't be a problem. We always allowed all the professions to be played. We even had a Tarot Mage. RMCVI was never really used but some of those professions would quite well fit into a setting like Sel-Kai or even Kaitaine.

Namar Tol would fit the most advanced ( understand steampunkish ) professions. That restrict a bit on the race but at least you can have the profession you want.

Although Shadow world is up and running, its your campaign to run in any way you want so there you have it.
