RMSS/FRP / Re: Q: Warcraft Orcs
« Last post by EltonJ on Today at 01:16:05 PM »
Actually, I want the orcs to be like World of Warcraft orcs.  Since they are like "real" orcs. (there are some differences between a real orc and a WoW orc.)
I hate to break it to you, but orcs aren't "real" :)

Why did I put "real" in quotes?  ;D

Add a link to a honey pot in the header.   Make sure it's not visible to humans.   Ban/slow anyone who touches the honeypot.

They come from a different planet than other elves?  Like the other elves come from the planet Arvandor.  They have dark skin.  Males have red (cool mauve) skin, and females have blue (night blue) skin.  Hair color can range from stark white, to light blue, light purple, and light green. 

I named the original drow planet Avalonea. They are also polyamorous, and typically have more than one mate.  Some drow are monogamous -- but they are the exception, not the rule.

Here's the article I wrote on their society:

Here's the article I wrote on their origins:

The idea is not an evil race.

I'd like to translate the World of Warcraft RPG orc race from from D&D3e to Rolemaster (SS/FRP).  Should I try a one to one conversion?  Or should I get Underground Races first?  Then compare greater orcs with warcraft orcs?  I could use a little guidance.

In what ways do want them to differ from Orcs that are already presented in the main book or the Logroki in the Shadow World books?

Well, he wants WoW Orcs, which are basically a new humanoid race. I'd start from scratch if I wanted to build the WoW races - even humans.

RMSS/FRP / Re: Stun Removal at -50?
« Last post by katastrophe on Today at 10:34:07 AM »
Given that the Stun Removal skill explicitly lists modifiers for the number of stun rounds already, I would assume you are not supposed to also apply the maneuver penalty for being stunned. Also, the -50/-75 penalty for being stunned only applies to "movement and maneuvering", which I take as meaning actually moving around, not all "maneuvers" in the RM sense of skill checks. Most actions don't have a penalty because they are simply impossible while stunned; stun removal skill is of course an exception to that.

We have always applied the negative from being stunned to all maneuvers, including skill rolls, such as casting spells. We have never only limited it to movement.

I think the big question is, how do you feel about armor? If your concept is little or no armor, you could even start with a warrior monk. The Self Control skill category is full of skills for pushing yourself in heroic ways: frenzy, adrenal strength, etc. Don't let yourself get stuck thinking of those as meditative discipline, it could be coming out of rage or determination, that's a character choice that's really irrelevant for the game mechanics.

If you want light to medium armor, rogues aren't bad for the outdoors. And of course fighter.

SoHK has the barbarian which is obviously what you are looking for. It also has the outrider which is like a thief with less of the social/urban and more outdoors skills. Less Conan but could be a perfect fit for some other members of the tribe.
