Topic: Runes

[Widukind]

In H&S i found the sentence: ...

• medium, most
  Runes, Glyphs, and Seals encountered are “Spell Runes” in
  that any person with sufficient Runes skill can “read” the
  rune, effectively casting the inscribed spell using the
  encapsulated mana.,

Question:
I need enough skill ranks for read the runes, compare it on the "lore table" , HC 178?

Or enough skillranks for reach a achievement above 100?

[Elessar]

For me, it's just a roll with Runes bonus above 100.

Depends on what "runes" means to you as a GM and world designer, and for that matter what "reading it" means to you as well. If you're trying to glean information and commit it to memory so it can be applied later, then I could see the sense in Lore skills applying. But if you reading it with intent to cast it is nothing more than a trigger action for a pre-cast, pre-powered spell, then I don't see how Lore would apply. Sticking your finger in a light socket gives you a unique experience, but it doesn't teach you much electrical theory.

The character merely needs to make a Runes skill maneuver and get a result of 101 or more. See the Runes skill description on page 43 of the HARP Fantasy core rulebook for the complete rules.
