question about rolemaster second edition races
« on: May 29, 2014, 08:35:20 PM »
first of all, I want to apologize upfront about any typos As I am using voice to text to make this message. And I also want to apologize if this is a question that has already been asked, as I have tried searching and have not seen it anywhere so any repetition is completely unintentional.my question is fairly straightforward, I'm just wondering if anyone has ever compiled a complete list of all races including background points et cetera with a key referencing the companion to which it came from.thank you for any help you can provide?

If I recall correctly, there are only two books that give races: Character Law and Companion I. I can't think off the top of my head of any more in core RM2 (though some sourcebooks, like Darkspace, had additional ones).

I had to collate the information you are searching for as I was running into the same problems you were.  I photocopied all the pages that have races and put them into a 3-ring binder for Character Creation.  It was the best way I could come up with to streamline character creation times.  I have been considering somehow digitizing it.  An added plus to the photocopies is that companion number and page are on most of the copies.  If I do decide to add it to digital media, I will keep you in mind and bookmark this thread.

C&T, C&T II, C&T III (no background options assigned)
One of the numbered companions (VI?) gave stats for all the C&T/C&T II creatures

Have you looked in the character sheets in the Vault? I would assume several of them have the data you are looking for. My own excel based chracter sheet (a bit old and needs some updates) have more than 200 RM races from various sources:  http://www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item615
