Re: [dq-rules] How many Versions of DQ were there?
Al, the other colleges added by TSR were Summoning
(TSR removed Greater Summonings) and Shaping Magics.
Sure, you can't summon demons anymore, but hey, you
can always summon a cute bunny to help you in your
quests.
TSR also changed the character point-generation table
from 4d5 to 2d10 (plus point range from 82-98 to
81-99), added an herbal table, substantially reduced
the badass spells of most colleges to negative base
cast chances, changed the chance to recover from being
stunned from (2xWP)+ remaining FT to (3xWP)+ remaining
FT, and mispelled the word "Skeleton" in the Lesser
Undead part of the Monster section (a mispelling of a
bold word in uppercase is how you can tell TSR
officially "edited" the book - it's what I call a TSR
"feachur").
The reduction in spell base chances is why our
campaign uses 2nd Edition for all pre-3rd magics
(including Geas and Curses) and 3rd Edition for
everything else.
Ron, between the Bantam hardcover 2nd edition and the
softcover 2nd Edition that was included with the
Master Set, the chance to recover from being Stunned
was changed from Willpower plus remaining Fatigue to
(2xWP)+ remaining Fatigue.
Has anyone had fun (short-lived or not) playing a Rune
Mage? What are they like? Are they unbalancing to a
campaign? Just recently rolled up a BUC (back-up
character) and am thinking about trying this path.
