Subject: Just another rules question
Date: Sat, 21 Feb 1998 00:13:06 +0000
Hi all!
I'm actually asking for questions this time, not answers. :)

I'm trying to make a rule compilation. It's intended for local use,
mind, and got started from a need to make a house rule compilation,
but I'll send it here (That's a threat, not a promise) when it's done
too, so you'll get answers (eventually). I'm trying to work out
answers to common rule questions, short version of rules for easy
lookup, that sort of thing.

Problem is, what is common rule questions? What should I put in it?
I've allready done a quick guideline on spirit combat, a few spell
rulings, (spell learning, too. Thanks, Ashlocke. :), stealth,
cybersurgery, that sort of thing.

Also, do you have any house rules you think is *really* useful, while
not changing anything much? (Nothing drastic, like changing the
entire combat system or whatever. Simple oneliners preferred.).

(Example:"Each action takes 20 phases, not 10, but you get the same
number of actions. All 'that turn actions' go off at 0." That one,
simple rule fixes a lot of initiative problems. BTW it's not 'my'
rule, I saw it on this list, I think, or the NG.).
