[Glorantha] The POW characteristic

That's 5.6/level. Basing Will off of POW is a 0-point feature if Will is a separate attribute (Which I don't think there is) so it adds 5/level. That's 10.6 or 11/level. But I'd round it down a bit, since when your spend your POW you're also losing your resistance to outside magic. So 10/level is probably right on.

[claps] Nice. I dunno how well it fits with RQ6 Glorantha, but it seems like a good build based on my quick reading of Essentials.

To Anders: Thanks for the link!

*bows* I've played Glorantha a few times and that's probably what I'd do if I were running a conversion of it. It might need some tweaking, but the numbers seem solid and match up to my article "the Fifth Attribute" pretty well which has similar overtones minus the Destiny Points.

Speaking of links, would you please post one to that article?

Maybe I've read it it, but "fifth attribute" isn't ringing any bells :\

It's not out yet. It's for Pyramid. :-) Basically, it's designed to take the entirety of a campaign's supernatural abilities and tie them to a single attribute.
