> I totally agree with what graham said about the Hw rules,they are
just great for any kind of setting.
They are easy and elegant.
I would like to use them for a cyberpunk setting,so I did some
conversion as well,with some help of roderick via e-mail.
Also he told me that issaries isnīt interested in publishing some
kind of basic rules,which is a pity.
Anyway here are some of my results:First of all I tried to relate
runequest damage and armourpoints to Hw ranks:
Weaponrank 0-weapons with an average damage of 2-3 (fist,kick,bite of
a cat,headbutt)
Weaponrank 1-weapons with an average damage of 4-(5) (Dagger,club,axe
rock,bite of a wolf)
Weaponrank 2-weapons with an average damage of (4)-5 (shortsword ,big
dagger,deerbutt)
Weaponrank 3-weapons with an average damage of (5)-6
(sword,mace,battleaxe,spear,slingstones,light
crossbow,griffinclaw,lions bite)
Weaponrank 4-weapons with an average damage of (6)-7
(bastardsword,medium crossbow)
Weaponrank 5-weapons with an average damage of 8-(9)
(flail,pike,greatsword,great axe)
Weaponrank 6-weapons with an average damage of (9) (iron hammer) Weaponrank 7-weapons with an average damage of 10-11 Weaponrank 8-weapons with an average damage of 12-13 (iron greatsword)
Armourrank 0-clothing (AP 0)
Armourrank 1-leather,horse,wolf,furarmour,aldryami wooden armour (AP1-
2)
Armourrank 2-bear (AP 3) Armourrank 3-kompositearmour(metal/leather),giant spider (AP 4-5) Armourrank 4-Mammoth (Ap 5-6) Armourrank 5-full metalarmour(chain,scale,plate),dragonsnail (AP 7-8) Armourrank 6-wyrmskin (AP 9) Armourrank 7- iron chain (AP 10)
So from there I just used „Cthulhu now" and a bit of „Hawkmoon" for
modern weapons:
Handguns between weaponrank 1-2/3(for the big ones)
(.44 magnum rank 6; .45 auto rank 4; .375 magnum rank 5)
Submachine guns-weaponrank 3
Rifle-weaponrank 7
Assaultrifle-weaponrank 5-7(AK-47 rank 5-6)
Handgrenade(5d6)-weaponrank 14
Handlaser-weaponrank 1-2
Gausspistol-weaponrank 8-9
Needlepistol-weaponrank 1
Assaultlaser-weaponrank 4
Also roderick told me a mostali gun/musket would probably have
weaponrank 5
Modern armour:
Threat level 1-armourrank 3-4
Threat level 2-armourrank 5-6
Threat level 3-armourrank7-8
Threat level 4-armourrank 9-10
Check www.bulletproofme.com/Ballistic_Protection_Levels.shtml for
some research on modern armour.
This so far,nothing is yet playtested.Maybe somebody has use for my
results,or wants to add his own stuff.
Peace
