I'm David from Paris, France and quite new to this list. I've been playing in
Glorantha since 1986.
I just got my copy of Deluxe Hero Wars last week.
Is it possible that you post or send me this part of the drafts (circumstance bonus) ?
Is there any other nice ideas like that which did not make it into the final version ?
Has someone made a write-up of the Eurmal cult / aspects ? One of my players has
the
habit of playing trickster characters.
What cults will be included in Thunder Rebels ?

That's something I sorely miss from the drafts, it was a wondefull idea.
For those who don't know, you were allowed to say things like "Africk is a noted Weaponthane (keyword giving Close Combat) especialy when wielding his grandfather's Greatsword (Bonus when using this sword)."
The bonus you got depended on how common the circumstance of the bonus
is likely to be. A very common bonus is +1/-1 (+1 when under the
condition,
-1 in it's absence), a less common circumstance gives +3 and a rare
circumstance gives +6. Since Africk carries his Grandfather's
greatsword
about most of the time, it's probably a +1/-1 bonus. If he was
especialy
known for fighting lefties, he'd probably get +3 against left handed
people and Dragonewts.
This is a very nice idea, and it's a tragedy that it was left out of
the
final draft. It's also one way to handle weapons and armour. If the
character doesn't have the weaon or armour mentioned on the character
sheet, then you get no bonus since you're not accustomed to handling
the weapon and are clumsy and awkware while fighting in armour.
