Welcome to the sixth issue of Express Additions. Inthis issue, we bring you a number of things that I thinkyou will really like.

For both our RMX and RMC fans, we start off with4 new races. Two of them are based on races presented inthe RMC Creatures & Treasures, and the other two arebased on the art that I selected to go with this section.

Next, for our RMX fans, I bring in the Seer and theHealer professions for you to add to your game.

And finally, we present you several new options.While these are primarily for RMC players, RMXplayers may find them useful as well, especially if theyare using RMC Spell Law to expand their character’sspell capabilities.

Enjoy!


NEEEEEWWWWW RAAAAACESCESCESCESCES

In this issue, we bring you 4 new races. Two of themcome from the RMC Creature’s & Treasures and the othertwo are brand new. All four of the races would make forinteresting additions to any campaign setting.

Note: while the descriptions of the 2 C&T racesbelow are based on descriptions found in RMCCreatures & Treasures, I have taken a few libertieswith them to make them more playable overall.

C C C C CORORORORORVVVVVARIARIARIARIARI (B (B (B (B (BIRDIRDIRDIRDIRD-----MENMENMENMENMEN)))))

Size: 5’0" to 5’6" tall

Lifespan: 65 years

Special Abilities: Flight, Nightvision

Description: The Corvari are covered in dark feathers, andtheir bills are sharp and pointed. They have only 3digits plus a thumb on their hands, and their feet arejust like the claws of a normal bird. Their wings foldsnugly to their backs, leaving their hands and armsfree for other things. The Corvari flock together intotowns and villages high up upon the side of steepmountains and cliffs, often trading rare herbs andgame from the higher reaches for things that theycannot produce themselves.

IIIIIDIYDIYDIYDIYDIYVVVVVAAAAA (C (C (C (C (CAAAAATTTTT-----MENMENMENMENMEN)))))


Lifespan: 70 years

Special Abilities: Nightvision, NaturalClaws, Natural AT 3, Superior SmellDescription: Short fur covers the

lithe, well–muscled form of the Idiyva(except at the face, the genitals, thepalms, and the soles of the feet). Smooth,brown suede–like skin emerges at thesefeatures. Green feline eyes give the Idiyvaexcellent night vision; fanged teeth revealtheir carnivorous nature. The toes oftheir feet anchor short, sharp talons, buttheir hands sport vicious 3" claws thatretract at the knuckle into the backs ofthe hands, leaving the fingers free at alltimes. The fighting instincts of a predatorlurk behind the civilized manners thatcharacterize most Idiyva, and the bloodycustom of a duel to the death remains anacceptable way to settle social differencesamong themselves.

MMMMMYYYYYOOOOOTTTTTARIARIARIARIARI (B (B (B (B (BAAAAATTTTT-----MENMENMENMENMEN)))))


Lifespan: 70 years

Special Abilities: Flight, Sonar

Description: The Myotari are normally a reclusive race.This is because many other races tend to find theirbat-like features very scary or intimidating, althoughthe Myotari are normally a very peaceful race. TheMyotari have bat-like heads, their claw-like feet, andtheir large leathery wings. Their bodies, arms andhands are much like those of men, except that they arecovered in short brown or black fur. Many Myotari,when traveling outside their own lands will don ahooded mantle to hide their features and drape theirwings about themselves as if they were a cloak.

VVVVVULFENULFENULFENULFENULFEN (W (W (W (W (WOLFOLFOLFOLFOLF-----MENMENMENMENMEN)))))


Lifespan: 40 years (wild); 60 years (civilized)

Description: Furred men with wolfish heads and tails.Wild Vulfen are often confused with werewolvesbecause of their nocturnal habits and theirbloodthirsty nature. However, there are pockets ofcivilized Vulfen and they can be quite charming. Eventhough they still have to struggle to overcome theirmore animalistic tendencies, it is rather easy to tell acivilized Vulfen from a wild one. The civilized Vulfenare cleaner, wear clothing, have a strong sense ofhonor, a good sense of humor, and a passion for lifethat is missing from their wild brethren.

Note: The Racial Stats Table contains the stats forcivilized Vulfen, which are slightly different fromthose of Wild Vulfen. Refer to RMC Creatures &Treasures for more information on wild Vulfen.

RRRRRACIALACIALACIALACIALACIAL A A A A ABILITIESBILITIESBILITIESBILITIESBILITIES

The above races have a number of unusual racialabilities. They are explained below.

Flight: Character is able to fly at a rate equal to 75’ perround plus the stride modification for height. This istheir Base Flight Rate (BFR). Flight may bemaintained for an amount of time equal to 1 minutefor each point of their Con stat (Temp score inRMC) without rest. Characters may use differentPaces with their flight, and the increased Pace reducesthe amount of time that may be spent in flight. Aflying character may carry up to half his weight whileflying, but only by flying at half speed. Characterswith flight may learn how to glide and ride thethermals, staying aloft for hours (at half speed).

Natural AT: A number of different races have specialcharacteristics, such as tough hide or scales or etc,that grant it a higher natural armor type than otherraces have. The entry in the racial description givesthe value of this natural armor type.

Natural Claws: Several races have natural claws that theymay use to attack foes. Character from these racesmay learn how use these claws by learning a skill thatcosts the same as the Martial Arts skill for theirprofession. These claws do a maximum of a Mediumattack, and they follow the rules in RMC: Arms Lawregarding unarmed attacks.

Nightvision: This ability allows a character to see outdoorsas well on a bright night as he would on a cloudy,overcast day. When indoors, this allows the characterto see 3x as far as normally allowed by a light source.

Sonar (Echolocation): Used primarily by sea creatureslike dolphins and whales, it is used by some landanimals like bats. Sound projected from thecreature bounces off objects and returns creating a“picture” of their environment. Creatures usingsonar will by unaffected by invisibility or darkness,and will “see through” illusions that do notincorporate feel as an element. ‘Silence’ and ‘Quiet’spells will behave like invisibility with a radius vs.this sense. Creatures with this sense inside theradius of a ‘Silence’ or ‘Quiet’ spell (Either cast onthem, or that they pass through) will have theirsonar “blinded” as long as they are within thesilence radius. Feel illusions (Phantasms) willappear as real objects to this sense as light illusionsappear to vision.

Superior Smell: Character has a superior sense of smelland gains +30 to all olfactory perception maneuvers.

SSSSSPELLPELLPELLPELLPELL N N N N NOTESOTESOTESOTESOTES

A number of the spells presented in this issue requirea few additional notes regarding how they may or shouldwork. This section will present those notes to you in theorder in which the lists appear.

FUTURE VISIONS

Intuitions: These spells show the caster the most probablecourse of events based on a single action taken by thecaster. The future is not laid out in a set pattern, andas the caster, and those around him deviate from thevision, the events will also deviate accordingly.

Dreams: The dreams given by these spells are filled withsymbolism and metaphors. GMs are encouraged tonever give a straight answer through the dreamsgranted by the various dream spells. But he shouldalso be sure to not give false information either.Example: Rob’s character Khale has decided toemploy a Dream spell to determine whether heshould take the next leg of his journey by sea or ifhe should purchase a horse and go by the overlandroute. Khale decides to cast the Dream spell andtry to get a little bit of insight.

That night Khale dreams of a sea-birdperched on a piece of driftwood that is washed upon a beach underneath an extremely stormy sky.

Upon waking, Khale realizes that the dream wasnot the definitive answer that he was seeking, so, sincehe didn’t like that stormy sky, he purchases a horse forthe overland trip. Meanwhile, Khale’s player, Rob,mutters under his breath about double-dealing GMs.

MIND VISIONS

Question: Since the questions are asked and answeredmentally, the caster does not need to know thelanguage of the target.

PAST VISIONS

Vision Behind: When these spells are cast, the caster’svision starts are the most extreme range of the spell(i.e. a 5th level caster casting Vision Behind II spell (10minutes per level) will have his vision begin 50 minutesin the past). The caster may then view the eventsshown by the vision in the order that they occurred, atthe speed in which they occurred. The spell, VisionGuide, allows for scanning for “significant events”within the vision range, but not scanning in themanner of watching a movie on fast forward.

The caster is limited by his normal visualfaculties and he sees things in the vision as he wouldhave seen them if he were present at the time thatthey took place. If the caster has Nightvision, he willsee the vision as if he had Nightvision. The VisionBehind spells will not allow the caster to cast spellsupon himself to give better visual capabilities (i.e. if

the caster does not have Darkvision, then casting aspell that gives Darkvision will not allow the caster tosee as if he had Darkvision during a Vision Behind).

SENSE THROUGH OTHERS

Animal Sight: These spells, along with the Animal Senseand the Sight Merge spells, allows the caster to usethe senses of the target. While they are using thetarget’s senses, their own senses are effectively non-existent and thus they will have no clue regardingwhat is happening at their present location,depending upon what senses they are using.

TRUE PERCEPTION

Presence: This spell tells the caster what presences arewithin the radius of the spell. It does not say wherethey are within the radius.

The dot (or small circle) next to the spell’s nameon the table means that the spell may be cast with noexpenditure of Power Points.

Long Ear: When using this spell, the caster’s point ofhearing is moved. This means that he loses hishearing where his body is.

TRUE SIGHT

Watch/Long Eye: These spells move the caster’s point ofvision. This means that he loses his sight at thelocation where his body is.


TRANSFERRING WAYS

bleeding of 5 hits/rnd, and a serious skull fracture.The highest level healing spell required is SkullRepair True; so, Rana places the severed hand atRinglin’s wrist, holds it in place, puts their hand onRinglin’s head, and casts a single 10th levelTransferal (costs 10 PP). At the rate of one roundper wound, each of Ringlin’s wounds is transferredto Rana. Ringlin is subsequently in perfect health.Rana’s body immediately casts a 10th level SkullRepair True (10 PP) and 2 Cut Repair III spells tostop the bleeding, (2x3rd lvl = 6 PPs). Rana nowhas 14 PPs left: insufficient to completely repair thesevered wrist (Rana’s wrist is not actually severed,but it is completely useless until healed). She caststwo of the necessary four Joining spells: Blood andMuscle (2x7th lvl = 14 PP). Rana has no PPs leftand lapses into a regenerative coma until sheregenerates their PPs after eight hours. Then,Rana’s body casts the remaining two Joining spells,the fracture and muscle repairs necessary, and theconcussion relief spells. She then awakens, and ishealed, but is still subject to the recovery timeincurred by the spells.

This entire list is devoted tothe transfer to the Healer ofwounds inflicted on another; there-maining five Base Lists devotedto healing wounds on the Healer’sown body. This list has no specificspells, rather its use is determinedby the other five lists.

In order to transfer anynumber of wounds from a singletarget, the Healer must ascertainthe single most serious wound(meas-ured by the highest levelspell needed to heal it); then theycasts one Transferal spell of alevel corresponding to thathighest level healing spell.

Note: Under the spellacquisition rules forRolemaster, a caster may notcast a spell of a higher levelthan that to which he knowsthe list. This means that eventhough this list does not haveany specific spells, the casteris still required to learn ranksin the Transferring Ways list(if using the RMX spellacquisition rules) or make picks in this list (ifusing the core RMC spell acquisition rules).

At the caster’s discretion, all other wounds are alsotransferred to the Healer at a rate of one per round(they may not necessarily wish to absorb all of thetargets wounds at once and perhaps incapacitatehimself). Note that the Healer is able to transferwounds up to their level in severity even if they does notpossess the necessary spell list(s) to heal the damage.

Note that all Healer Base lists (except this one) aresubconscious, and the Healer’s body will automaticallyexpend points to heal their wounds as long as they isstill alive. If the Healer has insufficient power points toheal their wounds, they slip into a coma andregenerates their full PPs every eight hours until alltheir wounds are healed.

Example: Rana the Healer is 10th level, andbecause of a superior statistic and a x2 powermultiplier, has 40 power points. Ringlin the Fighterhas just suffered: a severed hand, a damaged arm(two severed muscles and a fracture), 80 hits,

Before we get into any of the specific options for spellcasters that we will be presenting in this issue, let’s firstrecap the core rules regarding what types of lists a castermay learn and to what level that list may be learned. Wewill then, over the course of the issue, give you a few moreoptions that can expand things in your game regardingspells and certain professions.

These rules presume that you have and are usingRMC Spell Law. The level maximums for the varioustypes of list come into play only when you are using thefull lists from RMC Spell Law as the spell lists in RMXonly go to 10th level.

PURE SPELL USERS

Pure spell users can have up to 10 Base lists, the sixgiven for their profession and 4 other lists. It isrecommended that these 4 additional Base Lists beselected from the Open and Closed lists of the caster’sown realm, but any actual restrictions are left up to theGM. He may learn these Base lists to 50th level. A Purespell caster may learn any Open or Closed spell list fromhis realm up to 20th level.

HYBRID SPELL USERS

Hybrid spell casters only have 6 Base lists, thoseprovided by the profession itself, and as always, Base listsmay be learned to 50th level. However, the Hybrid casterbelongs to 2 different realms of magic, and this allowsthem to learn Open and Closed spell lists from bothrealms up to a maximum of 10th level.

SEMI SPELL USERS

Semi spell users only gain 5 Base Lists from theirprofessions. And as always, these may be learned to 50thlevel. A Semi spell user may learn Open lists from theirrealm to 10th level, but they are not allowed to learn anyClosed Lists at all.

NON SPELL USERS

Non spell users must select a realm at the time ofcharacter creation. These characters have no Base lists, andmay only learn Open lists from their realm to 5th level.

EXISTING OPTIONS

In the core RMC Spell Law, there exist 2 options forexpanding what lists may be learned by a spell caster, andwhat level the lists may be learned to. In both options, theDP costs of spell list acquisition beyond the normallyallowed bounds are increased. These 2 options also grantaccess to spell lists and portions of spell lists that may notnormally be learned. In both cases, the expansions are forall types of casters. I think that it is important to note thatboth of these options also make all spell casters morepowerful overall.

In Express Additions #4, you are given an option to allowsemi spell users to select a sixth Base spell list, which wouldmake their number of base lists equivalent to semi spell usesfound in Rolemaster Fantasy Roleplaying (RMFRP). Thisoption was included to make it easier to convert professionsfrom one version of the game to the other.

Under this option, Semi spell users will get a slightlywider selection of spells overall by gaining an ‘A’ pick forClosed spells of their realm. This will allow them to learnthe Closed lists from their realm to 5th level.

This option grants the Semi spell users a largerversatility without it being a major increase in thepotential power level overall.

The core rules allow for a Pure spell user to select 4additional lists to be Base lists for their profession. Thisallows the character to learn those lists beyond 20th level.The core rules put no restrictions on this, though they dorecommend that only Open and Closed lists from thecharacter’s realm be allowed to be selected.

Under this option, all Pure users may only select theiradditional Base lists from among the Open and Closedlists of their realm unless they get special permission fromthe GM to select one of the Base lists of anotherprofession from the same realm. However, Pure spellusers should never be allowed to select lists from otherrealms as Base lists.


The Cleric, on the other hand, instead of beingallowed 10 Base lists is only allowed to have 8 Base lists.He is also allowed to select any Open, Closed, or Base listfrom the Channeling, Essence, or Mentalism realms as aBase list. The catch is that the lists selected must be able tobe associated to the deity that the Cleric worships, andthe GM has to approve any list selected as a Base list. TheCleric Base lists, with the exception of Life Mastery, arealways acceptable as a choice for a Base list.

Note: Life Mastery may only be selected by aCleric who worships a deity that is associatedwith death, life and/or rebirth.

The player must select and/or identify which 8 listswill be Base lists for his Cleric prior to character creation.He is not required to learn all of the lists at once; they justneed to be selected/set before the character begins play. Allselected Base lists are treated as Channeling spells in allrespects, regardless of what profession they cam from.

Example: Bob is creating a Cleric that worshipsTargus, the God of the Sea and of Storms. For his8 Base lists he selects Channels (Cleric Base),Communal Ways (Cleric Base), Protections(Cleric Base), Holy Vision (Astrologer Base),Starlights (Astrologer Base), Starsense (Astrologerbase), Water Law (Magician Base), and WindLaw (Magician Base).

The way that level bonuses currently work, whenevera character picks up a new skill that is covered by a levelbonus, they get the full bonus immediately. This meansthat a 20th level Fighter who has 1 rank in a weaponautomatically has a +65 bonus under the core rulesbefore stat bonuses are added.

Some people believe that this is too powerful, that itcan give a huge bonus for little investment. This option isfor those individuals. It breaks down the level bonus thatcould be had at the level that 100 skill ranks could beattained, and gives that as a level bonus per rank(rounded to nearest whole number).

The table, Rank Based Level Bonuses, shows whatlevel bonus should be applied to a skill based on thenumber of ranks you have in the skill and the level ofbonus that the skill receives.

Since neither of the optional Level Bonus rules fromRMC Character Law have bonuses higher than thosefound in the core rules, that allow this table and this optionto be used with the core rules and either of the options.
