[Glorantha] Re: Oh no its a whirlvish!!

Subject: [Glorantha] RQ2 melee rounds vs spirit combat rounds

I have a vague memory of when I used to play RQ2 on a regular basis,
that "rounds" of spirit combat were faster than rounds of melee to the
tune of about 10:1. Anyone know if this is right?

  Rob:
  Sounds right. You either overcome the guys magic resistance and he takes a hit, or not. With combat you attack he parries, and if he is still functional he hits you and you get to parry too. This combat iteration could run ad nauseum!!
   
  Malk:
The reason I ask is because now I'm running a game, one of my players
got into a scrap with a whirlvish, which does physical combat and spirit
combat simultaneously. I gave the whirlvish one of each type of attack
per round, which is what the creature stats seemed to indicate, but
thought later that if the 10:1 ratio applied the encounter should have
been very different.

  Rob: 
  When I ran a whirlvish the spirit attack and physical attack were simultaneous! What fun! Whirlvishs' are to be feared for sure.
   
  Seasonal regards
