Confusion and complexity.
imo the rules for spell casting remain a glaring weakness in rolemaster.
RMSS uses classI-III spells which is very restrictive at low levels and even at slightly higher levels.
has anyone created some house rules for spells to simplify the casting of them?

I had a house rule in RM2 that the caster's stat for the realm (e.g. Empathy for Essence) was applied to any ESF rolls. This made it easier and faster to cast spells in general.

RMU essentially just does away with the classes of spells and allows characters to cast spells of their own level or less without preparation. Spells higher than the caster's level still require preparation or suffer a penalty. I now prefer this to my old houserule way of doing it in RM2.

nice. im going to use this as well.
