It really is moot because the text I quoted above specifically outlines the Pool that is split.
In one of the only other places where the rules address the splitting of Dice Pools, they have this to say ...
Seems like a fitting precedent in place of any other ruling on the matter. |

I am kinda confused by the shock frills, I've seen them but never used them. Aren't they only at the cuff's of the sleeve?

Open your book. I'd say they're all over. |

Thanks Tarantula. This looks like something my Troll merc would like to add to his collection.

if SOMEONE gets the drop on ANYONE . . the latter is generally toast in SR . . and using improved invisibility does squat against things like ultra sound and radar vision enhancement or other such stuff . . |

I applaud him taking such a significant limitation to a PC (touch spells only). Normal mages have a lot more options to get the drop on someone. They could be behind a parked car's one-way glass, or looking out a third-story window, or be a nondescipt stranger in the middle of a crowd. All of a sudden, you're resisting a manabolt, and you don't even know where it's coming from...

Quickened armor spell? As long as you take any damage from the shock, you're likely going to drop incapacitated. (Body + Will (3) test to not be incapacitated). But if the spell is Quickened then even if they are incapacitated it remains up. From how it sounds in the book, disrupting a Quickened spell only happens if you lose them to a barrier or they are dispelled (which is pretty hard for a high force spell) |

i think this whole concept would be much more interesting if your willpower decrease was followed by some manipulation spell. making an instakill machine with 500 bps isn't hard really and you would be just as deadly when only using the deathtouch.

Why do you applaud making a character weaker? ~J You're asking me what I was thinking 4 months ago? Not really sure, now. Probably not the "roleplaying", since I don't traditionally go for the "gimping your character is roleplaying" school of thought. Plus, this wasn't a character background thread, but more of a proposed tactic thread - it's about as much of a roleplaying thread as those "How much armor can I give my troll tank?" threads. Maybe I was applauding him for trying to think up some new tactics. I like these "concept" discussions - everyone dissects the tactic/build/whatever, and by the end, either all of its flaws are exposed, or people find the best way to make it work. Or maybe I was being a bit tongue in cheek, pointing out that while this character is sneaking up invisibly, other mages can be inobtrusive much more easily, and don't have to get into a sammie's melee range. I honestly don't remember, though. |
