Here's something that came up in our game this evening: the following points about manifest spirits:
  • Beast spirits have, as an optional power, Natural Weapon, which grants the spirit a DV of (Force)P. Not every spirit has this. This suggests that the damage a materialized spirit does is (Str/2)S, just like everything else.
  • The list of magical attacks under Immunity (to Normal Weapons) includes critter powers, but not spirit attacks. This suggests that in a fight between a Spirit of Beasts and a Spirit of Man (which is what happened), when both are materialized, the Spirit of Beasts had Natural Weapon, and so could ignore the other spirit's Immunity to Normal Weapons, and the Spirit of Man was only causing (Str/2)S damage.
  • In any case, the Spirit of Man had the option of attacking in astral combat, since materialized spirits are dual-natured.
[edit] manifest -> materialized. Duh.
