When my bear shaman decides he really needs to kill someone fast, he wades into melee and starts passing around Death Touches at force 8. Doing the math on that, it's 2 drain, which can be bought off with my 8 dice of willpower + charisma. Mind you, I don't buy it off, I actually roll, but 1 hit per 4 dice is a good benchmark. My magic is 5, so force 8 is overcasting.
If he takes physical drain from overcasting, does it set off his berserk rage? According to the rules, it's "when you take physical damage in combat," but does that apply to drain. Maybe with emotions running high in a combat situation, a physical drain can set him off. Its been rare for my character to take physical damage so far, so in the situation this came up in, we went with it, but I'm interested in what the DS community thinks :) Dread Polack |
