This came up last game, and I wasn't sure what the official answer would be. If I was casting a Force 4 Levitate at a 600kg object (Threshold 3), and I achieved 4 successes, would the object move at Force*Net Hits or Force*Net Hits over Threshold.
If its the former, the slowest you can move a Threshold 3 object is Force*3 (since you can't even pick it up without getting 3 successes), in the latter you can pick up an object and be unable to move it (no successes over Threshold 3 would be Force*0 net hits). Either way bugs me a little. I'm considering making it Threshold=1 net hit, and having extra successes add in on top of that, but I am unsure if that would be unnecessarily limiting. (But it still seems odd for a character to say, "Jeez, 1200kg. I don't know if I can pick it up, but if I can, its going to fly." |
