I'm trying to figure out a few things with indirect illusions, specifically Invisibility. I understand how it works if you target a person: The Sorcery test is TN 4, and it's resisted by Intelligence.
Can you target an object, like a car, with this spell? If so, is the TN still 4, or does it become the Object Resistance of the object? I see that MitS has a specific Vehicle Mask spell, which is +1(S) drain instead of the +1(M) of a normal Physical Mask. That leads me to think that you cannot target a vehicle with Invisibility, and would need a special Vehicular Invisibility spell (probably also +1(S) drain). A slightly different question is how Invisibility works when cast as an area (SR3, p195 - [Indirect Illusion spells] must be cast "around" a person or over an area that is withing the caster's line of sight). If you cast an invisibility spell over an area what becomes invisible? Everything with an aura? Mal-2 |
