Trying to figure out how magic attacks work, and am wondering if I'm missing a step. SR4a pp. 183-184 stat that the attack is an opposed roll between the casters Spellcasting+Magic vs. the defender's Body or Will (as appropriate). Net successes are then added to the base damage. The question, though, is: does the defender then get to roll body or will again to "soak" the damage, like the victim of a gun shot gets to roll armor+body after the to-hit roll, or is the damage just applied directly.
So if I had a spell with base damage 5S, and the caster got one net success, the DV would be 6S. Does the defender just take six boxes of stun damage, or does he now get to roll Will to resist some of it? Thanks. |
