Can an astrally projecting (I'm not talking astral perception, I'm talking '5km away body and yet here astrally') mage cast mana combat spells at mundane people? I mean, he can see their auras, so why not?
I gathered from the rulebook (SR4a) that they can. If this is indeed true, how would you deal with this: you have a small group of PCs that are mundane and being under attack by an astrally projecting mage. I mean the mage can hurl spells at them at any time and what can they do? No cover is good since astrally projecting guys can travel through walls (checked in the rulebook) so what would you do? Is a call to a friendly mage for protection the only way out of this? I mean if you got not friendly mage, this is a quick and easy way to kill your PCs, should you need to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Am I right here? Does spellcasting (mana spell of course) against mundane targets work during astral travels? |
