So here's a theory...
1. NPCs usually have 1 damage track, stun is the same as physical damage. 2. Direct spells work better on living targets, indirect spells work better on non-living targets. 3. Willpower is generally capped lower than Body. 4. Direct stun spells are only resisted with willpower and ignore armor...so why ever use Shatter, PowerBall, Manaball... Thoughts? |
