I couldn't find any threads already discussing this, but I recently discovered that Street Magic errata v 1.4.1. (which has been out since February) changed Mana Static, such that "background count rises at a rate of 1 per Combat Turn up to the Force of the spell."
Does this mean that Mana Static can no longer be used to neuter spirits or opposing mages? Secondly, I thought that Mana Static only generates a BC with a rating equal to the hits on the spellcasting test. So which is it? Hits or Force? |
