A curious potential option we discovered, testing possibilities in the Infiltration Challenge:
Does this mean that if an astrally projecting character is trapped by FAB etc., "all" they have to do is cast an appropriately levelled Stunbolt on themself (even if drain is physical damage) to escape? (Might they even be able to drop their own resistance to the spell for the purpose?) Yes, the consequences can be nasty: physical damage + possible Magic loss. Certain death is nastier. At least that way they're almost certain to survive, albeit with D-level stun and probably physical damage. (You did have a team member guarding the body of the projecting magician?) |
