Hi all. Some friends and I have recently taken up Shadowrun, and this question came up in play. Does a magician need to maintain LOS in order to sustain a spell on a target? We couldn't find a direct answer to this in the book (we only have the main SR3 book). However, I did find that in the critters section, it specifically mentions that critters do *not* need to maintain LOS to sustain a spell, therefore implying that normal magicians do. Therefore, we came up with an on-the-spot house rule that, if LOS were lost, sustained spells would remain in effect for (force) turns, and if the magician were still sustaining the spell when LOS was restored (and (force) turns had not yet elapsed), it would be as if LOS were never lost.
Is there any official word on this? Does this house rule seem reasonable to your SR veterans? Thanks mucho |
