Okay, so a vampire casts a force 6 manaball. If he has magic 6 plus 6 spellcasting he rolls 12 dice. I can't dodge and I can only resist with my 3 willpower? When it hits I just take 8 boxes of damage? Is it really that simple?
Other than counterspelling (a whopping 4 more dice), what can be done to live through that? They could also bump it up to force 12 and kill everyone with even one more success. |
