No, not the lottery. :)
It dawned on me the other day just how powerful this spell is, especially if cast against an area that doesn't have spell defense up. Take a starting mage with 6-6-6 for Sorcery-spell pool-willpower Cast powerball at 1D using 12 dice Drain is 3D, with 6 dice usually taking a moderate stun. With 12 dice, a Body 4 person will likely be dead- okay so far. But with 12 dice, the mage will on average roll at least one 10 which means *every* object within the area of effect takes deadly damage. No resistance roll. Gone. Every gun, grenade, knife, piece of armor, sidewalk, drone, deck, whatever! :eek: Perhaps even cyberware if you rule that that gets a separate save from the Body of the person with the cyber. Is this how you folks play it? |
