Hey, on Shadowrun: Denver, we had a question come up tonight. I quote:

QUOTE (Ash @ SR:Denver MUSH)
Odd question. If a spell drain level goes above D by its modifiers, do you have to roll an extra 2 successes past that point to lower it in resist, or is D the maximum, meaning you never need more than 8 successes on a drain resistance to take no drain?

The other option I've seen supported comes from this line in MitS:
QUOTE (p. 54 Drain Code)
If the modifiers increase the Drain Level to Deadly, any additional Drain Level modifiers increase the the Drain Power by +2.


So, that 5D fireball would have a drain of 5D (5/2=2; +1; +2 to not go above deadly damage level) if I remember by drain formula correctly.

Along those lines, I once tried creating the ultimate elemental manipulation. Extended area of effect, and every elemental type. Came out to something like (+1)+11, so the drain was 18D when cast at 1L.
