When Maggie the Mage throws a Manabolt on Sam the Sammie, how often can he roll Willpower?
a) Once to resist the spell and get some hits to lower the net hits Maggie got at casting the spell b) Twice: first Willpower to resist the spell and a second time with Body to soak the damage? c) Other number |
