Just a quickie... though a bit of a noob question... even though I have been playing 3rd ed SR for years, its been a LONG time since I have played a mage and conjured elementals. Soo... my question:
If I conjure a force 8 elemental and I have Conjuring 6, Willpower 6 and Charisma 5 do I take 4S or 8S drain - also is the drain physical or stun? Thanks, Myst |

No one can answer the last part of your question, because you've left off your Magic rating. You take 8S, since Power = Force and the elemental's Force is greater than your Charisma but less than 1.5 of it.

ops. Magic rating 6
As for power i was not sure if you half the power like you do with spells (seemed a bit silly if you did though) |

It's going to be Physical. You might want to just review the Conjuring section, it's pretty short and will clear up these sorts of questions.

I did a little but with a brief review I couldnt spot about whether it was physical or stun (as the specifies only Stun).
Thanks for the quick replies though :grinbig: |

Spirits follow the rule (Force > Magic) <-> Physical Drain, similar to other drain codes (though with spells it's only (Force > Magic) -> Physical Drain). This is spelled out, IIRC, on the page right after the table giving the drain damage level.
