Are there clearer rules out there for sustaining spells?
I can't find anything in the book that says when a sustained spell is forcibly broken. Nothing about range, line of sight, or duration. The only thing i can find is: "Sustained spells last for as long as the magician concentrates on them." Here is an exaggeration: Gimpy the Gunbunny has a group of 3 people. Himself and 2 mages. The first mage, Energizer, casts Combat Sense, Detect Enemies and Mindlink on Gimpy. The second mage, Duracell, casts Increase Reflexes, Increase Agility and Improved Invisibility on Gimpy. This puts both mages at a -6 for everything they do, but they aren't planning on doing anything. They plan on waiting in their apartment, safely out of harms way. Gimpy then moves to Mexico to join a higher caliber group of shadowrunners, making sure to send Energizer and Duracell each a check for 3,000nuyen every month. Also, a slightly related problem: It seems like there is no penalty for casting some spells at force 1 every time, just to avoid drain. Most spells are resisted Spellcasting + Magic hits with Willpower + Counterspelling. For example, Analyze Truth doesn't mention Force at all, other than the drain value. It only requires 1 net hit on your spellcasting test. At Force 1 the drain is 1, and a caster with a magic of 4 can buy the one hit necessary, and can cast it for free, whenever he feels like it. |
