In Street Magic (pp. 164), under the descriptions of the Blast elemental effect, it talks about Force.
How do you determine the Force of the Elemental Strike (Blast) when an adept uses the power? Am I missing a reference somewhere? Page numbers greatly appreciated. P.S. I did a search on this topic (several variations and several times) and nothing came up, so if I missed it somehow a link to the thread discussing this issue is just as good. |

Generally, for Adepts, Force = Magic is considered the rule of thumb.

RE: the search,
Don't forget to expand the timespan over which the system searches. It defaults to threads in the last 30 days, but if you switch it to searching for threads for the entire life span of the forum, you're likely to find more information. |

For magician's way adepts, which magic score would be used to determine force? If my adept had Magic 5, with 2 points sunk into magical power and 3 points in the standard physical adept stuff, would the force of his elemental strike be 2, 3, or 5? |

That's really a judgment call for the GM, since it's not spelled out anywhere, but I'd use the total Magic rating.

I'd use the split total. With only the magic socre giving you Power Points applicable to durations (or other stats) of Adept powers.

What number is used to determine what spell Forces count as overcasting? (I actually can't remember.) If it uses the total rating, I would do the same for something like this. If it uses the split rating, then likewise.

I´d still use the full rating for balance purposes. Augmented magicians have it better anyway.
I see magical power as just another power, albeit with limited access. No reason to limit other powers because of that. Edit: Seems my dislike for the FAQ increases. |
