So why would someone ever try to banish a bound spirit? Even an unbound one would be scary to get rid of.
Allow me to explain: Mage with 5 banishing and 6 magic vs Force 5 bound spirit with a caster with magic of 5. so 11 vs 10 dice. Lets say the spirit owes 4 tasks. Round 1: mage gets 4 successes vs spirit's 3 (1 net success, down to 3 tasks) Mage now resists 6 drain. Lets say he has a 5 will and 5 logic, so 10 dice. Lets say he roles 3 successes. He takes 3 damage (and is now minus 1 die) Round 2: Mage gets 3 vs spirit's 3 (0 net successes) Mage now resists 6 drain. He gets 3 successes. Mage takes 3 damage. And is now at -2 At this point the mage is now at a disadvantage in his dice pool. The fight is not looking good for him. That is without taking into consideration hat the spirit has his own edge to spend in this encounter, and without having the spirit actually attacking the mage. Let alone the summoner of the spirit. I'm hoping that I'm doing the math wrong, or that I miss read the rules. I really don't want banishing to be completely worthless. Please someone, correct me if I'm wrong. |
