Yeah, you're right - I think I was remembering the earlier editions' rule there.
Standard drain rules apply. |

Drain is rounded up. Also, Stunbolt does (F/2)-1 Drain, so a force 10 Stunbolt does 4P Drain. True, this is still not difficult to soak, but the chance of being damaged by the drain is present.

I though like most think drain rounded in favor so it rounds down?

Drain rounds down. BBB, pg 195
"Drain is variable, based on the spell’s Force ÷ 2, rounded down, and modified by Drain modifiers appropriate to each spell." |

A green forum where we recycle threads!
I love this place! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Could it be that stun was made a bit better in the hopes that the Knights of the Dinner Table might actually stun NPC and gazebos (that issue was so funny I peed myself) instead of bringing out the tac nukes?

You are right, my mistake. I just looked at the first description of Drain in the Awakened World chapter, where it doesnt specify the rounding, and assumed it would be rounded up. Sorry bout that. |

No worries. It's kind of nice when the obnoxious degree of specificity I have can do someone some good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
