Hello,
I have tried my serch-fu and have come up with nothing. This is my first post to this forum and I thank you guys in advance for any assistance.
In 3rd Ed, Under Spell Defense I have read and re-read the section and the following is how I believe the rule works:
It is my understanding that I can take part of my Sorcery Pool (7) and Spell Pool (7) for a total of 14 Dice and allocate any number of them to Spell Defense. Then I choose up to 7 players (including myself) to be protected by my Spell Defense. Should a enemy cast a spell at any one of the protect people, I can choose to use a portion of the Spell Defense Pool to counter the spell.
There is a long time 3rd Ed player in my gaming group who insists this is not how Spell Defense works. He claims that you must Allocate the Spell Defense Dice in the pool to a target and only if that player is targeted does the Spell Defense work.
The mechanics of countering the spell isn't in question, only the Allocation of the Spell Defense Pool. Obviously House Rules win-out regardless of Rules As Written. However, I want to bring this to the GM for a ruleing and before I do, I wanted to make sure I was on solid footing on how the Rule works.
Thank you for your time.
