>_> on the control thoughts issue: Guess why all my chars have willpower 6 and magic resistance (the edge) 4?<br/>Yeah. bad experience with shamans and magicians. And nothing's more fun than having the GM go "WHA?" when you roll 10 dice to soak a manaball. ^_^<br/>Well, almost. I say that 25S damage or using 18 dice to soak damage, sans combat pool, tops it.
