Re: Additional Targets in Spellcasting

Can the original target be chosen as the additional target? I can’t see why when a spell generates multiple Darts/Daggers/Bolts why they cannot all be directed at one target. To answer my own question, I can't see a metaphysical reason in the spell casting rules why weaving a spell to send create m...

Re: [ED4] Astral Sense and Astral Targeting

If you are aware somebody is there --- typically with normal vision, but at GM discretion awareness through other methods may apply -- then you can astrally sense them with a single action. The level of astral corruption acts as a modifier to their MD. Both Awareness and Astral Sight are simple act...

Re: Additional Targets in Spellcasting

To further muddy this conversation, if you CAN choose the same target as the additional target, does Mind Dagger's PD reduction stack, or do they only get a -2? You can take one variable out this. Two wizards could have cast Mind Dagger on the same target. Then the penalties are coming from two sep...

Additional Targets in Spellcasting

Since the current discussion topics are on spell casting, I'll add another to the mix which the answers may apply to the other topics. I have some other questions on spells which have the option for additional targets. Earth Darts / Ephemeral Bolt / Spirit Dart / Mind Dagger all have the option to w...

Re: Willforce strain and aoe or multi-targets

Ok then, refer back to this statement I did not do the research to look for a spell which requires a magaican to make separate effect test. If one exist then this stipulation for Willforce would apply to that spell. Flame Flash does not required separate effect tests. One use of Willforce applies ea...

Re: Willforce strain and aoe or multi-targets

First I would have to say any answer given for the 3rd edition does not automatically apply to the 4th. These are separate. Secondly, Willforce says: If a spell requires multiple Effect tests, the adept can choose which tests receive the benefit of this talent at the time he makes the test. Step 4 o...

Re: [ED4] Astral Sense and Astral Targeting

Perhaps some other thing might obscure astral sight. Astral Interference The adept increases the local astral background interference to make spellcasting more difficult.... All Spellcasting tests made inside the area, or that target someone in the area, suffer a -2 penalty per success for Rank rou...

Re: [ED4] Astral Sense and Astral Targeting

There are definitely many interpretations of the rules. I sometimes wonder if the vagueness of language is intentional. I personally feel that language chosen for any game rules should be clearly defined. I think that since this is now the fourth iteration of these rules, too many hands went into th...

Re: [ED4] Astral Sense and Astral Targeting

Cover applies to any attack on a target. Partial Cover applies to both Physical and Mystic Defense. I don't see how "seeing" with your eyes versus "seeing" with your astral sensing method changes how the Astral Arc is connected. It's the same effect, if you beat the opponent's M...

Re: [ED4] Astral Sense and Astral Targeting

Regarding the use of the talent Stealthy Stride (explicitly not the skill), it does use illusion magic as part of its function. While it's not specifically called out, it's the intention for the Stealthy Stride talent (again, not the skill) to be effective against Astral Sight. Hunh. Is that suppor...
