published somewhere and I just haven't seen it.
Anyway, last night my group ran into a situation where a ward set up by a
shaman was blocking their sorcerer from astrally perceiving an area. In the
course of the run they whacked the shaman who set up the ward and the
question as to what happens to the ward came up. So, what does happen to a
ward when the wizard who sets it up dies? My ruling was that the ward
sticks around because the description of an astral ward seems to imply that
it lasts for a certain time and that's that. Was I wrong?
Second issues is this: One of the players in my group is a sorcerer and
he's got a general spell focus. Nothing special there. The trouble is that
he's put the thing in an internal compartment (the cyber-gizmo) so it's not
visible on the astral and therefore nobody can attack (and destroy) the
focus. His logic is that since it's internal, his own aura "disguises" the
focus's aura. In a way it makes sense to me, but I'm not sure about how
that would work. Any opinions from you guys? If it is legal, does anybody
have thoughts on how I might destroy the focus?
Thanks!
