Is there anyone out there who found a better solution ?


We handles it by saying that the staging for drain was by box, rather than
by level. Tends to make the casting of spells more fatiguing. Also,
remember that for every spell being sustained +2 is added to all target
numbers. That combined with our changed to drain tends to leave the
mages with casting fewer spells and using them more intelligently:)

Yep, until players figure out that a mage can use stimpatches up to
rating 4 or so without any measurable risks whatsoever to their MR..
:(
BTW: a properly munchkinized mage almost never gets any drain!!
