Subject: Toxics


Toxic elementals/spirits seem to have been one of the casualties of the change
To 2ND-ed. In several 1st ed adventures, toxic elementals (as shown in the
guide to north american paranormal animals) turn up, but what do you do to
change these to 2nd-ed? In the good old grimmy two it doesn't reffer to
toxic "elementals" but calls them toxic "spirits", If these spirits
are based
on shamanic nature spirits, then
A> They can't attack beings physicaly ( n.b. I'm not sure of this nature spirits
don't have a listed damage code for physical attacks so I assume they can't)
b> All thoses niftly powers such as corosive secreasions are obsolete.


If you read the secrets of power trilogy then some of the past questions
to this list are answered
For instance in the socond book One of the druid dudes has a bulet barrier, or
maybe a normal barrier cast on him which extended only about half a foot away
from him. This means that personal barrier spells surround the mage quiet
closely.
This makes sense becuase I can't see the point of a blade barrier which does
anything else! whats the point of having the barrier 6meters away if a sam
is choping into you with a katana?

Though of couse I don't think the books can realy be said to reflect the system
two well as after all a Vindicator mini guncan't touch a lesser wester dragon
as it has power 7 and the worm has armour 8! A cording to the rules amendment
When considering busts and full auto against barriers you take the power
before modifing it for the burst.
Some thing to think about eh.


Being a good old brit, I may be behind on some of the laters SR products in the
states can anyone head me some gossip on new stuff.

Does anyone in england know how you can get KA.GE the SR magazine???

Tacoma Joe, the wicked sorcery adept whos got more quickened spells than a
street sam has bullet scars!
