Hi everybody

Well, i have a problem ( kind of ). One of my players has decided that he want
s to design a new(?) spell for his mage ( or his mage wants to design a new spe
ll for himself... Whatever! ).

I would like to hear some opinions about if the spell is too powerfull or if t
here is something that could need a reajustment ( Drain for exemple ? ).
Here goes the spell.


Name: Blast Shout Type: Mana Target: Willpower (R)

Duration: Instant Range: Limited Drain: (F/2)+3 D

Damage: M (stun)

Note on Range: Altough it can be heard as if it was a granade exploding, it onl
y damages those within the limited range ( per the normal rules on SR2 or Grimo
ire 2nd Edition )

To cast the spell the caster must be able to shout ( he can't be gagged, for
exemple ). When the caster casts the spell, his shout increases in volume ( a
lot!!!! ) and becomes something like a sound wave blast.
Those in front of the caster are subject to a knockback/knockdown test ( as
in melee combat, with the force of the spell as the force of the attacker ).
Characters with active sound enhancement systems have the damage level up by
one step ( moderate gets serious, etc... ), except if they have an active dampe
r.
This spell can do NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE!! ( Directly on the condition monitor ..
. ). If the caster gets enough success to do physical damage, the target must
rool his body with the T.N. depending on the damage (magic pool can assist on
this test, but must be alocated separatly):

DAMAGE T.N.
Light 3
Moderate 4
Serious 6
Deadly 9

If the character doesn't gets a single sucesse, then he gets deff. If a single
success is rolled then there are no side effects.



REMEMBER THAT THE SPELL DOES NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE!!!! (I'm not shouting.)


I would like some opinions

P.S.- Tell me if you have any doubts regarding anything related to the spell.
