>>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
>>only damages those within the limited range ( per the normal rules on SR2 or
>>Grimoire 2nd Edition )
This is a combat spell so the range is how far away the target point can be,
but the area of effect is either one target (if not an area effect spell) or
Magic Rating meters radius (if area effect).
>>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.
This is Shadowrun not AD&D. All that is need to cast the spell is for the mage
to cast the spell.
>>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 ).
That would be an extra effect adding to the drain code unless the spell uses
elemental effect blast.
>>Characters with active sound enhancement systems have the damage level up by
>>one step ( moderate gets serious, etc... ), except if they have an active
>>damper.
More for the drain code.
>>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 roll his body with the T.N. depending on the damage (magic pool can
>>assist on this test, but must be alocated separatly):
I assume you mean the spell cause stun damage only. Unfortunately damage
overflow cannot be stopped. The deafness save is very unusual. Look at the
Thunderclap spell for a better way to do it.
>> 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.
IMHO, you friend is looking for the Thunderclap spell on Grimoire Page 132 or
an area effect verison of it. However if you want me to work up a drain code
for the spell above, it would be not problem.
