Yeah - that's why my GM invented a new rule: Every time you cast a
spell that is very probable to cause you physical pain, you have to
make a Willpower-6 Test to do so.
My Shaman loves conjuring Force 9 Nature Spirits - which ALWAYS causes
him a Serious Wound when doing so. He does that to be able to counter
the Force 14 Elementals our GM sometimes gives to our enemies... they
easily call 4 or 5 of them and all we got is a Force 9 Nature Spirit -
and that is a bit munchkinous already... I think a lot of Munchkins
just started as usual roleplayers and they got GMs where they NEEDED
to max out their characters to stay alive.

Bye...
Georg
