|Just a few questions, on which I would be most grateful for any comments:
|
|I think I'm right on this already, but sustaining a spell does not require
|LOS to be sustained as well, does it?

Nope.

|Does the +2 target modifier for sustaining a spell apply to the Drain
|test for that spell?

No. Only subsequent ones.

|Is it possible for someone to do Ritual Sorcery on his/her own?

Yes. It takes the same length of time, you get reduced effect, but you do
get some bonuses. (Including the ability to withold dice so the spell will
sustain itself for a while....)

|Detect Spells, eg. Detect Life, do they simply give a result of "yes
|there is life in the target area" or is positional information available
|as well - I'd assumed that the GM should perhaps say something along the
|lines of "Yes, there's two lifeforms about 10 metres to your right and
|one about 5 meters below you" or perhaps draw the player a little circle
|with dots for any 'blips' that show up. The same rules apply to Detect
|Life, Guns, Enemies, Trolls, whatever, correct?

I would say that the more successes you get on the spell, the more info you
gain.
1 Success. Yes, the is an (Enter whatever here) within range.
2 Successes. Yes, and he's ....>There.
3 Successes. Yes, he's there and walking in this direction.
4 Successes. Oh, and he's wearing spotted pink underwear. :)

|Can you use an expendable fetish for one which requires a reusable one?

I'm not too sure. I don't think so.....

|And whilst I'm asking, does anyone know of ay supplements that might
|allow a sorcerer to somehow learn astral perception (LOTS of initiation,
|perhaps?), 'official' FASA or otherwise. I fully deny all allegations of
|munchkinism ;-)

Unfortunately, one of the FASA rules states that sorceror and conjuror
adepts CANNOT initiate *because* they can't assence.
Physical Adepts can because the power is available for them, even if they
don't have it yet.
