In your game.
We've had this discussion before, but I feel compelled to point out that 6
is the maximum willpower for 3 races, and the other two races have a
maximum of 5 and 7.
Therefore... a willpower of 6 would not be 'standard', but closer to
'exceptional', or 'HolyShit!'
And don't forget, in that 'fraction of a second', the sammy likely acts at
least once before the mage does.
