Agreed... I've played MAGES with lower willpower than that. Admittedly,
they got headaches more often, but hey... :)

The point is, be fair to your GM. A sammy has to have SOME weakness,
else the GM has to throw so much at your party to hurt it that all the
other team members will go down even quicke. My standard rule is "Don't
bother shooting a sammy, don't bother tossing spells at a mage"
