Some really nit-picking magic questions came up tonight... Just thought
I'd share them with all and sundry ;)

(1) Can a magician summon a spirit in Astral Space?
(Alright, not quite so nit-picking. Still, although game balance says
no, why not? Particularly for shamans, as the section of Astral Space
is in the same domain as the piece of real space.)

(2) How many times can you cast Treat on one wound?
(I never liked the 'only one heal allowed' rule. I applied a +2
escalating TN modifier, but it's not exactly an elegant solution...)

(3) What Domains to cars fall into? Assuming that they are not in whatever
domain they're currently in (City for streets, Hearth for garage, etc), do
they have distinct sub-domains? Could a city sprit, even if it couldn't
enter the car, rip the roof off and snatch someone out? I see a parallel
here to the 'closed top vehicles protect from magic' rule (and it's
because of rules titles like that that Steve writes for FASA and I don't
:]) Further, what about RVs which people live in? Do they get a hearth
sprit? What about caravans?

Sorry. Told you it was nit-picking, but my players were trying to take
their minds off the fact that they got shot up (badly) by a bunch of
sub-zero essence, non cybermantic hellions (basically, just meat puppets
remote controlled by riggers and with no living spirit ;) Boy, was the
mage with stun bolt surprised ;).

And, in case I don't have time to check my e-mail tomorrow, I will shortly
have to go no-mail as my father is too stingy to install e-mail at home.
If I don't get the chance again, Merry Christmas to everyone & I'll see
you when I return to Uni in the new year.
