Actually I don't think it'll help much :/
"The being cannot be killed by wounds except when the damage injures the
spine or brain. Check for this type of damage whenever the being takes a
deadly wound or its cumulative wounds take it down. Roll 1D6. A result
of 1 indicates the being is indeed dead. Otherwise, wounds still hurt
the being, giving penalties to actions as for normal critters, but if the
wounds do not cause dead, the wounds vanish at the beginning of the next
Combat Turn.
Damage from weapons that cause massive tissue damage (fire, explosion,
ans so on) will also kill a 1D6 die roll result of 1 or 2." pg 219

It's never expilcitly stated but when a mage astrally projects his
conciousness is with his aura and vice versa... none of his aura is with
his body (well there is that little itty bitty thread ... kind of like a
lifeline but AFAIK / IIRC, that's how it is :)

Crimminy, quite picking on me ;) But seriously, as soon as Dem 3 posted
what did Loche 7 do? He posted pleading with the list to tell Dem 3 he
was sick so he'd shut up ... Badgering GMs ticks me off, so sue me ;P~
(and btw, no I meant using the list in a "They agree with me, why don't
you?" sense)

You do not sit or stand corrected since Distance Strike is a magical
attack (a Physical Adept ability from Awakenings) and as such is a
special case ... IIRC, It uses normal melee skill but you need to be
astrally active to attack astral entities (Astral Perception + Distance
Strike = 4 which is quite a hefty chunk of your physad abils ...)
