Ah, that is all nice and wondeful Robert except that those munchkins with
everything must be really loving you, because you didn't present them with
drain codes, target numbers or anything, therefore if you have the spell (even
at force 1), then it simply must work all the time, without failure. ;p


On a more serious note, the spell that Robert is describing, has anyone come
around with this? We've had a variation of it here, not for the Air Elemental
vulnerability, but for the Vampires in Mist Form and the Knock Out Gasses that
always bothered us.

We just "upped" the drain for a "Barrier" spell by one level, to
represent the
ability to fully effect a given "Elemental Effect" completely. I think that
would make the spell a [(F/2)+2D] based upon that presumption.
