@scawire
ok i'm going to be generous and ask what your intent is for this spell?
it could be read a number of ways and i'm not in "evil GM mwhahahaha" mode today lol

[Scawire]

Intent for the spell is to let the SIN check slide and just sell him the smokes with no other problems. So don't worry about the SIN fallow up just sell Mantis his smokes and let him go on his way.

[Csjarrat]

wil 3 (3d6.hits(5)=2)
cashier makes his resistance roll

[Scawire]

Since I didn't see anything about dice pool drops for recasting Influence on for mind probe, I'll keep the dice pool the same.

Again going for the same push.

Influence F3
Drain (f/2)+1 = 2 stun

Casting
Spellcasting (Combat)  5(7) + Magic 3 - wound 1 - sustaining spell 2 = 5
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4604926/ 2 hits ( 2nd last and 3rd last)

Drain
Will 5 + logic 5(7) + daredrenaline 1 = 13
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4604928/ 6 hits

[Csjarrat]

Counts as a failed test so will be at a further -1 modifier

[Scawire]

Ok two things
1) I should still get two hits, but it does mean I'm not casting that spell a lot more.
2) I edited Mantis 5th edition on page 60 (OOC The Old Smoke) I noted at the bottom what I changed.

At least Fake SINs work better in the 5th edition. The change in rules hopefully will not have Mantis in as much trouble with his SINs. Hopefully

[Csjarrat]

Been real busy with work, will try get a post up tomorrow lads

[Lumen]

No worries but I did have a question about Knives' 5th Ed build.  How do you feel about the Elemental Weapon Power?  The power states "Only one elemental effect can be used at
a time, and each elemental effect must be purchased as a separate power." (p. 171 Street Grimoire) however I assume it's stated as such to prevent stacking multiple uses on the same weapon.  With just one purchase would I be able to enhance both weapons?  I think it should still take one action per weapon but I don't think it would be game breaking to allow me to enchant both weapons.  Besides at this point I'm looking at 2 full Passes if I want to get fully buffed, it has it's downfalls.

[Csjarrat]

Tbh mate, I looked at the elemental power and it ain't that great. I'd be happy for you to boost two weapons at once tbh, mechanically it makes little difference unless splitting dice pool across multiple targets in combat

[Lumen]

Yea good point if all it does is add the elemental effect then it's not that great.  Oh well.

[Csjarrat]

so apparently this guy's willpower is unshakeable!

3d6.hits(5)=2 2 hits, resists spell for 2nd time

[Csjarrat]

ok, i'll need some addiction resistance tests for both of you please

[Scawire]

Mild addiction roll (-2 to dice pool)

Logic 5(7) + will 5 + daredrenaline 1 - 2 (Mild) = 11

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4610038/ 1 hit

I think Mantis is going to tell someone else to get the smokes and if it goes south, we should knock over the store and take what we want.

Really one hit on 11 dice and the GM gets 2 hits on 3 dice, IC works for the corps that sell the smokes.
