I do the rule where direct spells do base damage and the caster can choose to add net hits to the damage but each one added raises the DV by 1.  This balances the insane power of direct combat spells in my opinion.  Yancy chose not to add hits because of the added drain.

Ahh, okay.

I forgot that.

@Fastjack:

Was looking at your character sheet and I see that you are a level 1 initiate but did you get a metamagic with that?

[FastJack]

Masking. Of course.

[inca1980]

Ok cool, that's what I remember too.  Why don't you put that on your character sheet so i don't forget again  

[FastJack]

Done. I should also note that, unless I "turn off" the Masking, you can assume it's always up. (A good Social adept is one that no one knows is an adept...)

Because the flash bang only does stun, does that mean that cover gives full protection, since it couldn't pierce any sort of barrier?

Also, B.B.'s location should be just south of the couches.  He took cover behind them in IP 1

[inca1980]

yeah, i'll say full cover protects against flashbangs.  If you're not fully covered and out of site i'll just assume with your amped reflexes you used a free action from your 3rd IP as soon as you saw the grenade to duck and be completely under full cover.

I'll roll to see if he notices the nade.

[inca1980]

Yeah, you have the rest of IP 3 to act.

BB Make that a threshold 2 to notice grenade. 
Walks definitely sees it.

[Walks Through Walls]

We should still be in the end of IP2 in the 1st CT right after Yancy's action. I want to act either getting behind cover or trying to move the nade. I was
just waiting to see what Mercedes was going to do/ which way to send the grenade.

[inca1980]

@Cynthia:

Ok, i didn't know you were gonna act.  Just say you moved behind cover with B.B.

[Walks Through Walls]

OK Hopefully Woofer and Mercedes will be alright

[inca1980]

@Fastjack:

Yancy only got 3 hits on that spellcasting test and you got three hits on the resistance test so there were no net hits and you successfully resisted it.  So edit your post to reflect that.

[FastJack]

Done!

I'm off to GENCON so I won't be back on till probably Sunday
