<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Not a spell I have used much. Let us
try to walk thru it.<br>
Projected at a specific target. Okay.<br>
If the spell succeeds, presumably using a roll
using MEL and EL on the Rule 6.13 The Magic Table.<br>
and on a second roll, The second roll will be
using The Combat Table from Rule 1.<br>
a hit or better is scored on the combat table Hit,
Severe and Deadly<br>
using the EL as the OCV Thus caster's EL minus
target's DCV gets the Base Line on the combat table<br>
the target is dead. So far so good. The
target had two chances to affect the outcome.<br>
MDV vs
first roll and DCV vs the second. If the roll was a Hit or better
the target dies.<br>
In any other case The spell worked but
the above roll on the Combat Table was a shield hit or miss.<br>
success with the second
roll, presumably on a shield hit or miss. (miss is arguable)<br>
results in scoring the damage below. in which
case the following tells how much damage is done.<br>
The base line on the combat table equals MEL + EL.
Recalculate ignoring OCV and DCV and using MEL+EL for BL<br>
Why?
Well better chance of hit or shield hit. (Or Snider spaced out.)<br>
Damage equals 3D6+EL <br>
Exception Light afflicted
get killed even by shield hits and take more damage from a miss.<br>
<br>
My take on the spell. Alex Koponen<br>
PS One could argue that on the second roll a miss (not being a
success) should result in no damage.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I recently created an NPC for my campaign
that has the Light Powers family of spells. I looked up the
effects and the Killing Light listing was confusing for me.
On a line in the middle it says that the EL is used as the OCV
for making the second roll (would you use the target’s DCV
too?), and on the last line it says to use MEL+EL as the BL on
the combat table (this would obviously make for a much higher
chance of success). Anyone know which one it should be?<o:p></o:p></p>
