Re: [Magic] Concussion Spell OP?
Tldr this thread; the spell is situational and hard to use.

Re: [Magic] Concussion Spell OP?
I concur. I would never allow it as it basically turns DX into a dump stat for missile wizards and I want to encourage interesting trade-offs between as many options as I can during character generation and advancement.

Re: [Magic] Concussion Spell OP?
Agree that the spell is overpowered; I had to nerf it to a straight HT roll for my games, and rule that those deafened from a previous Concussion got a bonus vs the next one to prevent it being used to spam-Stun large groups of foes.
Hitting an entire hex (as opposed to an individual target) at 10+ yards to place the blast is just not that difficult, so the only fights where it didn't come out were those that took place in a shoebox at immediate melee range.

Re: [Magic] Concussion Spell OP?
0 x 0 = 0. If a spell is limited by your level of Magery, non-mages can only learn it for prerequisite chains.

Re: [Magic] Concussion Spell OP?
Nope. You invest energy, not FP directly. Energy is powered by FP, ER, Powerstones, and HP for the crazy ones. Missile spells do nothing for non-mages, and learning them if you can't buy or gain Magery in play is literally wasting points.

This is pretty munchkin-ey though, so don't be surprised if your GM says no :P.
