[MH] Spell Casting
Im GM'ing a MH game. I'm a little unclear as to the building & pricing of rituals.
Lets say a witch wants to make & cast a fireball (thrown with innate attack). Whitch of the two options below is correct? Greater destroy energy (5), 300 lbs (3), 4d+2 brn dam (2) = 30 energy or Greater destroy energy (5), 300 lbs (3), Range: 20 yds (6), 4d+2 brn dam (2) = 48 energy Thanks for the help. Damage Note: 2en is 1d+2 *3 for attack type (visible, non-explosive, ect...) which is 3d+6. Dice adds rule converts this to 4d+2. |

Re: [MH] Spell Casting
If a fireball just appears in the caster's hand and has no range component, then how do I as the GM determine 1/2d and Acc for the attack? Does the player just to declare that it has a range of 1000 yds, an Acc of 7+3, and I'm supposed to nod? Or do I assign some kind of weight to the fireball and look up the results on the throwing chart?
Alternately, what if instead of using a fireball, the caster wanted to create a laser beam? |

Re: [MH] Spell Casting
Champion p35:
For a visible, blatant, external attack, which must be delivered by touch or thrown (using Innate Attack skill with standard range penalties) and can be dodged,... characters p61 : By default, this is a ranged attack with 1/2D 10, Max 100, Acc 3, RoF 1, Shots N/A, and Recoil 1 Hope this help celjabba |

If the spell was a stunning spell how would that work? Greater Create Energy [6], Stunning [0], one Greater effect [x3] = 18 total energy? or Greater Control Mind [5], Stunning [0], one Greater effect [x3] = 15 total energy? thx in advance! |

If you wanted to create some sort of "concussion ball" in your hands that you then threw at the target to stun him, you'd avoid the need for Range but would have to use Greater effects. That's not really the best idea, energy-wise, but it might be necessary in some weird situations.

Re: [MH] Spell Casting
So if I wanted to do:
Spontanious Combustion: Greater Create Energy [6], Range: 10yds [4], 3d+2 burn damage [10], one Greater effect [x3] = 60 total energy. and Malediction Energy Drain: Greater Destroy Energy [5], Range: 10yds [4], 3d+2 fatiuge damage [20], one Greater effect [x3] = 87 total energy. Or do I have to add subject weights? thx in advance. |

Also, for malediction type attacks is it regular skill for the range specified in the spell? or Is it the standard -1/yd but max range of spell? |
