Re: Defending against magic attacks
If you get a critical success on a bare-handed parry against a thrown missile spell, does that let you catch it without injury with the option of throwing it back on your next attack? I think that's how it works with other throwing weapons.

Re: Defending against magic attacks
Magic, p12 (the initial description of Missile spells). The parenthentical bit is missing from the otherwise identical text on B241.

Re: Defending against magic attacks
While I might allow that with a throwing knife, throwing knives have hllts. Balls of fire don't

Re: Defending against magic attacks
Agreed. I wouldn’t allow it by default. It might be fun, however, in unusual circumstances. A fire giant, for example, might catch a fireball. (Though why would anyone throw fire at a fire giant? Hmm... a fire giant disguised as a frost giant, yeah!)

Re: Defending against magic attacks
I would allow it only for a wizard who knows the same missile spell and successfully casts it with the standard parry modification to skill. Totally not RAW, but very cool visually.

Re: Defending against magic attacks
Fire giant might be doing a sacrificial parry for his ice giant friend. Mages are somehow able to "hold" a fireball in the first place, so there must be some way of interacting with it.

But it is pretty expensive (costs 3). That's a nifty idea. |
