[Sorcery] Need help with a spell

The problem I have at the moment is that the target would get to make separate resistance rolls against all the different effects. That's no problem for the undead, but for necromancers... they get to make two separate Quick Contests of Will (for Affliction and Neutralize). I would want them to make one Contest, win or lose. But there's no mechanism for nullifying resistance rolls, and I think that's wise. Maybe I'm overthinking this.

Re: [Sorcery] Need help with a spell
Using a single roll for multiple cases of resistance is going to be a Feature, so you can just note "Use a single QC of Will to determine the effects" and be done with it.

Re: [Sorcery] Need help with a spell
Why not have the Undead destroy effect and the Necromancer psychic burnout be two different spells? Just a thought.
Also, don't you need a Cosmic +50% to affect undead with Heart Attack? IDHMBWM but I seem to remember undead having no vitals. |

Heart Attack is the generic "instant-kill" effect. I use it for anything that puts a foe down more or less permanently. This is intended as the "major smackdown" spell for the nature mages. :o)

Re: [Sorcery] Need help with a spell
Fwiw, IT Unliving does not include No Vitals. A car can have a "heart attack" when its engine block siezes, frex. How the OP builds his undead will determine if Heart Attack can do anything to them. Of course if they have No Vitals, then yeah, needs a Cosmic in there.

Re: [Sorcery] Need help with a spell
Thanks. I have a tendency to overthink things.
