Re: Deflect Energy spell and question about Command
Deflect Energy is like Missile Protection: it causes an energy attack to miss one target but otherwise continue on its way. So if he stands behind someone and casts Deflect Energy on that person, any energy attack targeted at that person will continue on to the next person in its normal line of travel and hit that person (the spellcaster) on a 9 or less. So this is a risky way to defend two people with one spell.
Command is a Blocking spell, not a Regular spell. It does not look like it takes a penalty for distance or target SM, but it's a common and reasonable house rule to apply both.
