I tried doing a search for this but nothing turned up, so here's the issue I'd like to discuss:
[Fire & Ice] Elemental Counters: the counter spells here say:
"Caster must make a successful Directed Spells maneuver (i.e., make an attack against the caster of the target spell using the appropriate elemental attack table)."
So I thought at the bottom of the list I would find something like "Characters should develop a Counter Spell in the Directed Spell Skill Category", but that didn't happen.
Considering that it's an elementalism base list, as all specialist lists have a bolt attack, maybe the answer is to use those bolts, but then a question of balance arises, as different bolts have different table "structures" and so for instance a light mage using lightning bolt would be at an advantage, or in case of using shock bolt would be at a disadvantage against a fire mage with fire bolts.
So my idea so far was to develop a Counter Directed Spell Skill, using the generic RMFRP bolt attack table, so as to avoid the balance issue.
But there's another complication... the Aether Mastery spell list has a counter spell as well, but instead of suggesting the directed attack approach (as the Elemental Counters and Nether Mastery do) it says to do a Targeting skill roll.
So that sums up my confusion, what do u think?
