Title: Dark Stunning, Stunning type spells
Post by: Dreven1 on March 26, 2013, 10:57:37 AM

Hello all,

I had an encounter last game with a player using a "Stunning" spell.  :'( It was from the Channeling list "Channels" level 5.  It indicated that it was a "F" spell yet other stun spells from other lists are "Fm" which means that they are mind affecting spells. Is this a typo? or are channeling spells more like a slap to the face, when other stunned (Fm) are some internal brain poke?  :o

Thanks!  :D

Sounds like a good way to interpret it.  :)

Let's see..
Holy Shout is F
Jolts from "Mind Destruction" is Fm. Makes sense.
Unminding, same List, is Fm.

Most of the Mentalism Stun spells are Fm. Again, I agree with the book that Mentalism should be type m.

Looks like Channeling doesn't care so much about mental. The stun effect isn't concerned with your attitude/mindset. The physical effect seems to be more important.

I'd agree with that.... It is the old smite your foes with divine energies type spell so plain F makes sense.

 I agree that the F makes the most sense, unless the persons God is a God of knowledge or mental powers then I would say Fm.
