Hi all,
I'm getting confused over the rules for spell casting in RMFRP... I think I maybe adding too many steps into the procedure.
Currently, the PC makes a spell casting static manoeuvre which is rolled and added to the spell list bonus and if successful, then makes a roll on the basic spell attack table (modified by nothing) and this gives a result in the appropriate column (to the defender's advantage). This result is the modifier to the defender's Resistance roll based on the attacker's level against the defender's level.
Is the roll for the initial static manoeuvre modified by the spell list bonus - and is a second roll used for the basic spell attack table - or is the initial roll simply used again for that table (but not modified by the spell list bonus this time)?
Am I using too many steps to cast spells? Should the static manoeuvre be used only for utility spells and the basic spell attack table used for attacking spells only - without any static manoeuvres? In that case, are there any modifiers used to the defender if it's not attacking? Or is any spell that requires a RR by the defender counted as an 'attack' spell (which can include 'healing' spells as the 'recipient' has the possibility to resist)?
Thanks.
