Re: [HOE] Headbangers & doomsayer's EMP

["Kai Tave" <kaitave@harborside.com>]

Firstly:

One Strain per Black Hat?  Huh?

If the TN is 11, that means you're paying 4 Strain for each EMP.  That's
only one shy of a Nuke.  Not exactly "abusive" given that the average
beginning Doomsayer with a d12 in Vigor can cast exactly three TN 11 EMP's
before he has to go rest (only TWO EMP's against Automatons, since those are
TN 13).  If you're going for quantity, Nuke, MIRV, or ICBM still win.  EMP
is for finesse (as in "Kill the Black Hat, but please don't collapse the
tunnel around us again.").

Secondly:

Um...  I'm not a "she", guys.
