[HOE] Syker Clarifications



Fortitude: It says in the Brainburners Sourcebook on p.39: “A syker can continue to use powers up to double his normal Strain. When a syker uses Strain beyond that (he goes negative), he must make a simultaneous Vigor check…” The way this reads, it sounds like a syker could double his normal strain before having to make any vigor checks. I felt that the way it was intended is that a syker could use his normal strain without having to make any vigor checks. After that, up to double his normal strain, he would have to make a Vigor check for each power used. Is there an official clarification on this? What have you other marshals ruled?

 

The Arson Power: The Arson power as described on p. 54 of the Brainburners Sourcebook states that: “When used, Arson creates a fiery burst with a diameter equal to the syker’s Spirit die type in yard. Targets within this diameter take 2d10 damage, plus 1d10 per raise. Use the massive damage rules on important characters.” Does this mean that this power works like a grenade with a burst radius equal to half the syker’s Spirit die type? Or does it only effect targets with in the diameter of effect?
