Why does Burst of Sunlight hurt allies who play it? (It didn't use to in
the latest unofficail ruleings comp I had, which I thought was great even
thought I do remember reading about it in a more current rulling, but just
chose to ignore that, and hope that realism might take precedence) I think
that that is the stupidist thing in the world.
Lets image this scenario lets say I am a mage, and I happen to be able
to cast spells which resemble vampric abilites, and I block a vampire (at
night of course) who was going to spread lies about the vampire I was
recruited to work for(or his boss rather, but I don't know that) and so I
am in combat with this scary vampire, and I am a mage, a human being who is
used to walking around in the daytime holds down a 9-5 job as a lawyer and
just happens to go off wizarding at night as a hobby. This vampire sees me
coming from afar, and fires his 5-shot 22 revolver at me(saturday night
special) now I can take it it's just a flesh wound, I'm a mage, I'll just
visit my vagabond mystic friend tomarrow he'll patch it up.(note the
vagabond can't block vampires, because he isn't up at night but that's off
subject) so any way I decided I'll just work a little magic and make it
daytime at night, arrgh the vampire screams in pain and starts burning.
Ahhhh but wait I was using an ability as a vampire, so I become one too for
a little bit, and now the same sunlight that I am used to walking under all
day seven days a weeks is going to hurt me, how bloody ridiculous is that?
The only way I could think off a defensible explanation is that burst of
sunlight is more like I create a little ball of plasma mini sun sorta thing,
and it's so hot I get hurt a little to, but then that wouldn't explain why
my foe's pet raven, two layer friends, and pack of dogs weren't burned(not
play burned real burned took some damage) from the burst of sunlight as
well.
So after a very bad experence casting burst of sunlight, the next night I
decide to forge some documents, regarding one of my employers arch
nemesises, now I am well mystified and all healed up, so I'm not really
worried. However I get caught entering the congressional committe records
building by a nast enemy of mine, Aylea the manipulator. I use my inate
ability to move to get far from her, and then I decide to steal some of her
blood to give myself more life(very vampric really) and she having heard
about my escape last night and nowing that if something were to happen to
her her gargoyle's would save her from torporous slumber, and wanting to
give me a taste of my own medicine, she makes a burst of sunlight appear.
And I laugh as she screams in pain from the sunlight, and nothing happens to
me because I am a mage, and unaffected by sunlight, unless I cast it.
