[Sorcerer] Please Explain the 'Big' Ability
Joel Rojas:
The text says Stamina is increased for purposes of resisting damage and makes it clear this is not for attack or defense rolls. What damage roll does it mean? Is it the Will roll to cancel out penalties for being injured?
jburneko:
Hey Joel,
Ron can correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding of Big is that it doesn't affect rolls at all.
So if you have a stamina of 3 and a Power 4 demon makes you Big. Then you still roll 3 dice for attacking and defending. However you can take 7 total penalties before you start having to make Will rolls to act. It also means that you don't actually start taking penalties on your rolls until the demon's Power score is exceeded. So up to 4 penalties you're rolling 3 dice for Stamina but at 5 penalties now you're rolling 2 dice.
Make sense?
Jesse
Joel Rojas:
Yes, it makes sense now. Thanks, Jesse.

My first stop for this sort of thing is the sorcerer wiki
http://random-average.com/Sorcerer/Big
which is moslty compiled of quotes from this forum. Very useful, provides lots of context. I recommend it.
Joel Rojas:
Great resource (and bookmarked). Thanks.
