Eric,
Also, you ARE getting something out of it.
If you don't spend that one point, you are using
the staff as a normal non-magical wooden staff,
which puts you at a -6.
So instead of being at a -6 you get "times 1" damage.
That's the benefit.

Eric,
The idea is, I think, that rather than being some kind of ninja kendo master,
Grey Star is basically a weakling n00b. When he fights with his staff, rather
than cracking his opponent's bones with it, what he's doing is unleashing a
magical zap. So, that always takes at least 1WP.
You get the added gamble of deciding how many WP to use *before* you pick a
number from the RNT. This means, if you get a low number when the enemy loses
few (or no!) EPs, you might potentially waste willpower on a megazap that
misses its target.
However, with luck, you can throw plenty of WP at a combat and fry your enemy
in one or two rounds. This explains why, for instance, you could conceivably
even reude the Klesàa's EP to zero in one or two rounds (only to find it
doesn't die!)
Can you use a Tamara seed before the first round of combat, that's the real
question!
PS glad they didn't take your house!!

Subject: [projectaon] Grey Star action chart
Hello all!
Well I have finally, FINALLY, gotten my internet access back! And it
feels like I'm starting to claw my way back out of the financial hole I've
been in since losing my last job. I did manage to keep my house, so thats
a good thing...
Anyway, I've started looking at doing an action chart for the four Grey
Star books and I've noticed that the rules seem to be a bit more complex
than the LW books, and I have a quick question. When using your staff are
you forced to use at lease one willpower point? That seems kind of odd to
me. Since the willpower points multiply the damage done to your enemy
using just one point really does nothing at all. So it just seems strange
to force the use of a point when you don't gain anything from it.
As of now I've just skimmed over the rules and started thinking of the
best way to code some of the combat situations. Is there something obvious
that I've overlooked?
