The "limit" on your roll for spellcasting is your Force- if you cast it at force 2, that means a max of two hits can be applie. That roll had 3 hits (one 6, two 5s) compared to your threshold of 1 to levitate. Your total on your roll means absolutely nothing. Better polish your dice (and dust off that Edge) to make the roll and to withstand a drain of 8 - 2 = 6 (which then does physical damage as the force required is above your magic attribute). This means you need 8 hits to succeed on a Force 8 spell. Now, say you want to leviate more than ton of material blocking the way out. That are 4 hits (2 5s and 2 6s).Įach hit cancels out 1 drain, since you have more hits than the drain of 2, the drain is gone and you do not get (stun) damage (and before anyone asks: excess hits do NOT heal already suffered damage )). You said you have 7 WIL and 5 LOG, thus you roll 12 dice (do note: penalties due to health etc do NOT apply here!). So you roll your drain, which is for a hermetic mage WIL + LOG. But Drain is always at least 2, so you roll against a drain of 2 (if you had cast a Force 5 spell with Force-2 drain, you'd now need to roll against 5 - 2 = 3, so you would roll against drain 3. Now for the drain: The spell has a drain of Force - 2, this means 1 - 2 = -1. But lucky for you this is neither (as you have less 1s than 50% of your dicepool). Even worse, if it was a glitch without any hit, you'd have a critical glitch. If it were half (or more) of your dice, it'd be a glitch. Since this is less than half your rolled dice, nothing happens. Now you notice a real lot of "1s" in your roll and faint, then you count the 1s. This means your check came up with a success, no matter what else. BUT you used a Force 1 spell with a of 1, so you can only count one of those hits, which is fine, as you only need 1 hit. You count the 5s and 6s, those are your hits. Since you only need to beat a threshold of 1 and no one is opposing the roll, you know that 1 hit will be sufficient and decide for a Force 1 spell. The Force works as, so a spell with a Force of 1 can only have 1 hit you can count, a Force of 4 would allow you to count 4 of your hits.
You calculate the threshold for the skillcheck you need to make: 200 kg / 50 kg = 0.25, rounded up is 1. You pick leviate as spell and yourself as target. Let us walk through a casting of levitate: As stated above - I'll gladly clarify anything if it doesn't make sense.

I'm really sorry about how unorganized this post reads but I'm unsure how to format this question, so please forgive me if I've done a terrible job. This means so long as I continue to roll above the threshold each time I can indefinitely continue to levitate? If all this is correct thus far - how does drain work?ĭrain is F-2 so that's either 1-2 (for -1) or 2-2 (for 0) if I'm understanding all this correctly. This means I just missed a glitch/critical glitch(?) but I also passed the threshold provided in the levitate Spell so my dwarf is now flying. Rolling 12d6 (just to figure out how this all works) rolled 34. Specifically in this instance I am trying to levitate my character so she is willing and not resisting in any way to the spell. Rounded up I believe this will be 1? Is this now her Force? I recall reading the Force can be no less then 2? The Levitate spell in 5e says you have to beat a threshold of subjects mass (50kg) and divided by 200 kg - rounded up. To start: My character is a dwarf hermetic mage (will = 7, log = 5, spellcast = 6), she weighs 50kg with all her gear on. So, simply put my DM hasn't really done much in the way of magical stuff for SR before and as this is my first campaign I am completely confused and blindly trying to figure things out. I'll happily provide more information if needed! Hello! I am new to Shadowrun and fairly new to reddit as well so forgive me if I am in some way presenting my question wrong.
