"Also, Carrion Call has been set up to do a little less total damage - but it has a tendency to hit body parts that are already wounded, giving it what might end up being an interesting niche for TM. It is not guaranteed to hit already wounded areas, but more mana invested will increase the probability." -GM [[Ricinus]] |
