See Challenge # 112.

It wasn't explicitly stated, but I imagined the Rohn as occasionally getting into passionate arguments about precedence, or whether someone had stolen someone's design, etc, etc, etc which is where a lot of the conflict would come from, hence this interpretation of a burn spell.

The art shows someone being smacked hard in the face with a heavy leather glove!

Do the mechanics work ok? I was surprised to see this hadn't been printed before. It's like mugging, a slightly weaker shock, but with an additional effect. Except that here the two effects synergise, as occasionally you'll want to deal it two damage and force it to attack to finish it off by blocking.

I'm not sure if the numbers are right. It's mostly equivalent to shock, which is fine, that's what I wanted. But slightly cheaper because it can't hit players, but slightly more expensive because it has another effect. Or it's instant-speed mugging, except "must attack" is clunkier than "can't block".

Yep, this looks fine power level for a common.

That's a very nice combination of effects. Good job, sir. :)

Thank you!
