Warding failed!
An unseen force envelopes you, restricting all movement.

Warriors casting bind...

This is ALSO STUPID:

... and hit for 128 points of damage!
Powerful slash leaves the war mage without a left leg!
A fiery-robed war mage screams and falls to the ground!
The guiding force leaves you.

... and hits for 143 points of damage!
Spectacular arc of electricity enters one ear and comes out the other. Instant death.
The stone soldier shudders violently, all its joints growing loose and useless. In moments it stops moving altogether.

A towering stone soldier gorges itself on the body of a dead stone soldier.
A towering stone soldier stands up with a grunt.

You say, "Down."

You become solid again.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
The deep blue glow leaves you.
The dim aura fades from around you.
The layer of protection fades away.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
The light blue glow leaves you.
You feel the extra courage wane.
The powerful look leaves you.
The glowing specks of energy surrounding you suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
You feel your extra strength departing.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.

And Then...


A V'tullian battle thrall swings a jagged massive black sword at Sabbat!
AS: +379 vs DS: +326 with AvD: +44 + d100 roll: +89 = +186
... and hits for 68 points of damage!
Knocked sideways several feet by blow to back.
He is stunned!

Backhand blow from the battle thrall sends Sabbat sailing west!


* Sabbat just bit the dust!

I don't have a problem with any of those attacks. Why CAN'T a warrior cast magic? Your character doesn't see a warrior in front of him.. he sees an opponent. You, the player see the words "WARRIOR" and automatically assume they shouldn't cast spells.

Weaponfire kills. Get used to it.

Those critters are probably about 10 levels above Varsus.. he shouldn't have great success against them.

Success!
You crash to the ground, clutching your knee!

I actually remember this topic coming up on the forums. Someone had asked why things like warfarers can e-wave and why wights can boil since the spells (at the time) were over their heads. The GM response was pretty much, "You don't want us sending out like level/like skill monsters to battle with your character." It's a good point. I know I wouldn't want the temple wyneb stuff to hit me with a 317 MS.

I suppose the warrior in the example could have way too many AS ranks and a scroll with living rune or bind, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

It's a V'tullian warrior. Obviously V'tull likes them enough to teach them how to cast bind.

Well.. it is reasonable now, as Simu stated as an example that at some point a warrior would be able to earn something like a Sheru symbol, enabling him to cast nightmare. Part of ability bonus.

What I have a problem with is that A wtrick app shows them at a very close trains, yet they have the dux I have... the swing OVER Mine, and the sick spells.
