Health Drain

This rule simply needs to be tested. It may be almost perfect, or it may need a bit of work. We think it's pretty good, but it hasn't been really tested. Leave any feedback on the Talk page, please!

The mage conjures a vile conduit between himself and another being. Through it, he saps the very life force from the creature and invigorates himself with it. Health can only be drained by touch, so the mage must make a hand-to-hand Attack Roll. If the target fails its Dodge Roll, the mage makes his Casting Roll, and the target makes its Mettle save. For every point of success over the target's save, the mage receives one health point and the target loses one health point. If the amount exceeds the creature's current HP total, the creature dies — writhing in agony. The mage cannot bolster his HP beyond his normal maximum.
