RE: (TFT) Spellcasting, Fatigue, Wounds and Arrows

[Peter von Kleinsmid <pvk@oz.net>]

Nocstar, these look like some good variant rules, though of course with 
some changes to wizards' abilities. A few questions:

If a wizard decides to remove his own arrow, how many empty hands and how 
many turns are required? If more than one and one, do you have a modifier 
for yanking out in one turn using one hand?

I assume a wizard can't inflict more damage on himself than would reduce

Your original post actually says you don't have to, i.e.:

So your original post specifically says it's the wizard's option to use his 
last fatigue points or not, when using injury to cast spells.

So say a wizard has ST 10, no fatigue and no injury, and casts a 7-ST 
fireball, giving himself 7 fatigue, and causing a -2DX penalty on his next 
turn for losing 5 or more fatigue in one turn. The next turn, he wants to 
cast a spell using injury for spell power. The total penalties would be -3 
for having only 3 fatigue left, -2 for using injury to cast a spell, and -2 
for last turn's use of more than 5 fatigue in one spell, for a total of -7 
DX, correct?
