Re: Souls in elves

[Wright Frazier <khelek>]

How does it work?  Simple, if you use my definition of DP.

Soul strike 'rips and tears' at the soul.  This is a quite unpleasent experience,
and results in some serious fatigue and pain, but no honest to god physical damage.
It just pushes you closer to that edge, and if its the soul strike that put you
over the edge, its probably from having the shit stressed out of your system(i.e.
you have a heart attack or stroke).  Otherwise it just tires you out and makes you
feel like utter shit, and makes it that much easier for someone to then get that
crutial blow in that lops off your head.
