Hi
Recently been reading through the living rule book and noticed a rather large change for the dwarves back in 2006.
Up to the 2006 revision, the runesmith could roll against spells anywhere on the table.
Now it is changed to only against casters within 50 cm.
Basically means rather then one runesmith, you now need multiples to provide the same level of coverage.
It seems really odd that the area of effect isn't the target of the spell, but the caster. Seems weird you could have a caster be 40 cm from a target unit, the runesmith within 20 of the target, but the runesmith can't stop the spell.... but the caster targeting something 60 cm from the caster, and the caster is between the runesmith and the target could be stopped... when the target is 110 cm from the runesmith.
It would seem more logical that the important distance would be between the affect of the spell and runesmith, not the caster.
