[quote]Anything can likely be taken as a defense. 

If I was charging a earth attack and you were charging a fire attack at the same time, we both get to three, and you attack. I can use my earth attack to defend. With both o us having zero as a charge number following it. 

Preps are usually more magic based. Holding a normal gun for ten rounds isn't going to charge it. Holding a gun that uses magic as its ammo and charging it for ten turns, however, will likely fuck that tank up. 

But if you would like, you can wait until Skallagrim returns and let him explain it.[/quote]

This may mean magic is inherently superior to technology when it comes to overall potency. Or is this wrong? 

[quote]Pretty simple, when I see a guy making fire in his hands, I start to charge my magical shield. You can only interrupt charges with an attack, and you can't charge and attack with that charged attack in the same turn.

You couldn't really get away with interrupting their defense channeling with your 1 prep attack either, because they've had roughly a similar time to charge as you.

Also, defending is rarely as energy consuming as attacking, that's just the nature of attacking.[/quote]

So obviously the entire system is flawed, then.

Lol.
