Ya, the problem though is that the character is probably going to beat the
crap out of the demon before using the spell anyway . . .
Fighting Demons is a large portion of my game and if you've looked at the
sample characters for the GURPS Infinity setting then it shouldn't be a huge
surprise that something like a demon isn't too much of a handful for them
(although I have to say that most of those sample characters are the biggest
waste of points I've even seen, talk about a bunch of 500 point whimps).
I think that the best idea that I've heard so far is using a roll of 10 on
the demon chart as the racial standard. I also might just have to make up
some weird side effects of stealing such dark energy. ("You do understand
that the energy you are stealing is pure evil right?")
Bah, it's probably not a huge deal anyway. The player in question has one of
the weaker characters anyway and really it'll probably amount to 10 or 20
character points a session. Probably won't break the game.
