_at_@ I understand that but most Slann weapons don't need this power as they
already have better then ad to hits.

_at_@ they do when they are non-pyshical attacks, but the Mages real power is
pyshical attacks so you would need to rol on template. Since you are
muonting him in a weapon this needs to be treated like a weapon.

_at_@ cool just thought of this one instead of a to hit roll just use the small
template, Then all under it must save on a roll of 4+, anything with a fixed
save will get to roll 2 times once for weapon and once for their save
