[pnpgm] Game Update #86 - File #694 - Vong Combat Ph 48-52

[Wout Broere]

I read it as non-damaging to the caster and any persons he is in contact 
with, or who successfully enters it.

Whether a horse can remain undamaged is up to the evil GM to decide.

However, as the whirlwind may move with the caster at the center, I 
would interpret it as moving the caster along at no additional cost.

 From V2:
"     The Whirlwind rises around the Caster and anyone he is in physical 
contact with. Any other person in the effect area, or that enters it, 
suffers the listed damage and is thrown out.

If the spell does not succeed in damaging the person, through failure, 
he may enter the eye of the funnel, where the Caster is located. To do 
so, he must roll less than or equal to his Dodge Value on 1D10.
      The Caster may move the affect each phase. He must remain at the 
center when he does. Any person in physical contact with him moves with 
it. Any who release their hold, or that he succeeds in throwing out, are 
subject to the effects of the whirlwind."
