Greetings to everyone.

I recently purchased Anima and have so far been very pleased with the game. However, during our first combat testplay, we quickly came about an issue that my friends and I could not surmount. One player, whose character is a psychic, attemped to use "Psychokinetic Impact", which seems to be lacking important information regarding its functionality regarding how its strength bonus plays into its knockback effect. The spell "Water Impact" references an "Impact Table", which we surmised might be related. Even if this is so, however, we could not locate this table. It quickly brought out play-session to an end as we searched the book many times over for an "Impact Table" without success. As a criticism, we all agree that the lack of an index is very harmful to the core book's ease of use.

Would anyone be able to assist us in finding this "Impact Table", or whatever else we might actually need for spells and abilities such as "Water Impact" or "Psychokinetic Impact"?

It's the tipe of damage: impact damage.

While this may be the case, there is nonetheless a reference to an "Impact Table" that must exist somewhere, and there still does not appear to be enough information given in the description of "Psychokinetic Impact" in order to determine what effect its strength bonus has. I would appreciate it if someone could assist me in determining exactly what information I am missing in being able to use these powers, and if some table called The Impact Table exists, either within the book or as some sort of supplimental information.

The table appears in Dominus Exxet, a supplemental book not translated into English.

I copied it over to a spreadsheet for someone at one point, I'll see if I can find it.

See FFG, we NEED erratta and a web supplement

You can minimize the damage with Acrobatic as well as Jump.

This is a chart I got from Swordwraith, so enjoy.

Is there any indication as to how you calculate effective distance targets are thrown?

For instance, if it says 45 to 60 feet, how do you calculate whether a certain target is thrown 45 or 60 feet?

A WIKI would be nice -searchability would fill the lack of index. I bet just the information already contained in this forum would be more than enough to fill a startup wiki. Although there is not much in it currently, one has been created on wikia, http://animabeyondfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Anima:Beyond_Fantasy_Wiki

I don't know if wikia is the best way to start up a wiki for a game like this, but if its a free service, nobody would have to pay to host it (and thus, it would be less likely to go offline)
