Hello !
My Mentem magi will need to attack enemies.
I think that mentem can not be used to cause real wounds, because even if your target is convinced of being wounded (or dead), that will never kill him...
So i think that 2 options are possible :
1- To convince the target that he is incapacited or has heavy wounds. A Corp requisite would be necessary (to give him the feelings of being amputated for instance). Avoiding Imagonem (and Corp !) is possible (and necessary i think ), if i say that the Ment power prevent him to look at his wound and to listen to his allies (if some are there), cause he is too horrified...
=> this is a way to enfeeble him (with wounded penalties), or to convice him he is incapacitated so that he will not be able to do anything.
2- Trying to cause fatigue loss.
I guess that causing fatigue loss could be interesting, cause
-
most enemies have only 6 lvl of fatigue
-
they have no defence against fatigue loss (no armor)
-
a low level Mentem power could for instance cause fatigue loss (for instance 2 per round) and prevent the enemy of doing anything else with his brain. 8)
That could be very powerful.
A second way of causing fatigue loss could be a very powerful Perdo Mentem power, which could simply make the target fall in a coma (unconcious during 2hours)
What do u think of that ?
