The 4th level spell Chromatic Protection (10) on page 100 of Rifts Book of Magic.

Question:

1. IF the victim of this spell fails their saving throw and recovers in 1d4 rounds then attack again do they make another save?

2. IF they succeed in their saving throw do they have to roll again for new attack or the next round?

3. IF the attacker has cybernetic eyes are they immune?

1. Assuming the spell duration has not elapsed (4x melees per level) yes they would need to make another Saving Throw.

2. Yes they must roll for each attack.

3. Given the similarities to Blinding Flash (pg91 in BoM) I would say yes, however cybernetic/bionic eyes (or other cameras) are not identified in the spell.

1: The spell activates for each melee attack towards the target of the spell. The char attacking has to save vs. magic with each of the attacker's attacks within the duration of the spell.

2: See answer #1.

3: Note the note 2 in spell. this say, in a round about way, that only magical means of protection can stop the flash from hindering the attacked. While also noting the "Blinding Flash rules about cybernetic/bionic eyes. As such the GM of each game chooses if or if not the spell's light affect the attacker's cybernetic/bionic eyes.

Wow drewkitty!

Your descriptions are impressive. I have to do a double take on your abreviations BF (Blanding Flash) but I eventually understand and am impressed by the detail of your explanation.
