How big a hole does the Quake spell in 50 Fathoms produce? The description says that those who make their save, cling to the sides and may climb out.

does the spell give any indication at all of the area it effects? 50 Fathoms is one of the few settings I don't have for SW, otherwise I would check myself :) – Phil May 4 '12 at 20:10

The spell has a Large Burst Template area of effect. – altazu May 4 '12 at 20:24

Savage Worlds uses a small, medium and large burst template. They measure 3, 4, and 5 inches in diameter. Page 62 of the first edition rules states one inch on the battle map is equal to 2 yards. Using that, the Quake spell, which uses the large template, produces a hole about 10 yards in diameter.

Does that mean the hole is 5 yards deep? – altazu May 5 '12 at 6:36

That's what I would say. If the blast template is a sphere then it makes sense. – MightyRocket May 5 '12 at 12:56
