We don't have a difference between electricity generated by a taser or that generated by natural lightning, save in sheer scale of numbers. If natural lightning won't hurt an incorporeal wizard, neither should man-made technological lightning.
    Yeah, outside WoD Mage, technology isn't magic.

    That's the way it traditionally worked.

    Finally, a reason to use evocation over conjuration direct-damage spells!

    Not so sure. Wasn't there a thing about force effects counting as working against incorporeal?
    Most people see a half orc and and think barbarian warrior. Me on the other hand? I think secondary trap handler and magic item tester. Also I'm not allowed to trick the next level one wizard into starting a fist fight with a house cat no matter how annoying he is.
    Yes I know it's sarcasm. It's a joke. Pale green is for snarking

    I have to agree that the PF wizard would win. First off, one man, especially a wizard, is very hard to find, unless (paraphrasing a previous poster) "he is a moron and the Chinese have superhuman skill."

    Then you would just employ the standard wizard techniques til the Chinese army is dead.

    BTW, remember, the thread is Wizard vs Chinese army on a fair playing field. Putting the wizard on Earth at all is a major aid to the Chinese.
