Pixie with a vendetta and an expertise in poisons. Captured and sold to a rich family in Europe as a "Pet" she escapes and starts running to get vengeance on anyone she feels would wrong her. Yeah. Never going to get away with that one.

QUOTE (Dakka Dakka @ Nov 30 2011, 05:16 PM)  A PC can't do it, but if you have an NPC Free Spirit with the Astral Gateway power at your disposal... It won't work that way. Astral Gateway allow you to force anyone to become dual-natured and astrally project, but their body stays behind. IIRC that kind of "astral teleportation" of physical entities through a metaplanar shortcut was possible in Earthdawn, but only as an advanced technique for a pretty specific (and rather uncommon) magical school. |

I can't play a mage that searches out free spirits, binds them to an object and trains them to fight battles.

I'd like to say it doesn't happen in Canada either, but I remember Summer Camp. (At least by that time I had learned to fight. Dirty, but still fight.).
My family finally got that I don't like Not-City after that. |

QUOTE (Dakka Dakka @ Nov 30 2011, 10:53 AM) Nope, PC Free Spirits are nerfed that way. I'm fairly certain that PC Free spirits can still make use of Astral Shortcuts, like every other spirit. This doesn't let them teleport anywhere at will, but it does cover places that they have already been. Also astral gateway doesn't let you teleport through the metaplanes. It does let you Project, whether or not you are able to do that normally. The main upside to it is that you can bypass The Dweller On The Threshold with it. |

I thought we were talking about getting a character with a physical body from A to B very quickly.QUOTE (Udoshi @ Dec 1 2011, 12:47 AM) Also astral gateway doesn't let you teleport through the metaplanes.

Of course it does.QUOTE ('Street Magic p. 98') The spirit can open an astral rift (p. 116), forcing all physical objects within the area to be dual natured, as well as allowing even mundanes to astrally project. The astral rift can connect to any metaplane the spirit can visit itself (so while a fire elemental can probably open a rift to the Plane of Fire, it probably can’t open a rift to The Hive). |

Read it again. It forces Physical Objects within the Area to be Dual Natured. Your Physical Body does not travel along, however. It allows Mundanes to ASTRALLY PROJECT. That is all. Says so, right there in the quote you used from the book. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I did have a Troll once whos claim to fame was being able to survive a fight with a Main Battle Tank.
The only problem was he had to roll well to damage it with his Dikote axe (which meant either he scrapped it in one round, or he couldn't scratch the paint). |

The damage codes break down, period, when you have high ratings of hardened armor. If a tank has 40 hardened armor, it will typically completely ignore a 39 DV attack, and be completely destroyed by a 41 DV attack.
Bad character ideas... I would love to combine two of the most infamous self-insertions of all time, and make the spellslinging pirate captain, Ebony Darkness Dementia Amber Flores Picard. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

QUOTE (Daylen @ Dec 1 2011, 05:00 AM) So which is it? are mundanes dual natured or astrally projected? A mundane becomes dual-natured (and has no choice in the matter), and he can astrally project (if he chose to do so), detaching his astral presence from his physical body - the same way a shapeshifter mage is permanently dual-natured but can astrally project, leaving his meat behind. |
