Ok, I wasn't even remotely hostile before but I am slightly peeved now because we have enough of a fucking framework to figure out the how as well because we know why cyber acts in the manner which it does.

Last I checked, shapshifting magic making cyber go bye bye isn't a "why cyber acts in the manner in which it does" but a "why MAGIC acts..." I also said I hadn't thought your post was hostile, but only said it felt that way, and attempted to rely in a non-defensive and non-hostile manner. |

Hey, given my druthers the Shapechange spell would both conserve mass and cyber. By glad I am not given my druthers. No one wants to be a deer with a human cyberskull.

Think chipmunks with internal holdout cyberguns, live house cats as weapons, and free spirits named Francis who need who need 200 left index fingers for tomorrow night's hor dourves, not to mention a gallon of horseradish to compliment the 'sasabonsam salsa'. *Sometimes wishes someone would invent brain-floss.* |

QUOTE (Draco18s @ Nov 9 2009, 05:26 AM) My last (and first) drake character never went into his dracoform. I was saving it for a special occasion which never came up. Every drake-magican should shift into a Drake before entering astral space and get astral armor and weapons. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/love.gif) (At least if there's time to undress.

The Astral Armor would be a great benefit, the weapons too. Best of all, you can still cast spells as a Drake. |

I encountered a need for the special abilities drakes get versus spirits (their claws counting as a magical attack, thus ItNW not applying). Unfortunately the rest of the party managed to off the spirits before my turn came around again. |

Being a Drake has some benefits outside of combat as well. Remember that Drakes are supposed to be agents originally created by Great Dragons to serve their purposes amongst humanity. As such, it gives those characters an in to creating a trusted partnership with some massively powerful players. Too bad that any character who could benefit from it really can't spare the bp.
