This is something I've been thinking on buying for my character since a kidnap gone south (due to our lack of experience).
Get a Mana-coffin with a faraday cage treatment. Now, would this prevent both Matrix and Astral tracking? I've been wondering about this for sometime and I'm even considering on doing this for my own safe-house. (I know it can get expensive, but I'm a healthy paranoid runner) |

I finally had the time to take a look at Manahazard Containment Devices (MCD for short) on Arsenal. They give a -2 dice pool modifier to Ritual Sorcery and Astral Tracking. While barriers (like the biofiber) add to the threshold to detect.
So, a coffin has 5.8 squared meters, a troll-sized would have at least twice: 11.6. A biofiber barrier enveloping a mana coffin would cost 11.6k (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) and 580 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) of nutrients per week. The manacoffin costs 1.2k (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) the faraday cage would 200 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) . Total: 13k (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) plus 580 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) per week to keep the biofiber alive. Sounds a little expensive to keep this as a full time since the nutrients for the biofiber cost as much as a Low lifestyle. Any suggestions? Is there anything I might add from Street Magic? |
