The nanopaste disguise is one of those nifty little pieces of gear my players are becoming big fans of. You don't use your real face on the run, you don't run into the problem of bumping into someone you've 'met' before later, and make it harder for basic image-recognition scans to cause you problems.
I'm curious, though, if you can see this stuff on astral. My players recently made a run on a corporate party of a couple hundred people, including a few wagemages who would have been on astral at least part of the night. Only now, a week later, did it occur to me to wonder if your aura envelops the nanopaste (making it invisible, essentially, on astral) or if you have big dead zones all over your body where you've applied it. Essentially, can you see that someone's wearing a nanodisguise if you percieve them on the astral? How about if you Assense them? Why and/or why not? |
