Do Shadowrun characters, particularly the awakened (including technomancerrs), understand the concept of karma "in character"? Players budget, save, and spend karma for their characters -- for things like spells, complex forms, bonding, binding, initiating, etc.. What do the characters think they are doing?
How do you handle this? Do your characters discuss karma costs? Do you use some kind of "in character" metaphor for karma? I used to think discussing karma was metagaming. Now I am not so sure. |
