Has anyone else noticed that the metamagic Maksing just got a whole lot more difficult to penetrate in SR4 than it has been in past editions. If my memory serves me right, a big if on some days, the character trying to penetrate the mask had some kind of bonus based on their initiate grade. Now only the Masking character gets a bonus from their initiate grade. It also gives the masking character the option of assuming the appearance of a mundane or a magic higher or lower than it actually is, or an astral creature. I assume this means spirit, but is that only when you're astrally projecting? Does this mean you could pass yourself off as a dragon when in Astral Space :evil: ? I guess the game designers decided to make this ore powerful under this edition. However it doesn't cover foci or spell like it use to unless you also purchase the appropriate metamagic.
