Anti-magic weapons and armor for mundanes, Rise of the Muggles Options

[Buster]

Here are some ideas I came up with for some house rules on anti-magic protection for mundane opponents of magic-wielding runner teams and for players who want to play mundanes.


Anti-magic weapons, armor, and gear:

• Shock weapons -- Shock weapons can bypass Immunity to Normal Weapons and can therefore be highly effective against spirits. Stick-n-shock ammo can be created for small arms like pistols and SMGs. (note: this is not necessarily a house rule, but the RAW is not clear on these points)
• Spirit bullets -- a spirit bullet is a normal bullet that has been possessed by a specially formulated spirit (usually a watcher spirit). Due to it's dual nature, the spirit bullet can impact mana barriers and magical armor at full effect. A spirit bullet does full damage against creatures with Immunity to Normal Weapons and can damage Wards. The possessing spirit has some measure of control over the flight of the bullet, so add it's Force to the dice pool for the ranged attack test.
• Enchanted laser weapons -- Before Frank Trollman wandered off to become a doctor, he mentioned that lasers could theoretically be an enchanted ranged weapon because it technically fits within the logic of the game universe. The light beam is still connected to the emitter the whole time it is fired, therefore it could be enchanted the same as a melee weapon. The enchanted laser weapon can't be used by true mundanes, but it could be used by adepts or spirit servants of mundanes. For example, you could have a spirit possess the enchanted laser weapon and a mundane could be given command over the spirit.
• Particle beam weapons -- using pseudoscientific mumbojumbo from the Ghostbusters movie, spirits are composed of a negative energy that can be disrupted by positive energy weapons. Very expensive and highly experimental, proton particle beam weapons are "pure mundane" weapons that require no magical help to create or deploy.
• Symbiotes -- Augmentation introduces genetically engineered living organisms that can be implanted in a humanoid host. Since the symbiote is a living creature, technically it can manipulate and generate magical energy. Symbiotes have been created that give it's host the ability to wield enchanted weapons (such as the enchanted laser weapon mentioned above) or produce a Magical Guard effect.
• Anti-magic coating -- Lunargent (alchemically purified radical silver) has been found to have powerful antimagical properties. Weapons (including ammo) coated in lunargent bypasses Immunity to Normal Weapons as well as magical barriers such as the Physical Barrier and Armor spells. Also, armor and dermal sheathing composed of a layer of lunargent reduces the Force of spells and magical powers (such as spirit Influence) by 1/2 the impact rating of the armor.
• Radioactive talisman -- radioactive materials produce not only radiation background counts, but also magical background counts. Carrying around radioactive materials creates a portable background count area extending out in a rating * 10 meter radius that disrupts spells and spirits (but not spells or spirits from toxic radiation traditions). Long exposure to a "radioactive talisman" requires frequent trips to a medical facility for treatment for cancer and other autoimmunity disorders.
