I'm still a noob at Shadowrun having been on only a dozen or so missions. My question regards Astral Projection. I simply can't imagine a situation in which Projecting would EVER be a good idea...
1) Your body is vulnerable. You have to leave it somewhere safe. There aren't too many safe places during a mission. 2) There is no way to sneak. Anyone who is perceiving Astraly can see you and throw spells at you. 3) Throwing spells of your own risks physical drain. 3) Wounds to your spirit also wound your body. So why do it? Can you guys tell me about a mission that you were on in which you made effective use of Projection? -Z |
