Alrighty guys I played some Shadowrun after a long layoff played in two missions games which were a blast, I was going to play by nomral Slick talking Subductor Con Artist but after realizing the party was full of Mages and Faces and *cringe* elves... I decided to just play my Bullet Depository Orc Adernaline Junky.... and watch the mages take over EVERYTHING... and made me started to wonder... the first time a party is on a RUN and there is a mage.. the first thing everybody says "Geek the MAGE!" It got me to thinking... i hate mages.. and i think a good character to bring into the game would be *drum roll* a burn-out anti mage.
So Basically i was pondering.. what is a good build to Geek the MAGE! |
