The description of the -2 dice penalty for physical, non-magical actions (SR4A p. 191) that comes while astrally perceiving doesn't explicitly say why this penalty is accrued. It has been opined on DS that it comes from the confusing, distracting, contradicting images from both astral and physical spaces.
The Adept power Multi-Tasking (SM, p. 178) allows the possessor to "simultaneously process information from multiple senses." Examples are given that show the Adept providing full attention to multiple sources of information. What are people's thoughts on whether Multi-Tasking overcomes the -2 penalty for astral perception? Near as I can tell, no FAQ or errata address this idea. |
