One of my player wants to play a Free Spirit and built it already. As a gamemaster I still have some questions in dealing with it.
1) Is it correct that the only attributes the player has to pay for are Force and Edge? Everything else rises automatically with Force (natural minimum and maximum of every attribute). If this is not correct, what is the reference for that? 2) It can't interact with VR and AR. Can it read displays (no e-ink (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) though? The sentence about that in the Runner's Companion is not really clear. If it can't read displays, would it be able to see for example a traffic light? If it can't read displays I'd really need a reference for that. 3) How can it interact electronically with the players? Can it use a commlink like a phone? 4) What can I do as a gamemaster to make life a little bit harder for the Free Spirit w/out racking up astral security too much? Not everything should have a ward, patrolling spirits, an on-site magician, bacterial containment grids and guns filled with FAB now. What standard security measures would there be anyway, that are effective against Free Spirits? I do not want to torture the player, just want to make it challenging for him, too. |
