For those who remember 1E Shadowrun, there were a few things I liked, and which I found absent at around 3E. The first was Anchoring -- you might have seen it in 3E and 4E as a one shot type of thing, a fetish where a detection spell triggers an effect. Each time it's triggered, it needs to be re-enchanted to ensure it can work again.

Well, in 1E, it was re-usable. This was, essentially, a form of enchantment: If X happens, then do Y. The thing is, if spell Y had Concentration, it could remain active as long as X was occurring. If Y didn't have a duration, it would trigger once, but each time the detection spell 'pinged', then it would trigger again. It was a really nifty thing, and one I enjoyed quite a lot. I'm really hoping it comes back at some point.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Edit: Removed thoughts on Combat Spells -- I missed that they fixed that with 4E. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Silly me.
