This is similar to my thread on drones. I know summoning spirits is an important element of effective Shadowrun play, but how do you utilize it most effectively?
So, here are my questions. What spirits are best for which common tasks? Is there any tradition that has a truly standout spirit list? What sort of tricks are available to get the most utility out of summoning, binding, etc? |
