My goal is twofold: first, to make augmentation more attractive, and second, to curb the power of magic at least a little.
The rule would be as follows: for each point of lost Essence (round normally, i.e., 1.4 round to 1, 1.5 rounds to 2) apply a -1 penalty to all magic rolls targeting the character. The idea here is that because magic targets the aura, it has difficulty when there's less of an aura to target. Yea? Nay? Game breaker? |
