One of my players recently got her character geeked and needs a new runner. She came up with a new concept after a quick perusal of some internet resources. During her research she came across the following spell - VCR emulation.
VCR Emulation Now this is clearly a custom spell and not canon, but it raised an interesting question. If there are magical deckers (Otaku), where are the magical riggers? Every other aspect of magic in SR apears to come in pairs:- Spirits/Elementals Nature&Man spirits/Insect Spirits Toxic/Non-Toxic Mages/Adepts Hermetics/Shamans Astral Plane/Matrix If the VCR emulation is deemed a permissible spell how would it be implemented as an Adept ability? We have compared similar items in terms of game balance cost, these were Increased Reflexes and VCR cyberware, both of which have the same essence cost to install. So if we took the same powerpoint cost for Increased Reflexes and used it for the new power VCR Emulation it would cost 2.00 - Level 1 emulation 3.00 - Level 2 emulation 5.00 - Level 3 emulation As to the general rules concerning this new type of adept, we were thinking of initial play-testing using the Adept of the Magician's Way archetype switching the Magic Point power for VCR emulation power. Do any of you have some CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISM, better ideas or just a decent name? Migger (Magical Rigger) is starting to get on my tits. |
