This may end up getting shunted to the 2064 forum, as its somewhat related. I don't have the book yet myself, but I've reviewed some of the various topics we've discussed here, particularlly the new adept stuff.
Which raised the question to me: How does an Adept created under older rules keep up with the new bells and whistles new source material comes up with? Tech based runners can keep up to a degree since they can upgrade their old cyber for newer stuff. Though ultimately unless you get really good rolls on the surgery tables, you're still going to run low on essence. Adepts on the other hand, unless I've read the rules incorrectly, can't 'forget' powers they've bought, so unless they initiate more, they can't acquire the new stuff as easily. I guess as a side commentary, I also understand the need to come up with new material with new books, but I'm curious how long its going to be before the next source book has "Laser Death Eyebeams" as an adept power. |
