After being informed about Infusion Foci from my last thread, I borrowed SOTA:64 and MITS from my GM before he went out of town. In SOTA:64 it mentions two new foci for Adepts: Infusion Focus and Adept Focus. In both descriptions, it mentions the total number of powers an Adept can have active at one time...
Now, I've looked through SR3, MITS, and SOTA:64 and I can't find any reference to a "total number of powers an adept may have active at one time." Any insight? Thanks! -Mr. Sinister |
