Hey. I'm fairly new to SR4--I played SR2 a long time back and a little SR3 (on a MUSH, actually), and am trying to learn SR4. Been making a few example characters. I like the changes to cyber in general.
However, for a magician, 400BP just doesn't seem to -go far-. When I make a magician, I like having all the magical skills, and that, plus the magician quality, plus buying up magic, makes things really expensive. What would you suggest for a Magic attribute for a magician? 4? 5? Higher to 6, or lower? Is there any tricks or tips you can suggest for a new player who's playing with magicians at present? |
