1. How common is magic in Shadowrun? Statistically how common are the Awakened 1 out of every 100, 1,000, 1,000,000?
2. How common is magic in your games? Besides the one mage that almost all groups should have (or adept) how often do your PCs see others working magic? 3. Do any of you believe that there is some sort of Sorcery classes offered in grade schools to introduce them to the hazards of paranormal critters or the awakened? I know that there is college courses avail for the study of arcane, but would you think it would bleed into the lower grades? In all fairness I'll answer my own questions, but I'd like to hear your opinions as well. 1. I honestly do not know. That's why I asked. 2. In mine, very rare. When the Runners see magic used by their opposition they immediately flip into 'oh shit' mode and begin to formulate a plan to get rid of that guy as quickly as possible. They fear it, and they should. I think if it’s too common, it loses its zazz. 3. I think so, yes. Starting in about Jr. High School, and any child who has displayed magical aptitude is more than likely sent to a 'gifted' class. Discuss. |
