I have always assumed that when a Mage, Shaman or Technomancer loses Essence, Essence caps his Resonance or Magic attribute. But I have been reading the books and I can't find this anywhere.
Am I operating in an assumed fallacy? I only ask, because I recently obtained a copy of the DM Screens and the book that comes with it and upon pursuing the SR3 to SR4 Conversion rules, I came across the example of an Otaku that was being converted to a Technomancer. He had an Essence of 2.8 and therefore, could only have a Resonance of 2. he sacrificed 3 of his submersion grades to then raise his Resonance to 5. What I ask is, should I allow my regular players to raise their Magic and Resonance with karma, beyond the Essence rating? Anyone have the rules in a digestable and easily searched form to see if the RAW forbids this or not? All help will be greatly appreciated! |
