Okay, so let's say I have a character with Magic 5, Sorcery 4 who's a Mystic Adept. As he stands now, his sorcery pool is 9 dice, right? Right. So let's say he burns a point of Magic for Improved Ability (Sorcery) 4. He now has effective Magic 4 and Sorcery 8 giving him 12 dice.
Right? |

no.
first off, you're capped to half of the base skill on improved attribute (see the errata). secondly, iirc improved ability only works on certain specific skill types... magic ones being a type that i don't recall being included. |

i dont think you can enhance a magical skill with improved ability...
combat, physical, social and technical is listed in the description on page 187, but not magical... edit: heh, jaid was allready on the case... |

Yeah... You've never been able to use IA for magical skills.
Centering, OTOH... |

Odd thing, you can't be a taxi-driver adept. Like they don't exist even today :D .

IA drive would be a reasonable request to house rule in.
IA magical skills, I’m thinking not, although balance is the only reason I’m coming up with. Edward |
