I read on Ancient History's Page that if you get a hermetic seal on you, which, in reality, is just a ward attached to a tattoo, you can't astrally project out of it without first breaking through the ward. But the thing is, if you make a ward, you can allow whoever you want through it. What keeps you from doing this with hermetic seals? And could a person make a hermetic seal on himself and astrally project that way?
I'm sure that, under the new rules, this will be possible; magic seems to be getting more and more powerful and versatile, so I see no problem with this; thoughts? |

AH's creations are not canon rules by a long shot...
at best they are "pervertions" of existing rules in strange directions... |

I beg to differ. The Outlandish Artifacts, at least, are perverted items that can be quite canonically crafted. That was the point.

a personal ward? to me its stretching the warding rules so far its a hairline away from breaking...
just get a mana armor (personal range mana barrier) tattoed to your ass... less likely to send a GM to the mental ward... |

Meh. I've seen ward rules interpretations that make that little Hellblazer ripoff seem tame.
Anyways, no worries. They're all for 3rd Edition anyway. |

Wouldn't having a personal ward that walks around with you basically make you immune to magic? I would totally allow it, then give it to NPC's.

That's a permanent mana barrier. I am SO allowing this. It would, of course, destroy magic as we know it, but meh.

Destroy magic as we know it? That's a bit much. A "permanent" barrier is more than possible just using the Barrier spell and the Quicken metamagic. |

For now. With the impending Street Magic release SR4 will likely be graced with the divine presence of Imp infested AirJesus Sneakers. :D |
