who says that the resonance doesn't touch a new realm of horrors? Ones that were never contacted before because they didn't have technology high enough. Maybe something truely alien?

[TheOOB]

Heres the real question, if a technomacer magician existed, could they use magic in the matrix and complex forms in the astral? That would be pretty screwed up.

THAT WOULD ROCK!

Poor little sprite looking for hosts. :D
Poor spirits trapped in a machine. :(

Ancient beings the exist in one of the Outer Metaplanes they come to Earth when the Mana Levels get high enough and destroy/eat/corrupt everything that doesn't have the good sense and enough magical might to run away and hide in the smallest darkest corner they can find and pray to whatever Gods might listen that their hiding place isn't discovered before the Mana Level ebbs again.

They are a huge part of Earthdawn, aka the Fourth Age and they will come again and destroy whatever puny resistance meta-humanity is able to muster.

*Edit*

And appearently according to something I read on the forums Big D had some concern that with the invent of technology people wouldn't be able to hide this time around. If he was right then and meta-humanity is forced to fight instead of running, then those who die in the first wave are very likely the lucky ones, at least in my opinion.

dionysus, I'd suggest using the search function for info on the horrors. There's plenty of it on the forums, and it'd be eaiser than having the old arguements all over again. If you still have questions, start a thread about it. We'll answer.

I have to wonder...

How would the Horrors (whose stats I am unaware of, but whose reputation I am getting to be quite familiar with) deal with a Thor shot, an orbital laser, or even an assault cannon? Because, admit it, any critter that might be really intimidating to a stone age metahuman wouldn't be too intimidating after a lethal case of lead poisoning. And they can't be that powerful--the dragons all got through the last Age without too much trouble, as did all of metahumanity, so either:
A) They aren't as badass as they've been made out to be
OR!
B) They are that badass, but their abilities/numbers are limited.

Because, honestly, the way I've been hearing about these things, they sound like a merging of the Predator aliens, the hunger of the Xenomorphs, and the general undefeatability and numbers of the Borg, all rolled into one big Nasty.

(on that note, would someone terribly mind giving those of us who don't have hard data on the Horrors some bones (i.e. some stuff from the sourcebooks) so we have something to chew on? I've looked in all the local stores and nobody has any copies, and the few I've found on eBay have the shipping so high that I'd rather save the money for other things)

[fistandantilus4....]

This is precisely why I mentioned to Dionysus that he could start another thread for horror questions. This is a very different topic, and could still have some ground for discussion, and I don't want the horrors to take this thread over to. :)

So, if anyone has horror questions, please start another thread.

The way I imagined a Dragon Technomancer is one whose resonance replaces his magic. I don't think it should ever be possible to have both magic and resonance, even for a Dragon. But I would love the idea of a Dragon in the machine.
