We had a player once roll up a ghoul who was a Jahovah's Witness Amway salesman. We got the bounty on him before the first run.

QUOTE (SkepticInc @ Jul 12 2010, 01:42 AM) I just went with Ghoul ORK. I guess Magician ORK could be his brother. Sadly, I didn't intend the pop-culture reference; that would have been more creative. I'd hardly call the Orc/k "god(s)" from Warhammer pop culture. More info. http://warhammeronline.wikia.com/wiki/Gork_and_Mork http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Gork_and_Mork |

QUOTE (Deadmannumberone @ Jul 11 2010, 07:28 PM) 500¥ for the materials to bind a force 1 spirit, which a good mage with a binding focus should be able to get 6 or so services. and has 2 dice to 'observe' with, meaning just about anything could sneak past it, especially a duel natured creature who could see it. |

Well, it depends on what Obvious means, if it's actively watching, etc. There's a whole pile of Astral perception mods, we were discussing it in a thread last month.

Yes I know. By RAW its possible to stealth down a perfectly straight corridor lined with pressure sensors, motion detectors, camera's of every available spectrum of light, wide band radar sensors, and filled with all sorts of spirits looking for astral signatures, auras or anything else which shouldn't be there. Common sense on the other hand says such things are likely impossible. I'm more of a common sense sort of person. |

'Common sense' says that a dual-natured person can't just walk past a spirit whose job is to notice if people are dual-natured, either. It's not like it has to detect deltaware, just an Infected, dual-natured aura. *shrug*

Also moving in with a large crowd of people at one can obscure your aura, as well as any access to masking, or mental manipulation spells so it ignores you. |

Certainly there are things you can do, but it's hardly a non-issue.

Ha, you said 'just about anything could sneak past it'. I apologize for getting the wrong impression. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) by RAW if you have more then 6 dice in your stealth pool you're virtually guaranteed to be able to. Hence the latter comment about preferring common sense to RAW much of the time. |

Again, unless you take into account the situational modifiers. Not to mention the Stealth-on-Astral rules.

Yes, they are. I.e., it barely functions, especially if we're talking about a checkpoint (and I thought we were?). My point is that it all depends: a busy jungle path is very different from an empty facility.
