Well as farly new to SR, I made my first seriour character a mage... and I left intuition at 3 and assensing at 1. Ok, never do the same mistake as me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
well now I am in a situation when assensing becoming more and more critical, and the GM
is getting less lenient. So I want to ask you, are there any ways to help my poor Sonia(the mage's name) with assensing ?
of course with Karma available she will train it.
I was thinking about:
getting the drug Psyche (gives +1 to intuition)
getting help from friends (is it really possible ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
summon spirits and let the assense for me
Any other ideas ?

Having spirits assense for you is a good idea. Any spirit of force 3 or higher would be able to help you get by until you can raise your skill.

How is he making it more and more critical to assense, while being less and less lenient? While assensing is a useful skill, unless he's doing a ton of astral ambushes, or making it critical that you can read auras (both of which are pretty unfair if no one has a good assensing skill) you should be able to get by just fine.

Other than that, spend some time getting a high force spirit bound to you, and always have a swarm of watcher spirits (they may only roll two dice each, but several of them together will at least see something.

A sustained or quickened Increase [Intuition] spell. Its listed in the base book as Increase [Attribute] but learned as Increase [Intuition] or whatever stat that spell should buff. Its also targetable so you could buff a spirit with Increase [Willpower] or the team's Face with Increase [Charisma]. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
