Don't forget to stack Improved Invisibility on top. And proper Infiltration skill.

If Phys Mask for whatever reason is no good, use Trid Phantasm. You have lots of options, though they are *appropriately* inconvenient.

Well, I think the astral visibility of an active spell kinda removes the effect of the concealment power.

What is the kinetic energy of a pixie?

Lets say that we shrink down a normal weight human from 180 centimeters and 90 kilos of weight to 1/4 of that to simulate the size of a pixie.

22,5 Kilograms and 45cm tall.

Pixies can 'run' while in flight at 50 meters per turn. That's 16,7 meters per second. Kilometers per hour becomes (16,7*60) *60 which becomes 60,12 kilometers per hour.

What's the kinetic energy of that?

It doesn't work like that: weight depends on volume, which is size^3. Divide size by 4, divide weight by 64. Realistically, it should even be less than that: lighter animals tend to have a slender build since their bones have less weight to support.

This leads me to another question. What is an average attribute for a being with maximum body and strenght of 3?. I mean 1 is minimum, 2 would be average, 3 a tiny version of arnold schwarzenegger in conan the destoyer? I know the game mechanics are not build for pixies, but an interesting question anyway. Besides the look at rating 3 attributes, what about the weight? Are there any official sources? Can a body 3, strenght 3 pixie sit on the shoulder of an troll or big ork without causing problems to the carrier? I think about masking as an emotitoy or pet and 50cm is small but not THAT small.

50cm is about the size of a newborn. Babies are usually between 3 and 4 kg but they are fat. 3kg for a strong pixie sounds about right.

I'd love to see the security footage of a cybered up troll running full pelt down a hall.. only to have its feet run out from under him as a Adept Pixie specializing in wrestling clotheslines it. Audio is a must so we can hear the Pixie taunting the troll.

So, other than simply to be a cheese-ball character with human physical stats and pixie non-physical stats, what exactly is your reasoning for this ability?

Well, if you would allow me to play a Vampire/Nosferatu in your game without the racial prejudice, and exchanging Allergy(Sunlight) to Glamour, I'd be almost tempted to play it. Almost. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
