QUOTE (Dolanar @ Jan 9 2013, 05:33 AM)  for what its worth, the problem for healing always seemed more of a Mana inhibition problem, the Cyber & the "unnatural" aspects in the body made it more difficult to allow the positive effects to work. It's always been nothing but a blatant "balance" hack, a way of saying "screw you, no magical friends for you" to those with augs. Which, really, if you're gonna have it be that way, fine, just make it consistant. Make it harder to attach negative mana and healing effects, too. If the soul is that hard to find because of all the augs, it should be hard to find for negative effects, too. |

Away from books now, but aren't all health spells harder to cast on low-essence targets, both positive and negative?

I do like the color of magic and cyber being somehow opposed. However, 'no healing' is a pretty heavy penalty for the cybered guy. My inclination would be to shift the penalty to something less damaging, such as time to cast or requiring a spell matrix or somesuch.
Alternatively, you could make cyber reduce the impact of ALL aura-affecting magics, but that might nerf magic to a large degree. |

I don't think it would nerf it all that much, since it is likely to be a dice penalty if done similarly to how Heal Works. |

QUOTE (DuckEggBlue Omega @ Jan 9 2013, 08:49 AM) but what I'd like is some rules in the book about running a 2050 game (assuming it's not compatible with 2050). Not heaps, maybe just a short chapter on fluff, feel and gear/magic/ware limitations. I wouldn't want this in the core book, as a file on converting characters for the 2050's sure, but in core? No. For two reasons. First it might confuse newer players on when and where the game is set, it makes the product feel more scatter brained. Secondly, the same reason I don't want "before expansion XYZ" servers in MMOs. The timeline should continue moving forward and tell new stories, without the creators feeling obliged to please the crowd prefering the older stuff. With tabletop RPGs this is even more valid as the old stuff is still there as it was just in the days (while MMOs suffer from power creep and having higher level players around, making the experience "not the same") If you hate the rules you just use another ruleset and keep the fluff. Like when I decided I wanted to run bug city and did so in 4th. QUOTE Spell matrix We're in Earthdawn now? |

No. That one's solved with using consistent rules for any timeline, and production dates for gear. Well, maybe half a chapterette on structured networks and grounding.Sure, that Rating 6 custom commlink is becoming an Excalibur, but mechanically it's the same. BLAM.
