(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Given the current hit lists, I'm beginning to think the world is in need of an errata because negative talent sure as hell does not give a penalty. In the age of Jersey Shore and Justin Bieber, I think it's a bonus actually. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) I miss non-retractable spurs. Nothing quite says "stupid ganger" like non-retractable spurs. I also miss the Disregard spell. Disappeared after 2nd edition for being blatantly overpowered. Still, I liked it. |

Yeah, that was all kinds of silly. Have a spirit use it on you, and now you can't be touched. |

Actually it was a somewhat less invasive version. Alienation kinda made it like you didn't exist, which had some nasty side-effects like line of fire. With disregard, you were still visible and detectable, people just didn't notice you. It was quite literally an "I WIN" button for mundane stealth (TN4, double successes as TN to be noticed with Intelligence) and an entire party covered with it was akin to invisibility cheat codes in video games. Unlike Alienation, it could be beat by astral perception, grounding, dispelling and all that stuff, so it was a bit less OP. A tiny bit.
Though, after looking up the spell in my old Awakenings, what I really miss the most is the "major mojo" kind of fluff they put in these books. Stuff like Hatchetman's Cybermancy which creates a narrative inside the world that persists through several sourcebooks just made the world seem so alive... . |

Hatchetman is one of the best bits of fluff ever written for SR, because it outlines in stark first person just what it means to be a cyberzombie, and why even the craziest Street Sams walk the edge instead of going over.
So there's something I miss. The feeling that augmentation was risking your very spirit for power, especially given the chances of Magic loss on terrible wounds. |
