So I have been exploring some old threads today and I came up with this potentially game changing idea.
What if there is a Rigger Mage who construct a drone and calls a Spirit to INHABIT THE DRONE?!
Yeah that will take care of spirits mucking around with the drones wouldn't it? Plus that gives each drone Spiritual Powers!
So say you have an army (100+) of such spirit inhabited drones. You wouldn't actually have to control them directly as the inhabited spirits are already controlling those drones. And the spirits can communicate with each other and the PCs via the communication devices inherent in each drone. Thus allowing for the PCs to create an army of intelligent, PC-like soldiers.
I shiver at the mayhem.
