Background: Running SR4, not SR4A, and also have Street Magic. Girlfriend is making a stealthy mage with an emphasis on summoning & wants to make a variant on one of Mentor spirit archetypes for her character. Here's a quick summary:
Bakeneko Bipedal cat with a forked tail, trickster and chaser amongst spirits.
Benefit: +2 Summoning and Binding Tests
Disadvantage: Difficult to give up the thrill of conflict, must make a Willpower + Charisma (3) Test in order to wound to kill unless already wounded; as per the Cat mentor disadvantage.
Bad idea? Good idea? Reflavour and she's got a good idea?
