Ok -- Thanks everyone for figuring out WHY it was I posted my "Have you seen"
message.

I didnt so much care if you like / dislike the book, but wanted to open the
discussion on if negative ess. characters / rules from that book should /
could be included into shadowtk.

I would like to consider the conversation to be open.

I dislike the idea and pretty much HATE the book. Too much filler (some
like the story / comentary, I didnt. Looked like filler to me. It could
have been better compressed and presented) for my tastes.

Someone made a comment about being harder to hit with spells, well,
at that point, I consider the 'bot to be a wall. Allowing wrecker and
ram to ground out quite happily. If a person of flesh and blood has
no soul, thats different (there is at least one character here who is running
a nega-adept (dont ask me to tell you where its from, I dont remember)) but
someone / thing that is mostly metal and chrome? Hell, its a car, treat
it as such.

And, yes, having looked over a lot of it, it would be totally easy for one
really chromed out neg-ess bad ass to bring a balanced group to its knees.
Most of the people I run in my games dont have the contacts to get enough
APDS or DPU rounds to slow down something that doesnt feel pain.
