detailed in the NERPS -- Shadowlore base in the itribe-webpage. ( I think
I used all the correct compuspeak... ) It sounded cool (had a weakness
for halflings as a young D & D'er... ) so I went with it.
The issues I want to bring up here (hopefully it won't spiral into
a discussion like the "Free Spirits" as characters one, but if so, sobeit.)
... A) 'illusionist' adept: not 'sorcerer' adept. can only use illusion
spells, therefore gains a little leeway from DMs in terms of force of
spells and special spells... (see revised Rosha description forthcoming)
B) problems with an adept with cyberware: Rosha's knack is physical
penetration (get your minds out the gutter! :) ) of a target and
accessing the target matrix from inside (thus avoiding lots of ice and
using someone else's passcodes...) To this end, she has a datajack and
headware memory 60 mp. Functions basically as a tortoise. Other
cyberware for recon purposes and athletic purposes : balance augmentor and
spatial recognizer. Total Essence loss = 1 pt.
C) Initiate 2: B/c she is a subset of 'sorcerer' she still has no
access to astral plane. Therefore, she can only use Shielding and Masking.
and she cannot penetrate other Initiate's masks.
D) Personality: since the confident/flirtatious has been done. I'm
thinking friendly, trusting, ingenue (that's right I used an SAT word!)
type in social situations who clams up and gets the job done on a run.
Developed a couple background twists to surprise yall during gameplay,
but I still wanna make sure the details on this character pass the
existing DMs test. (Generally, think Mother Theresa with a calculated
edge for power and you start to get an idea... )
til next time
