today while perusing various sourcebooks and prepping a run.
(1) Unliving objects get no spell resistance against magic. If the magician
succeeds on a Sorcery test, the spell takes effect. If that's so, is there
a single reason in the world to take any Wreck <Object> spell at a Force
greater than 1?
"The Azzie light tank rumbles towards you."
"I cast my Wreck Tank 1 spell. <rattle of dice> Yep, spell successful."
"Okay, the tank is toast."
Just... doesn't seem right somehow, does it?
(2) According to Shadowrun 2nd ed. main book, orks live 35 to 40 years.
Now, that rule is conspicuously absent from Shadowrun 3rd, but there's
nothing to replace it.
Now, we look at Yamatetsu's new boss, Yuri Shibanokuji. According to
Corporate Download, he goblinized in 2021. It's now 2062. He's been an ork
for 41+ years. Is he at death's door, or did FASA/FanPro change the ork
length of life on me and I didn't notice?
