Hey Everybody!

What do you think about using spirit "movement" power on vehicles?

On one hand it seems ok to allow a shaman to use this tric for escaping from
caps, or something. But on the other, it could unbalance the very idea of
comunication in sixth world

With a really fast car you can almost break a sound barrier, and what about
plaines.
Think of a jet plains enhanced with force 6 spirits !!!

Lear-Cessna Platinum II would be able to make 11.520 km/h !!!
Federated Beoing Eagle - 12.960 km/h !!!


Any comments?

The Movement power description in Critters (the book that comes with the
SR3 GM screen) says you roll an Essence test vs. the vehicle's Body,
multiply the vehicle's Acceleration by the successes, and then speed up or
slow down the vehicle by the result the next turn. This removes the problem
you referred to almost entirely.

One of the books (I don't remember which, perhaps Rigger 3) clarifies
this. A spirit's Movement power increases the Acceleration of a Vehicle,
not its speed - so that car or jet can get to its maximum speed in the
blink of an eye, but it can't actually go faster than it can go on its
own.
