Oh hello Mr Nightstalker,
You may have guessed that I'm still falling face first over the rules, but hey,
that why I'm Reffing (hee hee hee). So keep on kicking me in the pants and I'm
sure it'll all work out fine.....really.....

Anyway anyone know the difference between UV and infrared and can they be used/
put in a cybereye ?

Ritual Circle - I too like the idea but image of it on a spell lock or Quickened
spell - not nice. (I really liked the Hats and Samis idea though !) *cackle*
I do this spell is very easily abused.
What might be better is using lodge/herm. materials and have it at a fixed
point (ie where you set up the temp. lodge) and have the spell substained.
Also instead of an instant lodge, perhaps a short time period (not real rules
but ..see above) divided by successes in a magical test ?

Oh Mr Hayden, the Sprite gooood image but can you have a roomsweeper (isn't a
shotgun ?) with a silencer ? I think he also need to hid his wings to get more
of a suprise value ( 'cos I'm sure some Ork would have to try to "Pull Da fairy
's wings off!")- I like him though.

- WHAT

Heeelllllllloooo Again Tyger ! I read it all then wept ! Hurra !

Yes, a shotgun CAN use a silencer with like effects. I've verified this a
while back with my brother, who is a Marine. It is even more effective if
using slug rounds instead of shot-rounds, but that isn't able to be
represented in SR very well.

If you look at his armor, you'll see that he has the 'armored jacket' AND
the 'armored underwear'. When wearing the jacket, his wings are
effectively hidden under it (and for all intents and purposes, he looks much
like a 3'5" child). To fly, he must remove the jacket, the underwear then has
cutouts for his wings.

There were some errors that were graciously pointed out to me.

1) I have a force 8 spell (through the use of fetishes and exclusivity).
This has been changed to force 6 (same restrictions) and the two points
are used somewhere else. Missed the little blurb limiting initial force.
2) I took 'Increase Attribute' as a generic spell not specifying an
attribute to raise. Silly me, I didn't read the fine print.
