Greet's Chummers....
I think I'm the only Decker/Mage on this Net...And so I will awnser
the question that was posted about Us....I Total Disagree with the rule
in the Virtual Realities...Because it was made for what they think is
game balance..Any one who has tried or has made a Decker/Mage know that
this is not need...One, if this rule was true then all Deckers should get
a penalty...Because your going from your real perpective to an artifical
one...The rule might work if a strate Mage what to become a decker later..
But you have to have Make your char. as a Decker/Mage...A Decker/Mage
is a specialist...They Constrate or Specialize in to certin Skills, becaus
you are spliting your skill points in half...My char. is a Spellcaster/
Decker...I can't summon with out dangers and can't make a Deck worth Shit..
While a Decker can make a Deck and deck with it...And a Mage can Summon
Ally...Also I lose at min. One point of Magic..So I'm not as Powerful as
most Mage..Intill I become a Initiative, In any case I'll still be less
powerful....
So After all thouse Neg. Why put more on me???I don't know...
The Pros. are few...I can Protect my meat with out Sams or Mercs, I
can play only any serface, I can steal spells from any data base (ok, most),
And that's it...I'll never be the Greatest Decker or The Greatest Mage..
But I can do a hell of a lot more...If a party need a decker when they
don't have one, I can run the nets...If they don't have a Mage I could
do that.....So that's my spule about Decker/Mages.....

What Do you guys think about a Decker Adept????????????
