sensible. I do note that all these characters appear to be living in
the Tir which is the first important point to survive there. They
will therefore have places to hide and local contacts.
Ah yes 'prisoners can be downright talkative' one of the reasons i
like sleep spells [never mind catching innocents does not matter and
lower drain!]

I keep on saying i want to run or play a low powered SR game sometime
but am not having any luck. One of my players just reached 250 good
karma [but only 13 pool as i stood on the advancement of those to
keep thing vaugely sane, it still goes too far]
No drain greater than L must be rather restrictive, or have you
permitted one or two 'self only' customisations so the utility spells
list at least is ok [i can well understand you not wanting sleep or
manabolts about compared to the rest you describe!, or was the gm
fair on this/ used it only to minimise the variety of heavier stuff]

again sensible when you can get away with it, though being an elf is
a huge advantage in Tir na Nog, which makes me think are you playing
elf 'A' others more metahumans?, it could be reasonably fair for a
Tir based setting given the racial bias.
