Hoi, chummers. I'm a Japanese shadowrunner living in Yokohama.

I'm novice to the list so I don't know wheter this question has been
answered here before. (I guess it very likely to have..) I'll be very
glad if someone answers.

Is Increase Reflexes spell cumulative with physical adept's Increase
Reflexes dices?

I saw someone else answer this but I don't think it was a very detailed
answer.

No. As I understand it, no category of reaction/initiative increase is
cumulative with the others (except for cyber/bioware which increases Reaction
directly, or magic spell which accomplish the same task). Basically, you can't
get more than 4 dice to roll for initiative.

Boosted, Wired, Synaptic Accelerator, Increase Initiative (spell or ability)-
none of these work together.

Well, I have never seen any mention of the opposite, The Incr.
Reflexes spell descr. states that in can be used on non-cybered
individuals. In my book this means that Phys. Adepts can use
it as well as Incr. Reaction.
This is the least they can have for all the cyber they are
missing out on.

The only Physical Adept power that i've found not beeing compatible with inc
rease ... is the attribute boost. I think that INCREASE REFLEXES from a Physica
l Adept are compatible with the spell Increase Reflexes. U just have to find a
magician who is willing to have a spell lock or quickned spell on on other pers
on (i think it's dificult), or u must find someone do cast ritual sorcery on u.
