Question #1
>If the Magician has a concentration(s) under sorcery, would
>an ally then created also have these concentrations and/or
>specializations?

Question #2
>Can you ground down an Astrally Projecting Person the same way
>you can attack down a foci. Here's my reasoning:
>Yes- Damage done to one form is felt/inflicted upon the other.
>No- If you move a magician's body, they must succeed in a test
> to re-locate their body. Therefore how could there be a link
> of any worth if the magician could not use it to avoid this
> test?

Question #3
>Do you folks believe you could design a sustained Combat Spell?
>My reasoning is because I want to develop a Sleep spell that only
>affects the target(s) while the mage sustains it. If it wouldn't
>qualify under Combat, would I then have to default to Damaging
>Manipulation? What sort of drain would you calculate it to be?

Question #4
>Could you develop a spell to basically negate the hypersense
>spells under the Detection Catagory? What catagory would they
>fall under. Once again, here is my reasoning:
>Illusion: The power to 'deceive' the hypersense.
>Manipulation: Air which is linked to Detection, clashes with
>> Earth which is linked to Manipulation.
>No "it could be either" responses please, to me this is obvious
>but I'd like to nail it down to ONE catagory.

Question #5
>Has anyone run with the idea of a Rigger equivalent of a "Ghost
>in the Machine"? As in, a rigger dies which 'rigged in' and
>keeps his/her sentience/personality via the autopilot of the
>vehicle. (assuming the vehicle has a decent autopilot).

Question #6
>How long (time) do you folks charge your player to raise a skill?

Question #7
>Since Bonelacing affect Unarmed attacks, and Cyberspurs qualify
>as Unarmed, would you then deduce that Bonelacing affects Spurs?
