:BTW, has anybody noticed the change in the Drain table for Spirits? The

Drain

:wanted to fix?


I seem to recall its physical if the spirits force exceeds magic
rating; charisma just determines drain LEVEL now. So, unlike before, you
could now take light physical or deadly stun drain from conjuring,
depending on sprit force and conjurer charisma and magic.

I think it was something to do with stopping the Cyber-Conjuring
adept, in SR2 magic rating had little to do with the actual conjuring,
so as long as the conjuror had an active magic rating of 1 or more he
could conjur as much as e wants to. IE imagine wired 3 on a conjuring
adept, zoom goes first and whips up a little nature spirit to smash the
badguy before they can even blink. etc etc
