]Anyhow: ON skills: (I hear a collective sigh)
]We once had a mage default from MAGICAL THEORY to STEALTH. He rolled upwards
]of 37 on that one. It was a fun explanation:
]"Remember when you stole your teachers spell book and hid in the dumpster for
]an hour? You just remembered it all..."
]He did it just to show that he could.

More like: "The somatic component of an invisibility spell involves a lot of

Just remember: In the basic book, it says quite clearly that the most direct
path is not always the one taken by the GM.
I had an idea, (Frightening, neh?) about the ultimate trick shooter...

]Cybereye, optical mag 3, display link
]Math SPU 4, Softlink 4 (With Geometry 6, Physics 6, Metalurgy 6, and firearms
] B/R of 6)
]And a Smartgun link.
]Working in concert (With an encephalon, natch.) you could careen bullets off
]of walls and HIT A GUY!
](The scene, a deserted street in Seattle. "Ok, yellerbelly. I'ma gonna shoot
]a bullet offan that church bell, into the bar there, knock the cap off'n that
]drink, then the bullet's gonna cut yer mohawk off'n that head of yours."
]>BANG< [GONG] /crash\tink/ ker-pow! )


More like: "Off the expressway, through that grove, off the cement parkway,
through the window, off of the wall, off the backboard, nothing but net."
