My friend Keith (the OTHER Shadowrun GM back home) and I noticed something
kinda glaring about the SR archetype creation rules. Metahuman mages get
the shaft in a BIG way. Ever tried one? Once your 4 priority is gone (for
race) and your 3 as well (for magic), you just don't have much left.

We talked about it and came up with a solution: magically-active metahumans
get _two_ rating-2 priorities. That's 4, 3, 2, 2, and 1. What does the
assembled populace think? It seems to work fairly well in our campaigns....

BTW: This _is_ my first post, so I may not have the right to say this, but
_please_ put your flamethrowers away, guys.... :( Enough already.
