Hoi,

I just got the last issue of Challenge Magazine. And there is
something in there that is very disturbing. As you all probably know
Challenge always does some articles on Shadowrun, usually stories.
But this month they presented some rules for something they call
Nega-Magicians. And as the name implies they NEGATE magic. They have NO
Astral presence and they can NOT be affected by any sort of magic.
This includes healing, elemental attacks, and fireballs. They are very
adversely affected by cyberware and have to roll when they get cyberware
to see if they loose all there power. The idea seems plausible and IS
well explained. It follows upon the invincible fighter kind of legends.
But the whole idea of someone who is IMMUNE to ALL magic is ... well....
it just doesn't quite seem right. What does everyone think. I could
post the article if that would clear things up. Just let me know.
