I have a character named Shade who I have played in around 300+
adventures. She has been through more shit than you could believe.
This is the character that her essence increased. I have had to retire
her to NPC playing because she got so powerful. But she was my first
girl that I had played in SR and was just really a tough sam. It worked
out nicely. Anyway, I thought it was fun. Luckly, never any romantic
entaglements...

Here's an idea for you guys to chew on: How about increase of essence w
ith the expendature of 50 karma? I used a different method but do you
think that would work?
