Err... It wasn't my problem.. read the previous post that I
included? My adventures are mage *LIGHT*. Mages are a lot easier to
kill in other RPGs, with none of the shields and garbage that SR give
their mages.. (In my own RPG, I *think* that I've finally got the ropes
on the mage..)

Though your character concepts are pretty interesting, the fact
still remains that Magic is rather unbalanced in SR. If a mage don't
wanna get hurt, he won't get hurt.. unless another mage can fight him.
So I really can't see the relevance of this response? =)
Heheheh... And I've seen some Elves with some pretty crappy
charismas. I'm even playin one in a PBeM. =) It's all snide remarks and
pretty (oops... I mean petty ;) ) fun.
