In reply to the question of magic loss from surgery, yes that was taken
into account. To add to the debate about hunting down super magical
people, ask yourself this. Are you in a hurry to gun down say, Arthur
Garrett, Mullins Chadwick, Daniel Howling Coyote (provided he's alive), or
even Lowfyr for that matter? Even in SR, most people aren't that stupid
and those that are usually end up dead. I agree that a sniper could end
things rather quickly, but that is quickly becoming an old and tiresome
excuse for wanting to bump off old characters. If a GM belives in the
"Gunslinger" method, then the character just keeps running into a drek load
of idiots and that gets tiresome too. If the character develops nasty
enemies on the other hand, it becomes an entirely different story. Its
true that being fast doesn't mean you can escape some things, but in SR
speed is still life. The point that I was trying to make is that some-
things are easier said than done.
