I had a player who played a shaman, a grade 6 initiate equipped with 2 spell
locks and a rating 2 power focus. Only another initiate could touch her, but
that was hardly likely to happen (I'm not the kind of GM who nukes a spell
lock "just because it's not masked" -- I did keep the player on his toes
about what he masked, though). When I dumped them into Chicago and the bugs
appeared, the first thing he did was switch off all foci :)
