Half magic is out of the Adepts way i think. Elabourated on elsewhere
i think.
The roll is perception plus half adepts circle rounded up.
its used for all those minor things an adept should be able to do
that the talents don't cover. Cleaning weapons, knowledge of
discipline etc, a good catch all, 'i know you can do that but the
rules don't cover it, ok half magic roll'. Better than T$R's floor to
through the ceiling rules approach (complete with holes you can fly
starships through) i wonder why i prefer FASA :)
