| A samme isn't wielding the eldtrich(sp?) force of the cosmos like they
were
| juggling a few spheres. They need a gun! They need their cyber, they need
| all of their gear in order to cut it. Take it all away and you have a
normal
| kighly skilled warrior. Take away a mages gear, gun, and whatever cyber
he
| might have and he's still a mage capable of slinging spells like there
was
| no tomorrow. Each has his speciality every mage doesn't need to be a
combat
| junkie.

throw a mage mask on a mage and he's useless to. If you take all the cyber
and gear away from a sammie you don't have a sammie, if you take all the
magic away from a mage you don't have a mage. Mages need magic in the same
way sammies need cyber. Both can be neutralized. I've seen sammies that
could rip your freakin' head off with their bare hands. The point is that
they both have strenghts and weaknesses...that's why they are balanced.
