|At the risk of being called an evil GM ... do you think it would be
|feasible to use a runner's kid as a material link for ritual sorcery?
|
|Going on the DNA theory, the child has at least PART of the father's DNA
|right? So there should be a flicker of a weak link there, and then of
|course there's the fact that the father/son emotional bond could act as a
|link.

Well... You can use things with strong emotional ties, or objects that have
been in close proximity to the character for a long time, like a wristwatch.
(That contains an aural echo).

|Anyone have any problem with there being a similarity (Is that the term?)
|link/connection between father and son?

Family/Emotional/Locational ties? I'd rule yes, unless he never met his son
before that day....

|Any suggestions for combining this with blood magic for a truly hideous
|ritual?

Oooooohohohooo.... You are being an evil GM....
Not one of Bulls kids though.... Pretty please?
:)
