Hello !

I have thought about some questions which I would like
to have answered. Maybe some of them are considerable
to the third edition SR3!

1) Watchers have a base time of 120 minutes to find
people, (IMO: astrally) known by the summoner. A
sorcerer travelling astrally has just the role playing
chance to find someone. And now for the question ...
Are watchers better at finding people than his master ?

2) How long does initiation take ?
I think it should take at least 1 day per grade if
no quests are wanted.

3) In my opinion the damage from falling is too harmless!
One Character jumped out of a window and missed the rope.
So he was falling 14 Meters (ca.42 ft) down on the street.
He had to resist 6T (7T-halve impact armor) and got only
medium damage. I think there should be at least some
broken bones if falling such distances! I suggest the power
should no be halve hight in Meters. Better take just the
hight itself!
What do you think ?

4) When does the bonding from a focus break ? A thief
stole two spell locks and a force 2 power focus. I
could not find a rule what exactly must happen to break
the bonding! Is it enough to seperate the focus (what
distance?) from the wizard or be there be something
magical?

5) If the bonding was not broken shouldn't it be very
simple for the sorcerer to track the astral trace back ?
How does a hermetic circle or ward disturb the astral
line ? Any ideas ?

6) And now for something completely different ;-)
Which modifiers conzern an attacker shooting out of a
driving car shooting someone running from it ?
(A Chrysler-Nissan Patrol-One driving at 25 mph through
a park hunting the _poor_ shaddow runners running away!)

7) I found in VRII that the damage codes have the following effect:
L - 1 box
M - 2 boxes
S - 3 boxes
T - 6 boxes

Is it a printing error or didn't I got the idea ? (I'm sure you
have disussed this earlier, haven't you ? )

thank you for your effords of answering me !

Sandman
