Hmm a most interesting point is raised here. Would a GM allow the runners
to just knock some guard out and bring him along to help drain. Well I for
one would allow it. But!!!!!!! (important but here!), if they were to be say
from aztlan or amazonia(i believe they do it down there) the pc would not
gain all the benifits from the drain reduction, perhaps cut it in half, and
only for a select few spells. Now before the PC throws themselves into
coniption fits over this look at it this way.
1. The PC was among other blood mages and used to functioning with them and
those associated with blood rituals. Now he's out on his own with runners,
who more than likely fear Aztlan( I do!) and they have to worry about those
that see the blood magic going on AND if said PC can still do the blood
rituals( still fuzzy on some of the details my Aztlan sourcebook is buried
somewhere :( ) AND if they can get out alive.
2. Aztlan will never, ever, ever, ever, ever (is that enough evers?) allow
one of their own to escape into the other lands (ie UCAS,CF, god help us in
CAS ever gets a hold of one!) unscathed. If that runner were to be allowed to
escape, he would be harried, hounded, harassed, and generally, sought after
by ever resource the Azzies got.
Those pts in mind the PC would be resricted to spells, have to be soooo
careful of who, what, where,when, and why he casts them (cause in the shadows
you don't know who's watching!). This runner would probably suffer from a
paranoia flaw (Azzies are comin' Azzies are comin'!). Anything i missed?
