Just the thing I wanted to hear...
Think about it, James...the Path of the Burnout... losing your magic, the
fear that, while you become stronger physically, your magic becomes weaker,
'til it's there no more...
Right?
Wrong.
You know what I'm talking about. I'm not saying that with REAL roleplaying,
you can justify most cybermods on a mage. Hell, if the roleplaying's there,
you can pretty much justify everything.
But how many "abusers" take the Burnout route? Close to none. Do they feel
the power in them slowly ebbing away? Hell no, I just need a couple mroe
karma for Initiation number X and I'm set for another leg...
A true roleplayer will fear cyber (if he plays a mage/shaman, of course),
because it will lead to burnout... Eventually, you'll lose it. If the guy
plays with this fear, and enhances the playing experience for the group, I'm
all for it...
But will you always get those players in your game? Sadly, no... you'll get
the munchie who doesn't care, 'cause he gots 3d6 ini now...
