> IIRC, R:AS banded are initiates, for the most part. Thus, a combat
mage with 2.95 points of ccyberware and 3.8 body index and an initiate
grade of 3 would have an effective adjusted magic rating of 2. If this
is the case, look up the rules for initiate grades in MitS (SR3) or
Grimoire (SR2).

Actually, Mark, he'd be dead.

Don't forget, people. Bioware doesn't just reduce the magic rating for
a magically active character. It also reduces ESSENCE. Your example
mage, Mark, has a combined essence loss of 6.75. He die-ed!!
