I've seen plenty of mages without it.
Dedicated spellslingers, people who just don't want summoning, character that don't trust spirits.

^ Same
axiomshift - 06/09/2018
I mean then they are mechanically wrong essentially.

Also, I think all this theorycraft talk is cheep ^w^ let's see ya pull it off, @axiomshift
axiomshift - 06/09/2018
I've played them too but spirits are what they are
ChopperSniper (Paz) - 06/09/2018
...uh, mechanically wrong?
axiomshift - 06/09/2018
My current character that ismt built for this at all
ChopperSniper (Paz) - 06/09/2018
Because that's not mechanically wrong.
RPG Man o War - 06/09/2018
Doesn't ahve to be one you submit
axiomshift - 06/09/2018
Gets like
RPG Man o War - 06/09/2018
Just proof of concept
ChopperSniper (Paz) - 06/09/2018
That's a decision they're free to make.
Summoning helps. But it is not needed for a good mage.
jag (Ranger, Carbon) - 06/09/2018
you don't ever need 70 soak anyways tbh. 40 something and a decent edge pool will literally get you out of anything if you aren't eating rockets every other round
RPG Man o War - 06/09/2018
Make a character, from chargen, that actually manages to get the numbers you're talking about
ChopperSniper (Paz) - 06/09/2018
What jag said.
axiomshift - 06/09/2018
It is essentially wrong from the purely mechanical standpoint
If looking for power
RPG Man o War - 06/09/2018
It's an RPG game, there is no wrong way to do things
axiomshift - 06/09/2018
Due to shadowrun making spirits ridiculous
RPG Man o War - 06/09/2018
That's a bad mindset to have about games that are supposed to be about playing however you want to play
axiomshift - 06/09/2018
I mean I'm just honest about what the game is.
It doesn't have much input on my chargen process.
But yeah
Current character
Without building at all for soak
Well
Focusing on it rather
She has some ware and adept powers
Gets like 7 + 12 + 15 + 7 + 14 if she spends a edge
And is still a really competent mage with other skills
Shadowrun let's you get soak pretty crazy high for very cheap
ChopperSniper (Paz) - 06/09/2018
Is this Spectre?
axiomshift - 06/09/2018
Yeah
ChopperSniper (Paz) - 06/09/2018
I'd honestly call "burned out for betaware hands/feet with armor 3 and a pain editor" building a bit for soak.
