3. Regarding spell blades from 192 SG: What spec do they use as they fall under more then one weapon skill like Clubs or Blades skill? Does Powerblade have a -AP = force like other combat spells? Does ManaBlade just do nethits in DV like the manabolt spell? User (talk) 21:18, 16 November 2017 (PST)

6. Necro Mages summon spirits with Ritual Spellcasting. Can they therefore take Dedicated Spellslinger at no penalty other than not being able to take Reckless Necro Summoning? User (talk) 21:18, 16 November 2017 (PST)
7. How does being an adept and initiating into Divination work? (SG p.147 and p.124) It says you're supposed to learn the Augury and Sortilige (p. 124) ritual first, but that ritual doesn't have the adept tag. Is there a way to use that ritual as an adept, or would I just skip straight to the metamagic? I ask because Ashe is a follower of Oracle, and followers of Oracle are required to take Divination as their first initiation. User (talk) 21:18, 16 November 2017 (PST)
8. Regarding the Chaos mentor spirit: Can one take 2 levels of Improved Potential for the same limit? I'm inclined to say yes, both because specific beats general, and the Improved Potential description could be interpreted to just mean you can buy the power 3 times.

9. this is awkward to ask but there 4e rule about using material links in place spotter, there no rule about it in 5e but there so few material link rituals that you can count them on one hand, and only 2 of them maybe useful on inanimate objects, Smudging/Augury and sortilege. what i trying to ask is that can a person use material links in place spotter on ShadowHaven. Here it taken from the book "During ritual spellcasting (p. 174, SR4), in instead of using an astral spotter, the ritual team may opt to use a material link to target the spell. This is particularly useful when sending a spotter may be impossible or impractical (for example, when the spotter doesn’t know where the target is, or when security measures prevent the spotter from getting into a position to assense the target)." 28 street magic
10. RAW a gun can't take Powered Breakdown and Chameleon Coating. Coating a gun in fancy paint and taking it apart don't seem like mutually exclusive things, especially when most vehicles can do it. Mike the kangaroo (talk) 23:09, 17 November 2017 (PST)
11. looking at the Animal Availability and is there any way to get a raven or something as well a cost for buying and getting chimeric modifications? edied:And does Potent Venom 172pHS work with Venom 173p HS HiddenBoss (talk) 10:44, 19 November 2017 (PST)
12. Can we get a house rule about using Arcana so people make their own spell formula then just buying them if they wish to. HiddenBoss (talk) 10:13, 20 November 2017 (PST)
13. Securetech PPP: Vitals. The leg and arm kits specify that they can't be combined with any full body armor, meanwhile the vitals kit just says "full-body armor, armor vest and armor jacket" which could be interpreted to only mean the specific armors from CRB. Please tell me that we aren't gonig with that interpretation and that a vitals kit is incompatible with all sorts of armor jackets (wild hunt, big game hunter, etc), yes?

14. Drug overdose rules. CRB calls out "shared effect" but gives limited examples of what that entails. Obviously stuff like attributes do, and init dice and such. Could we have a bit of a clarification on what things don't trigger OD? Edge cases that come to mind are stuff like Limits, High Pain Tolerance and Anvil mentioned the flat init bonus from K-10 in conjunction with Init dice. 89.160.182.117 08:55, 21 November 2017 (PST)
15. Syntskin masks. Do the things specified in Hard Targets (biometric reader or a software test) provide a threshold for noticing that the user is wearing a disguise or are they strictly a dice pool bonus to a disguise test that would provide the threshold? I.e. is a disguise test _required_ in order for the mask to function as a disguise? 89.160.182.117 08:55, 21 November 2017 (PST)
16. What's the availability and cost of a ritual formula?
17. Can you get a Concealable Quickdraw Holster for Shuriken? For example, a concealed bandolier of knives.
