ChopperSniper (Paz) - 06/09/2018

I've seen plenty of mages without it.

Dedicated spellslingers, people who just don't want summoning, character that don't trust spirits.

RPG Man o War - 06/09/2018

^ 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.
