• Mechanics Thread I  + (So I have a character in the works that id … So I have a character in the works that ideally will have 20 Karma after I've finished with the Qualities. Now, seeing as how I intend to play the char a changeling, I want to know whether or not I need 30 Karma just to trigger Surge III? I'm picking the Changeling Qualities myself, but in the end, I still have 16 (or 20, depending on whether or not I decide to choose one of them) Karma points to spare. Now, the question is, do I need 30 Karma points going into the changeling if I'm going to have 10 points spare going out regardless?</br>Furthermore, I also wanted to make something to stand out, and so wanted to combine the Dermal Alteration with dragon scales in combination with Striking Skin Pigmentation, Unusual Hair and Bioluminescence. The only thing is, the game claims you can't mix neither the Dermal Alteration nor the negative quality Scales with other qualities that change skin (which ended with me picking Insectoid Features, namely carapace because that doesn't clash with anything but does the same thing as Scales would). Personally, I don't see how this would affect purely cosmetic stuff such as radically changing pigmentation or making it glow all pretty-like, and reckon that it's more aimed towards the Dermal Deposit quality, but the guys in chargen won't let me combine the dragon scales or the standard scales with the cosmetics. Any chance to either interpret the rules a bit freely or just make a GM exception in this case?</br>Regardless of the verdict, cheers for reading!rdless of the verdict, cheers for reading!)

Does that mean that this plant life has an astral form that can be detected through assensing? If so, the availability 10F biofiber pocket would give away its own illegal existence, as well as being a big neon sign saying 'search me, I'm hiding foci!' to any assensing security mage or spirit.
