PL6 90PP. Are you angry, VV?
Ok on the Ritualist. What about summoning? Any ideas for that?ok, first I need a primer on what you can do with astral projection in Shadowrun 4e. Can you cast spells while you do it? Can you affect the real world? If there is no great effect, perhaps we could declare it as super-movement (Dimensional Movement) 1 (2 PP) the the special effect, that you leave your real body behind.
Ritualist is: "Can do any effect with time and high enough skill roll." I don't think taht is very approciate for Shadowrun.
The main balancing factor is that you can only use one power at once. To mix and match, you would have to made them dynamic, costing an additional PP. So no protection spell, while flying, while blasting. I got around this limitation a bit, by making the summoning independent (extra).WD; (call me "PM" is fine)
Okay I understand Sorcery a little better and how you got Ignite.
The Alternate powers only cost 1PP. Is this because they are riding off Sorcery (having the drawback as well) and their level is based on Sorcery's Ranks of 6 x 2=12?
Then Invisibility is maxed at level 2
Mind Control is at 6, etc...
That would appear to be an easy way to get powers at cheaper cost, but it would appear to work. So at PL6 Sorcery would be max at 6. They we have a limit of AP to total 12 for all when countering with Cybernetic enhancements.
A Combat Mage could have quite the load of spells by spending 3 points on Sorcery and then 9PP on Spells. Or is there a limit to the number of AP you can obtain? I see Magic users needing to pump up their Will Save very high which has an additional cost I guess, maybe that's the balancing factor.
Okay I think I can make the NPC for the scenario. Thanks much!
Re: Drones;
Maybe they should be built like Devices. Spending the points on feats and equipment.
Drone Device 4 (3PP/rank, requires Datalink control so 20PP for attibutes)
Or Treat them like the Summoned Minion (4PP/rank; 2 +1 Heroic, +1 Fanatical, +1 Type Mechanical, -1 Requires Datalink to control)
What about that?
