Unhappily, I skimped on Complex Forms. Happily, they are not expensive to buy...especially when you can summon and register sprites to teach you.Thanks for this! It's given me a lot to think about.Edit - You know...if I ditch Natural Hardening, which seems overpriced at 10 karma for a relatively narrow application, I am within a stone's throw of affording Exceptional Attribute which I could use to raise my Logic to 7...get a leg up on early hacking until I can afford some of the sprites and skills and qualities that I'd need to go that way.A stone's throw being 4 karma shy. Hm. It feels a little like dirty minmaxing, but then again...being the annoying smartypants IS the concept.HMM.Blah. Nah. I'm not going to go grubbing for negative qualities just to score a few points. It's fine. I don't have to be hyper optimized.One question though. Reviewing Complex Forms, I'm not sure Transcendent Grid is a good choice, at least to start. To be fair, I'm fuzzy on how grids work, but something with more broad utility like Resonance Veil or Puppeteer would probably be a better starting purchase. And it'd give me more time to learn the system from experience.What is your take on Resonance Veil, by the way? What can be done with it? What can't be? The description is very...open to interpretation.</blockquote>
