Title: Can you increase someone elses magic stat?
Post by: Senko on <03-21-21/2353:55>

Odd question but Ive been wondering is there any rules legal way to increase  stat specifically magic on someone else?

Player A
Magic 4

Player B
Magic 1

Player A raises players B magic to 2?

No, the rules provide no allowance for sharing or pooling chargen resources.

I can't see any way to allow that with game balance. There isn't a shadow of a doubt in my mind we'd see throw away characters lol.

basically.

I DID once run an "alternate" style Shadowrun campaign, briefly.  Team was smugglers rather than conventional shadowrunners.  I allowed them to pool resources towards the team's LAV.  Even that was not a good deal, as some paid way more than others, and felt screwed, and that probably helped the experimental campaign end in failure.

So no one to do it under the rules and the houserule attempt ended badly. Thanks.
