I think he'll be fine, just a rough start.  Tink isn't worried at all, he just likes his toys.

Sorry for the miscommunication. I didn't want to suggest you quit, it's quite interesting having you. As for Diego... well, Draco is wary of him, but not enough to ditch him, especially if he makes himself useful. He won't hesitate to zap the hell out of you if you pull that shit again, however.

After marduk came in and things settled down i felt id gotten back some points during the batman conversation, and even the fake KE thing was fine up until steelfish revealing it was me, and that means my contact ratted me out to steelfish within an hour, so there's no point in the contact either.

at least my essence is low if you do.

[umraefein]

You did, indeed, get some points back. However, that was sorta offset by the whole KE thing. We'll get over it though.

Does that make a difference?

Does that make a difference?

you lose dice for every essence point gone on the target, it makes healing harder on us too and  believe you'll all ready be losing 2 dice for healing an augmented

[umraefein]

Really? That's weird... Even for combat spells?

It's possible that it's an optional rule that i just got used to every GM ive had using it, (I used to play mages) can someone confirm?

I think it atleast effects direct combat spells

It should be pointed out, as a bit of a non-sequitur, that people will tend to have an unusually strong positive first impression of Jimmy - the combination of the First Impression and Glamour qualities will tend to have an effect on how people perceive him.  That's where his Distinctive Style comes from - it's basically the polar opposite of what Richter has going on.

Diego's amusing, but that doesn't buy him extra tolerance for something like that.  However, he's not up the river yet - he just has to be smart enough to watch himself.

Actually, that only applies to healing.  Low Essence does not defend you against Combat, Detection, Illusion, or Manipulation spells.  Physical spells directly affect the Physical world, so Essence isn't in the equation.  Mana spells effect you regardless of cyber because by paying Essence for it you've made it integral to your self.

I continue to wonder where my gms got that from. they said it was because there was less person to aim at. (in terms of direct spells, not indirect)

[umraefein]

Thanks RHat. That makes a lot more sense.

Seeing as you can aim Direct Combat spells at things with Object Resistance?  I'm gonna go with "didn't know to magic rules so well, making magic seem WAY overpowered".

Steelfish is not cool with people deliberately calling cops to his bar. Which is probably why he pays them not to show-up unless HE calls them and to report calls involving him. Just good business for a fixer with a rep for hosting neutral ground. He doesn't really care if people murder each other OUTside as long as it can't be said they violated his hospitality.

Richter is totally willing to kill Diego at this point but that's irrelevant; he's wiling to kill everybody except maybe Jimmy, who he's starting to like. Because he's kind of, well, insane] to the tune of "keeps his 'wires running whenever he's not asleep". So certainly don't go by what he's doing .

You can write him out and make a new character if you really want to. Or you can keep going with him, as the rest of the group seems to be willing to let it slide. Entirely up to you.

Also, pretty sure the low essence thing applies to ALL healing-category spells not just Heal, so it's harder to buff low essence chars as well.

[RHat]

Of course, that would also protect them from Negative Health spells.

Thats fine, it's just lame that my contact sold me out AND steelfish has told the team it's my fault so they wont trust me.

Like I said i don't want to do that, i just don't see why steelfish would hire him anymore to work with a team that he himself just told not to trust three star.
