Am i reading it right from magic priority that aspected mage does not get any rituals/spell/preps without spending karma on them?

Correct: They are viewed pretty unfavorably, with the possible exception of the Rank D Conjurer (since they can't use spells anyway and so don't lose anything).

Would it be balanced to assume Aspected should (were meant?) to receive the same amount of spells full mages get at the same priority?

I may house rule that they get 2 less spells as the magician as the same priority...that feels equitable...

What do you do about conjurers?

I believe one of the designers said that that was not the intention as it would put Summoners at a disadvantage to Spellcasters and Enchanters.

My house rule is to give them a standard Magic progression (6/4/2 rather than whatever BS they have right now that doesn't even line up with the Adept), the Skill Group benefit, and a flat +2 dice modifier to any check made using a skill in their Aspected wheelhouse.

Ench / conj could start with (number of spells * 5) karma worth of artifacts / bound spirits?

With cybernetics..

If lets say, I start off with a standard cyber limb leg, it costs 1 point of essence, and later on, I purchase a delta cyber leg, which costs .5 essence..


1) Do I recover the .5 essence from switching the two?
2) if not, do I lose an additional .5 essence for removing the old cyber leg and putting on the new better one?

Assuming you replace the gap: You'd have an Essence Hole of 0.5 that can be filled with other augmentations in the future. Either the HotPatch or the Missions FAQ contains that rule.
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!

Alright then, What about Biotech? If I get some bodily changes done via biotech, do I need to get cut open and stuff again to replace a standard with delta?

It is treated the same way.

Back again, sorry. Do dwarves no longer have thermographic vision, or was it accidentally omitted?

Accidentally omitted. I believe the Missions Hot Patch Errata addresses it.

Thank you! ^.^

The just-released errata addresses the issue of Dwarf thermographic vision.  Here's the link - I hope you enjoy!
