I did.
Seems like I messed up the formating somehow. It's fixed now.

etiquite: 19d6t5 9
hits the social limit - no hits spend.

I mistakenly used the standard gen version of balls - the life module only has 16 dice + 1 for fame.

19d6t5:  8 [19d6t5=1, 1, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5, 2, 6, 3, 6, 5, 4, 6, 6, 3, 4, 4, 5] so lets take 2 dice off - 8 hits.

I figure this'll come up, so:
Etiquette 3 + Charisma 8 + Fame 1 = 12
Etiquette: 12d6t5 3

If relevant (since I did have her scope the crowd for suspicious persons), here's a perception check:
Perception 3 + Intuition 5 = 8
Perception: 8d6t5 4 [3, 6, 3, 1, 6, 2, 6, 6]

You will NOT be hired for most jobs, no matter how minor if you are openly non-christian. Even among christians, Non-southern baptists are viewed with suspicion, although not outwardly scorned.
I wanted to point out, in consideration of this, that Louisiana Voodoo (the Vodou that Dolly practices) is strongly tied to Catholicism. However, it only goes so far as equating major Loa to Catholic saints and Bondye (the greatest Loa) to God (though this part might be unique to Hatian Vodou), as well as attending Sunday Mass, which might not get a pass from most Christians anyway, and might even upset them to see their religion "twisted", in their eyes. And it's not Southern Baptist at any rate, so there's that. And her makeup can make it fairly obvious that she is a Vodou practitioner to most people that are passingly familiar with it.

As a corporate girl with etiquette, she's used to changing her appearance to match the situation, so I'm going to tone down the Vodou face and body pigments to make it less obvious, so at least people won't spot her as Vodou at a glance, though with her fame, they might recognize her anyway and know what her tradition is.


But the bottom line is that it will depend on the person how they view Vodou and whether they consider it a type of Christianity - if believing in the same God is enough, then she's golden, but if following all of the details is required, it might pose problems. The use of the term "openly" might leave her wiggle room - she certainly won't argue religion with anyone and will likely share a large number of viewpoints with Christians, so unless she is outright asked about her religious affiliation, she might be able to skate around in the grey areas of that term.

I should have specified, "Most conventional jobs" not shadowrunning jobs.

Before it comes up, the two powers that the Task spirit has are Running and Sneaking. Only really useful for her travel trick.

Yes... ;)
Well I assume balls is around 30 according to his life modules, lets say finished university at 20, then 8 years working as a mage cooperate and street and he is now in the middle of his 'celebrity module' so 30. He is an elf so he still got his boyish face as if he's 18 tough.

Yes, we agreed to that coincidence in private chat. Dolly is 33, so she's a little older than him, but they are close enough to have crossed paths if he also attended Vassar.
