They can't. I don't think they are high in the sky (otherwise they wouldn't be discreet either...), but you won't know on site. And if they notice you... Well, geek the mage is a notion I never want to get to my enemies head when I'm playing a Mage ^^
For the rolls you'd have to see with Mercy, but with a force 6 spirit, you can take some drain there, so it could be important especially with the spirit whisperer quality which adds one resistance dice for the spirit.
It's the same thing if you want to cast a Force 6 invisibility for example, even more so that you'd have to cast it twice, once for you, once for the spirit (with a 2d sustain penalty).

This is even more important that it takes place before a combat situation.

When you do stuff at Force 4 or less it's not really an issue unless you're really unlucky, and since we don't want to roll for every little thing...

Another point to keep in mind is that you only have invisibility and not improved invisibility... There will be a lot of noise on the next day with all the footage of a mage flying through Seattle... And some of that footage is bound to be of reasonably good quality...

Speaking of karma, be careful, you put twice what you should have on your sheet, see here

For the rolls, you can use this: http://orokos.com/
For Shadowrun the codes are Xd6t5 where X is your dice pool, unless you pre-edge your roll, then it's Xd6h5.

For at least six hours today the forum was unresponsive.
Maybe we should take steps* in order to be able to smoothly transition to dumpshock forums. You know, just in case...

* said steps could just be to have a save of the threads (print button, bottom right of one of the thread page, save the resulting htm), and an activated account on dumpshock.

I'm going to concur, if only because I tried to respond last night, and I couldn't due to site issues.  Let me know what the consensus is and I will make the transition.

Agreed.  If that is the consensus, I will move the post there tonight when I return from work.

I can do it today if you want. I'll even try to have a script add the colours in the printed file. Should be easy.
Does Vegas have an account there though?

Visual Perception Check, ugh, what a shit roll!  Visual Perception (Bratva Territory Rooftop Scan): 14d6t5 4.  And then a Stealth check to remain hidden from potential shooters; Sneak Check (Bratva Territory Rooftop): 11d6t5 2.  Apparently I have been abandoned by Polyhedrous, the patron saint of dice!

4 successes for 14d rolled is hardly a bad roll! A bit under the average, but since the average is 4.66 it's not too bad, you're just asking too much from your dice :P
And you'd need a resist invisibility roll too (Logic + Willpower).

Didnt they say something about a new server?  It seems to be working better than before.  Maybe they were just working on it.

Yeah, they said something about a new server in may. And that's all. No news since. Not saying there won't be but...
And if it works a bit better, just wait a bit, it'll pass...

So, like I said, I copied the thread Eva & Cynthia over to dumpshock, it's here

It's from the printable html version of this forum, which removed the colours. I made a script that added them back, transformed the html back to bb code, etc. It's not perfect, there are things not exactly right, but it should be ok.
Now that I have the script, I can do the same in a matter of seconds for others if you are interested. Just note that there is only one colour for the speach, the script can't decide to alternate.

I think I've broken our GM, damn!
By the way, the site was slow again yesterday, but we can see the post on dumpshock as a save rather than the new place to post, the slow loading is frustrating but it's not like we have to go there if you prefer it here of course.

Nothing much, to not say nothing.
Except that we might move over to dumpshock since the forum here is slow at the best of times, do you have an account there?
