somehow I couldn't find it (seems like I need to search through my own threads as well) and was browsing the chummer file, where it's not possible to take extended version of that spell.

There is no problem with that, I just wanted to make it clear for the future.
Sorry for a small delay ;)

The men suddenly jerks upright, his eyes start glowing eerily red and a mad grin appear on his face. There is a large hex visible on his forehead in astral. Beside the parking boy whose eyes suddenly become larger than humanly possible nobody seems to notice.
Veto? I have the spirit power of realistic form, i don't want to create havoc.
Quote from: SM102
A spirit with Realistic Form can be mistaken for a normal physical creature or object when it materializes, or it appears unremarkable when joined to a vessel
My whole character concept was about spirit stealth... as much as it is possible for a spirit.
Possession together with Realistic Form and Aura Masking is quite undetectable, even in the astral.

Con as supervisor: Charisma 4 + Con 5 - Sustaining 2 = 7DP (7d6.hits(5)=0), no glitch
Not sure, if this needs a con roll, as i actually am the supervisor of the boy. But if i needed, i would have failed miserably, omg. Sustaining the spell is leaving marks...

Lethe,

Netz, just gave a sign, that he is having computer problems.
We need more players (at least one) - I'll try to recruit them, but since the setting is kind of unusual I'm not sure I will succeed.

Honestly, I did consider trying, but considering that I've already had to go on hiatus from one due to my medical issues and remembering the lower power you wanted (which I don't enjoy), I figured it'd not be a good idea. Now if you'd had them build to begin with with what is now the new points for that karma generation (the 1000), I probably would've tried--don't mind that generation system nearly as much under that.

All4, I'm affraid, I kind of enjoy the level of power I've seen in that combat that just ended. I will try greater power in some other game, so far I have enough problems giving a proper challenge to low powered charactar. if you haven't seen my denver missions, they are run for 400 BP + some 50 karma, and I am having A LOT of problem to properly scale the encounters so they will not all die, when a samurai falls.

Having the team amped up, is (yet) too difficult for me. you don't want to get into game, that GM isn't comfortable with as this will affect all players.

FYI - I've edited the first post of the thread to recap the creation rules.

Y'know, All4, with 650 karma and free metatype, this game's pretty much the equivalent of a 900 karma game. That's not so low powered at all and closer to the "new point for karma generation" than the old system. Sure you don't wanna try?

The rules said nothing about free anything. I believe there were mentions from some people on the matter, but I thought such things were dismissed since they are very much going against the rules.

Might be me being unable to understand. It. Well.
I use chummer and it seem to give free spirit metatype for free.

Whatever The method given 650 You should end up around force 5 or 6 which is the power level I want. If that's too low for you I can't help it.

All right, seems like pretty well a misunderstanding. My Chummer has the latest updates and follows the rules laid out in the latest Runner's Companion, so entering 650 (which is what the rules of creation would imply) would create pretty much a useless free spirit character, as it would leave 400 for everything else. 900 I suppose could work, but I'd have take a gander. Though, so all the characters are even, it would be advisable for the new ones to be granted the same amount of karma the existing ones have gotten in game.

Ouch. That would be an ubelievable amount of 2 karma difference.
I think you're right head to head new players don't have a chance with old guard in comparison.

But no. They've earned it with blood (or at least some plasma). No bonus on start for newcomers.

That all, then that's fine, I thought they'd gotten double digits (which can make a difference). I'll check it out later and see if I can come up with something satisfying since that misunderstanding was taken care of.
