But more to the point, the effect that allows grounding opens up a huge can of worms regarding Astral vs Phsyical that results in a rather nasty paradox,thanks in part to things like FAB.
Yeah. Thank goodness that the fix gave us SR4's possession rules.

turn to goo makes all cyber fall out,,,,,

a major advantage for cyberleggers,,,
How to slot someone up bad:
1.  Turn to Goo.
2.  Slowly pull out Datajack.
3.  Let the spell go.
4.  Profit from the vid of the guy with the hole in his head twitching on the ground.

You forgot hocking the stolen cyberware for 10% of its street value.

Meh.  Two different things.  The "Fix" was in 3rd ed.  Possession is something completely different, and separately broken.

How did Bull become Dual Natured?

Sorry.  There was an implied "Spell Lock" in there, since that is what we were discussing.  Johnny had a couple Spells Locked onto Bull.  Mainly things like "Armor" so that Bull could do a trick like wade into the middle of a nest of Roach Spirits and not instantly die :)

Oh, and Bull actually WAS dual natured for a little bit.  The PC, not the NPC, since he breaks canon a bit.  There was a little while when Bull wasn't an Ork Decker...  He was the "Cuddliest and Fuzziest Wendigo Decker You Ever Met", according to Dvixen once upon a time.  Then Bull was cloned, his memories transferred his the Matrix into the clone (Where someone hacked in and copied some of them, turning them into video games, and releasing them onto the Matrix).  oh, and our Street Doc who was handling all this ran out of memory storage during the transfer, so he deleted all Bull's memories of "taste", so the new clone had no clue what anything tasted like anymore.

Yeah.  Our game was like that sometimes. :)

So there was a brief time when he was actually legitimately dual-natured.

Some day someone will finally take pity on CanRay and run a game for him. He'll go to the Stuffer Shack, and nothing will happen.

Reminds me of my brief killed-before-the-warmup-was-over-and-we-could-get-to-the-plot campaign, which was aimed at eventually hitting scenarios where "Call Down A Thor Shot" would be on the table as a viable, realistic alternative. Bugs and Shedim and Toxic Blood Cults oh my.

If it hadn't been my first session and I hadn't wanted to stick to the script, the bad-guys never would've made their move. I'd like to think nobody without 1s in both Logic and Intuition would be stupid enough to go charging into a building when there's an obviously armed "urban" APC (SUV-styled Roadmaster, basically) sitting out front with Saeder-Krupp corporate tags, plain as day.

A couple of them, IIRC.  Slamm-0! loved them, /dev/grrl thinks they're too old fashioned.

With the default weapon being a Panther Assault Cannon.  ;D

Which makes me worry about that "Cow" crack I made in "Burn"...   :o

I agree. That kind of game would be wonderful. And I would make a character with a bright pink mohawk. Hrm. How far is South Dakota from the frozen wastelands of Canadia?

You know...thinking about it..what would be absolutely cool would be if they do sample characters from SR2/SR1, with modern style
artwork, but using the original art as the inspiration...
