[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

>>>>>[ Speaking as rigger who heard call of wise-warrior Svygator, is smart to learn all you can of all you can.  You are in position to know how all works together; use this, run own team.  Also, is smart if living in apartment building to keep armed aerial drone on roof - on standby.  If hell is raised, use drone to identify major problems and order drone to 'disperse' them with much ammunition, then use periscope to identify and deal with specific issues. Two, three times gang has to cart friends home from sudden 'random' magic and drone assault and gang goes elsewhere, block becomes very quiet. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Indeed. Alternatively, if you're a possession mage, you'd be amazed what happens when you place a spirit in a drone body. The spirit can't use the drone's sensors or weapons, really, but it can move the drone just fine, meaning that when an 'unarmed' surveillance drone possessed by a fire spirit suddenly starts unloading flaming death from above, it tends to make the gangers think twice about coming around. Or when I summon a Spirit of Man capable of using my spell to turn people into ice sculptures, and put it in a drone. You should have seen the look on those Spikes' faces when this little Fly-Spy drone comes speeding in under the influence of a Movement power, and starts turning gangers to ice in the middle of their fight with some Ancients near my safehouse. It helps if you have the drones prepared as vessels ahead of time, since complex objects like that tend to resist magic.

Another thing you might consider if you 'dual-class', to borrow a term from those games, would be to focus on some of the lesser-used areas. For instance, if you do most of your fighting with drones, then focusing on ritual magic can be very effective. Just don't sell yourself as a combat mage, and you'll be good.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Well, goals to work towards, yeah? Also good advice for any possession mages out there who may be listening. Afterall, unarmed surveillance drones are dirt cheap, legal to own, and easy to get your hands on. And NO ONE expects them to start shooting at them.]<<<<<

>>>>> [I’m back, from the latest fragfest . . . I’d almost feel sorry for the complex we just hit, except I’m all but positive it was run by Human Nation. Four different teams hit it on the same night – us, a New Islamic Jihad group, a New Knights Templar group, and a Brat’mael squad. The NIJ and the NKT got into it with each other, the Brat’mael was really interested in racking up a non-elven bodycount. My team got in and out with our objective and only five wounds taken. Did anyone get my last posting?] <<<<<
