I don't like mind magic too much... it's too easy to become dependent on it, but can't be depended on.
People can quite easily notice spellcasting. Perception with threshold of 6 - Force to notice a spell being cast. So you can't hook up with a guy in a bar, restaurant or workplace, try talking to him and then "subtly" cast a mind-control spell to make getting the information easier. Same for getting past a security check or any of that. Trying to use it on a Johnson, the way I see it, means you could just as well walk out on the meeting or not show up in the first place.

And didn't someone already have a mindbender/Face mage for this game?

that character is on the reserve list.

I was thinking more the influence and less direct mind control. I can total see the point about getting dependent on or destroying a game with it. I am cool and  will back what ever you want to do. 520 pts is a good about of points to play with.

Thanks Ympulse for choosing my character. Although I do think my numbers add up, it was all done by hand, so if you don't mind looking at the numbers, I would appreciate it. I'll try to play her in a way that keeps the game interesting for everyone.

Just one question though: do the characters all know each other?

Ympulse, do you allow the optional rule for 1PP instead of 1 a metamagic quality on initiation? (It's in the Errata for Street Magic.)

Time to go look for another game...

While I'm normally against that rule, I'll say that for Char gen, it's perfectly fine. So you may get 1 PP per initiate grade

Except for Novo, [reasons] and I'll slap you onto the Alt list.
Good to hear alt is an option, but could I submit another character for it? [reasons]
I'm going to assume that's a no.Hope to see you guys in a game some time. :)

Yay! OOC started!
Charsheet's up.

Anyone have any suggestions/fixes for my charsheet, please share before the game starts! I completely hate and such at char building!

Need contacts too. Got Humanis now... which I thought would be ironic for an awakened elf who often poses as an ork or dwarf... but at 20BP that contact soaked up all my Bp's, so I'll probably have to dump it for another :(

Yeah, I'm not sure how you could explain Humanis as a contact with that sort of metatype setup. :P

Also, I believe Ympulse said you needed at least 3 contacts.
