You've got spells (Relatively permenant additions), a potential weapon in the form of Acid Bolt and the real money sink, the fetishes. Not to mention less than optimal purchases to keep your shotgun/armor on the cutting edge at all times. No more, no less.Įssentially, the way I figure it, the money you 'lost' as the cyber-orc went onto cyberware, consumables like grenades, stims and medkits. In SR:HK, they became seemingly more powerful but they last 2 turns exactly. They could hang around virtually forever, if you were lucky. Previously, they behaved in the same way as a 'pocket' spirit. It's paticularly noticable as the Shaman however, because of the way they changed the enviroment spirits.
Lol :)Įvery class has their living expenses, it's more noticable in SR:HK because of the somewhat tighter budget than the previous games. Or maybe I should stick with a shotgun-toting cyber-orc. Sure, there are some other conjurer-based spells I imagine he'll get good use out of, but I mainly got him with the idea of being a spirit summoner, so I'm having to rethink this right from the get go.Īny experienced Conjurers out there who have some good advice? Either in general regarding that class or in particular to this Caldecott Caper ? I'm not looking for real spoilers here, but some helpful info on the class might be useful. This conjurer I'm making, though, looks like he's gonna be a huge cash-siphon just to do his thing, though. Once I've put down the initial money for a shotgun, my shotgun toting orc only really needed me to advance up the ranks with my karma to become murderously effective with that thing, even at ridiculous ranges. a conjurer that can't conjure w/o temporary aids seems a bit like a parlor trick performer to me. Of/c, there's the occassional 'free spirit' you can find hanging out, just lying on the ground once in awhile, and that's better than no spirits but. No spell I can learn to conjure up my spirits ? I have to keep buying disposable (and expensive) bits to summon up my own spirits ? Mmmm. whenever I use one of these things to conjure up a spirit, it's gone, Poof ! Never to return again. Sure, they get used up and stay gone until the mission is over, but once the next mission starts, there they are again. )Īt any rate, I can't help noticing that he (and all the NPC conjurers I met in the HK games) all have permanent summon spirit things that come with them from mission to mission. Wasn't aware until starting that my one NPC friend to start the game would also be a shaman (Arghhh. After going through the Hong Kong primary and supplemental game as a shotgun-toting bionic orc, I decided I'd try elf shaman for this new add-on. Don't let that stop you, mind just so you're aware.Playing ' The Caldecott Caper ' now. If they haven't optimized at least somewhat for magical combat (plenty of foci, fetishes, spell locks, initiate grades, and weapon foci), they're probably not slick enough to deal with this level of threat yet. A spirit like this is capable of wiping out even a very experienced team of magic-heavy runners, so be warned. On a personal note, something like this will be a MAJOR baddie - so I'd make it a free spirit that's doing Very Bad Things somewhere, and the runners get hired to deal with it. Once you've generated the Toxic Insect Spirit, drop the Blood template on it and you're good to go. But then, to do this in the first place, you're invoking Rule Zero regardless, so you may as well go whole hog. Be aware the toxic spirit powers are extremely free-form and heavily dependent on Rule Zero. All you have to do is build an insect spirit as you normally would (a la Street Magic), and then load a bunch of toxic spirit powers on top of it. And it would both fit the game AND scare the pants off of players. Now, just to confuse you, you could totally create a toxic insect blood spirit. With that said, Blood Magic IS a template as as D&D player understand it.it's a set of qualities, both mechanical and RP-based, that is overlaid on top of another spirit type. Likewise, so it is with spirits - lots of types (fire, urban, man, insect, toxic), but they're all distinct and separate. There's lots of different subtypes of elves (wood, grey, high, dark, and so forth),and they're all elves.but you don't create them as a template laid over a basic statblock. but they are a wholly different creature, with their own individual entry in the books.Īn approximation would be to compare them to elves.

Toxic spirits and Insect spirits use the same rules as other spirits (attributes are equal to their Force plus a static modifier, for example). Being a toxic spirit isn't a "template" as a normal D&D player would understand them.
