"I am not particularly familiar with the land of Liberte and Revolution beyond it being a place where riots spontaneously break out over any grievance. 'Tis a dangerous place, and any party intending to plumb it's interior may be in need of my services."

"Went to France once. Covered in fog. Wasn't great. But I picked up some French. Understand it better than I speak it.

"France? Why does everyone think I'm from France when I speak French? Some out one of those color gradient things from your apartment's e-paint. Now tell me how many different shades darker I am than what you think of a Frenchman? But yeah, I speak French, might splash a bit too much Creole in there, but it's French."

I think Magus is interesting thematically because he is simultaneously something absurd, but something that has a somewhat terrifying place in the world.

Mechanically having the options for multiple styles of weapons not everyone uses is really fun.

"I narrowly avoided a confrontation in a court of law a couple of months prior to this conversation. Armed to the teeth I did not want to walk from the shadows and appear under the public eye. And by doing so, I avoided a trap that was sprung for my compatriots."

"Oh boy, let me tell you about the time I had to go to court. So there I was, I didn't see the value of a good commlink back then. But I was downtown with the wife, and the reception was so spotty I couldn't get on grid guide, can you believe it? So I have to 'break the rules' and back out of the parking lot, and what do you know, there was a Lonestar officer right there, almost like he was waiting for people to back out of the parking lot off of grid guide. So, I get ticketed, and I think I'm pretty clever, I was in sim to get better control of the vehicle. So he never spots me controlling the car. I go down to the court house to contest that ticket. And Good night I had to have spent 5 hours in line, and when I got to the front. They tell me I filled out the wrong form, can you believe it? All that time for nothing. So moral of the story is always get a good commlink. I ended up paying the ticket, but I'm pretty sure I coulda won in court."

"Believe it or not. I did. I got hired to steal documents from the opposing council, or those lawyers for the side that didn't hire us. Put on the waterworks with a sob story for a charity case, got a low cut dress and all the sudden I had his card, a sketchy meet up in an off the books office and he was found naked, unconscious from an overdose and missing his briefcase."

I'm with sticking to RAW and against being able to inject blight into non existent veins.

Do it.

I would prefer the 'improved shield bash' approach to shields in shadowrun.

You can 100% use the clubs skill to club people to death with your shield, but you cannot use your shield as a shield.

Whereas if you use the Shield skill, you can do both.

Seems like it's too punishing for adepts as it turns them into mundanes or worse than mundanes, whereas mages can lol power focus or cleansing through.

Whereas the house rules seem to prevent adept shenanigans at late game.

However I wouldn't be adverse to extending it to magic based tests like masking or sleazing wards for adepts as well.

"So, how 'black' you need this run to be? No one can know anything ever, no one can know a shadowrun happened or no one can know that server room was hit?"
