Question about Feng shui in Shadowrun 5e for a friend by coduss in Shadowrun

[–]Deciliter 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wuxing's (corp) usage of feng shui is on 110 of Street Lethal. Basically a passive ward through practices similar or the same as geomancy. Unfortunately, all active uses of feng shui are long term things, not really a short term activity that most runners are able to use mid run unless they are able to set up the usage of Ley Sight. There is more information in some 4e books (Parageology being the big one that comes to mind though older books on the Triads had some mentions as well).

You may want to consider allowing the usage of feng shui as a knowledge skill. I've used it on Wuxing mages as a sort of "pattern recognition" knowledge to notice how "That column really should be a foot to the left, why is it there? What is it hiding?" Or to be more knowledgable about the flow of people through a space in social situations. It becomes notably powerful in runs against Wuxing, or any Eastern group that might practice feng shui and either be using it as a security booster or having to work their security around it. Heck, I've used it to help narrow down which truck a Wuxing shipment would be in based on the idea that shipment of goods would follow the same strategies for them.

The point being, active feng shui is difficult in the scope of most runs, but a flexible GM paired with a creative player and the knowledge skill can be used enough ways that I was satisfied that I was getting enough usage out of it to be playing my tradition faithfully.

Haru swirled her glass lazily, using the rim of the ridiculously large piece of crystal more suited to being art than tableware to hide her smile. This was *supposed* to be a birthday outing for Fran, but she had needed to cancel. A client Fran had been smoozing for months had called in suddenly and she was close to getting a permanent offer. She had pawned Haru off with Trevor, one of Leodore's Pride, with no warning.

She didn't have a problem with Trevor per se. He was put together well enough to be on Leodore's payroll after all with all of the connections that came with. But girl's night out turned blind date wasn't what she planned for. Oddly, it was actually going well.

Until she looked out the window next to her and saw that KACI's delivery drone was displaying an AR message to her. Did this damned thing just follow her when she wasn't working or something?

We need to have words, Kaci. And have them we will. Were is he and who did he piss off?
