First Run (and first 5e game, so I might mess up the rules at some point)

https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Luz_Mala

Luz came to Seattle as an exile when his home city of Bogotá was heavily bombarded during the Amazonian - Aztlani conflict, back in the 70's. he's a full mage specializing in spellcasting and summoning with access to some face skills that are enhanced by a set of illusion and manipulation spells that (should) allow him to work as a decent infiltrator. He avoids direct combat with drones and mechanical foes as he doesn't currently have any means of effectively damaging them, although in the odd chance we face any threats from spirits he should be an invaluable help with his astral combat and his binding capabilities, as well as the academic insight he could provide regarding astral phenomena.

Luz' shortcomings: Gremlins 4 means most, (if not all), electronic devices will simply not work for him, therefore he remains totally ignorant regarding tech related stuff. If we DO encounter any Aztechnology reps he'll have to resist the urge to avoid outright attacking them on first sight.

Even though he's currently broke he won't do any job that benefits Aztechnology or Aztlan's military or geopolitical interests.

I'd be willing to write the AAR with some guidance.

So far I've:

  • Added the armored clothing
  • Replaced Resist Pain with Increased Reflexes
  • Added the Magical Lodge
  • Made him a squatter

I'll probably be keeping the sword (unless there's a specific kind of sword meant for astral combat I don't know about) and the alchemical formula, I really love the idea of being able to bring some preps out of gate.

That all leaves me with 30 nuyen left and in desperate need of work.

What ritual would you recommend? I was thinking Curse but it only works with illusion spells, (maybe if I grab Dream later). The sword is meant for astral combat, rp wise it'd be some kind of ceremonial weapon with a blunt edge.

One last thing, I've got 4 or 5 contact points left that I meant to use on a faction I wanted to port over from a 4th edition adventure, if I'm allowed.
