Let me know if I missed any questions that need answers.  I also put completed sheets in the first post.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=297867.msg14603705#msg14603705">Quote from: lusciousonly on 02-01-2019, 11:18:50</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">One last tentative mechanical question - does Universal Mirror Material add Noise in both directions, or does it function like Fresnal Fabric and only behave in one direction?<br/><br/>Below is my current sheet for /GUI/, Sourcerer Supreme.

about an available spot and I wanted to double check what characters are in play.  Looks like a hermetic mage, two Technomancers and Phaia’s still-forming adept, maybe a covert ops one.<br/><br/>One idea is a bandit queen or river pirate queen.  Either a sword adept or combat mage, Dragonslayer mentor spirit.  Or a mystic adept, never tired that before.<br/><br/>Further down the line is a sniper or weapons expert, lightly chromed at most.  Or a rigger with an LAV or seaplane.<br/><br/>A skill question... are Prime Runners limited to the usual 6 (7 with advantage) skill ratings?  Kai Ling has a lot of 8s.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I thought those were his total pools, unless I misread something or missed something

does one be a pirate queen though?  You could have an armed ship, but that might get traced and blown up.  Or use jet skis to ride out and board, since the river isn't that wide.  Possibly dropping in with a helicopter.  A summoned water elemental could transport people across and aboard.  <br/><br/>How does one get a crew?  I don't have Run Faster, but in the 1-2e era, you could pay 15K out of your starting equipment budget to have a gang, where 2d6 would show up when needed, or a set of allies for 100K.  That's long gone, likely because its problematic for the GM.<br/><br/>Having the crew as Dependents, like the 3 karma one... a fair sized crew, and someone always has some problem, and they just mind the store while she's out doing recon/runs perhaps.<br/><br/>In any case, she's somewhat of a Robin Hood-type and is definitely playing to the legend and image of Chinese river pirates.  She might even be from an unexpected background, like a corporate one.  "How did you wind up doing this?"  "It's a long story..."<br/><br/>Edit: That said, would you want to be part of her merry band, or just roomies?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div
