Yeah, I figured they wouldn't let it stand as RAW, but there you go. Cheers.

>you can just keep spending free actions
does it work with perfect time?

Dun...dun...dun *Pencilman*

If you aren't doing it while using direct neural interface through your lover's datajack to directly experience every thought and feeling they have, then you aren't really doing it

If you were my player, I'd be inclined to tell you to go fuck yourself unless you were doing some sort of constant performance, sort of like a spell defence centering, to go with the quality.

But RAW, yeah, sure.

There's a great quote in Wolf and Raven:
>Schools wouldn't take them, hospitals wouldn't treat them, help centers ignored them.
>There was no way the system was going to investigate the death of someone [without a SIN]. Had he been an orc or an elf or an Amerind, his own folk might have taken an interest in him. Lone Star, however, was a private corporation hired to keep the peace in Seattle, not to clean up after some murderer who got careless when dropping his trash.

SINless on SINless crime and death are not even statistics. That's the whole point of being SINless, you exist entirely outside the system. No need to track what doesn't exist.

The plot of that story is that a group of rich hunters decides to go after the most dangerous game. It resolves when they are confronted and threatened, but not with the law - as the hunters point out, it's not a crime to damage things that don't exist so long as they are not caught in the act of disturbing the peace, SINless have zero value. Wolf and Raven instead threaten to spread the identity of the hunters among the SINless community - because their lives have little value, those people would happily take a Saturday night special and go take a crack at the rich fraggers who are hunting them for sport, and eventually one of them would get through.

Wolf and Raven get turned onto the murder specifically because the cop responsible for clearing away the body knows that there will be no autopsy, investigation, or even official record of the death, but the callousness of the system irks him enough to bring in the protagonists to look at it.

...

Maybe a zero-cost quality that adds the expanded elements? Or a checkbox on the magic tab about whether you're using the FA variant.

They are not, it would make no sense if that were the case.

Because some traditions have multiple, mutually exclusive, subdivisions. And further because the text makes it clear that these are the benefits and bans of *traditional* practitioners of the... well, tradition.

I felt The Sprawl captured the archetypes pretty nicely.

Of course, it lacks magic so it doesn't cover everything, but it covers enough.
