Normalcy - New Physical Adept Power This power is somewhat like the magical spell "Disregard", with elements of "Chaos" or "Chaotic World". The Physical Adept possessing the power of Normalcy becomes a nonentity in the mind of his enemies - they are inclined not to notice him. The adept just looks like an ordinary Joe, and everyone's minds are encouraged to believe this. To actively notice a Physical Adept with Normalcy active, you must make a Willpower test, with a target number dependent on the level of the power the adept has purchased. No action may be taken regarding the adept's presence until this test has succeeded; one test may be made per round. LevelCost 1 0.5 2 1 3 1.5 4 2.0 The Target Number to actively notice someone using the Normalcy power is 4 + [2x level of Normalcy power]*. This power does not function on the astral plane, and use of Normalcy negates any attempts at Active Masking by the adept while the power is active. The Normalcy power is only active for a limited duration; this is equal to [half of the Physical Adept's Magic Rating] + [level of Normalcy power] in turns. The adept using this power suffers drain when the power expires. The Drain resistance is [2x Level]M. * The Willpower test to act may be granted bonuses if a normal person should not be where the adept is. In other words, this power makes the adept "blend in" like a guy on the street. If a guy on the street would be out of place, so is the adept. Eg. Phillip the PhysAd uses this power in the middle of a busy shopping mall to elude the security guards who are chasing him. Phillip has a Magic Rating of 6, and possesses the Normalcy power at level 3. Therefore the Target Number for the Security Guards to notice him is 4+6, or 10, since none of them are astrally capable (what a surprise!). Phil thinks this new power's pretty good, so he tries it on the next midnight run against a corp facility. There aren't any astral presences watching him, so the Target Number would ordinarily be 10 again. However, an average Joe on the street would be out of place in a corp compound, so if the security guards failed their tests, they would see him as a civilian in the compound instead of a shadowrunner. This may or may not be a good thing. Comments, feedback welcome. Lady Jestyr
