Cybernetic Phyical Mage Samurai:

Go full magician but as a Path of the Magician adept and pick 3 points of adept powers (improved athletics II, improved implant weaponry I, improved (insert ranged weapon) II,  and 3 points of Magical power. Now get 3 points worth of cyberware, spend some money on a rating 1 Cyberspur Weapon Focus, use that as an implant. Take some geasa and voila, a combat adept with the ability to learn and cast at least force 1 spells safely. Spells like armor, redirect, and deflect. As they initiate they can throw off their geas and then be nasty kinds of powerful, and proceed up to force 3 armor spells. Not to mention health spells like increase attribute and heal.

I remember mages that would cast improved attribute spells and lock them with spell locks er I mean, sustaining foci. What's worse than a nova-hot decker? A nova hot decker with a bear shaman bolstering his intellect?

The last game I played, I got my Physad doosted with Increase Reflex 1 Spell, and since he already had enhanced Reflexes, that was one BAD trog! He closed fast enough that the bad guy only got 2 shots, and they didn't amount to much, and then he beat them to death. That was the first time I ever played a physad, and I liked it. ;D

I never enjoyed playing thoes PC's though.

I say, but I'd rather see a unique cybermage for a change rather than your average boring hermetic-type.

I can see that. Of course, I really hate mages. Give me a good Shaman any day, and then we'll have some fun.

I'll stick with my mundane wrench-turning friends.

they are less likely to have their meat body become ground zero for a failed lightning storm spell durring an astral quest.

Yea, having a mage in a group is sometimes as big a liability as running into one in another group.

Although it's less painful if he mostly sticks to healing, levetation, invisibility, and only breaks out the big spells if it's an emergency.

but that's like having a Street-Sam that sticks to the streetline special.

everyone wants to break out the big guns.
