[UA] Re:New School: the Neomancer

Fri May 11 10:35:28 PDT 2007

Suggestions:

Make Sigs more difficult. As it stands they come pretty cheaply. Also
declare whether new newspapers and the like count.
Expand the Taboo. I'd suggest a cannot own anything more than, say, ten
years old. (This would also mean Neomancers can't a house for long, so
adjust or refine as need be.)

I'd suggest expanding Planned Obsolescence to allow for things generally
used for the same purpose, since keeping track of all those companies will
be a pain in the ass.

The plutomancer spell "Devaluation" would be ideal for the school, and
Planned Obsolescence would probably be a better name for it. Maybe you could
rename Planned Obsolescence to "Downgrade".

Explain Survival of the meanest. How long does it last? One attack or one
minute?
I'd suggest making it a minor blast spell, costing minor charges, since it
requires having other people around, but this makes it good for long
distance blasts and traps. (What will the burglar think when he picks up
your iPod and his buddy cracks him in the arm with a crowbar?)
