I'll pay whatever is desired as far as currency, EP, whatever and IMO there is not much of a chance someone is going to suggest a price that is too high for me to participate and support GMs doing a good job running games.

Dr. Asterisk

Not a conversion. It is based off other SR dragons removing one ability and adding another (losing psionics, adding magic, swapping out str points for other attributes etc.) Dragons are largely a blunt instrument in Sr so I am doing a different take. Will contact on discord after the show I'm at. ;)

@Snake Eyes We solved it in the 12th by a mechanical modification for that weapon (i.e. spending credits) but this question is about the meta application.

Dr. Asterisk

Pender Lumkiss I'm trying to figure out what is meant by "at any time," since Spellcasting as a trait can have very few passive uses, like opposed Dispel or Puppet. And in the latter case, the spell is being cast by the wearer so even that isn't really passive use i.e. the wearer is takin...
