Hi, i am thinking about my beloved troll mage again.
By now he has a roto-drone with good autosofts, i know its not efficient, but its really stylish and fun. And it hasnt any Karma-Costs included, i got a rigger/mechanics contact alongside for repairing.
Now i read up on ally spirits. They are really expensive and stuff, but again..the style!
So, am i having this right:
Initiation required, 13 Karma + 3 for arcana 16 Karma , missing out on centering
Force 3 Spirit of (whatwouldbethebest?) binding as ally-spirit: 24 Karma
Additional Spells that rock...? 5-x Karma
Now the Spirit and the Drone would buff it out, with a nearly 100% Flesh form result, since the drone will roll about 15+ dice, the spirit 6. Hybrid would be cool too, but would require an incredible high karma cost. Spirit force 7, 56 Karma^^
But flesh form still means i´d have a drone with a force 3 spirit in it, with endless services. Its aura is masked and its immune to normal weapons, effectivly making a drone quite tanky. Especially if it has reinforce or something fancy...
So, its a really big investment, 30+ Karma from now, but then he got 13 in 2 weeks, so its not impossible.
Now tell me why my spirit friend drone sucks balls. before i go for it^^
