I want to bring up something about complex form limits I brought up earlier in another thread but didn't get to discuss it much.
As written right now, the highest Level you can choose for complex forms is Resonance x 3. I'm believing this is a typo or something that was previously considered but maybe changed in other places. Shouldn't it be Resonance x 2?
1) All similar mechanics (magic casting and summoning, sprite compiling) is Resonance x 2. And before someone mentioned it, yes, magic =/= resonance, but the mechanics are IDENTICAL, right down to fading versus drain, compiling tasks, making things permanent by sustaining up to the Level/Force, etc. This is the one instance where the rules are different, and not in a good way. See below:
2) This means we can choose to have at character creation, without any submersions, we can have a limit of 18 on tasks, which, unless my math-fu skills are bad, is all but impossible to reach by any other character (the closest I've seen is a Troll Phys Adept having a Physical Limit of 14 on unarmed attacks). That means we could potentially have 18 damage Resonance Spikes to devices, unbeatable Puppet requests, clean up to 18 points of OS at a time, etc, without Edge. Kind of game-breaking.
3) This also allows insta-glibbing your technomancer. Level x 2 means at most 12P fading, which is dang harsh but doable. 18P? yikes. And yes, there will be people who don't care and try to do it as their swansongs, but... yeah
Sorry for the long, verbose post, but I'd like to see some clarification here, because honestly Res x 3 is a bit ridiculous.
