Thank you! That's exactly the answers i was looking for. A few more did come up speaking with friends, however, most of those answered by the fact but if you don't mind me asking more noob questions i'll post them as they come up.
What's the Missions stance on MysAds and Metamagics? Can they take magician ones as well as adepts or do they need the Magician's way? i was unable to find that info in the current FAQ version
yes, it's actually pretty straight forward unless you are over thinking and trying to make it more complicated then it needs to be ... Mystic Adepts count as both mages and adepts so when they initiate they can choose from either
Is this your opinion on mysads or official clarification from above. While CRB would be in line with what you stated, SG has a little thing called Magician's Way which kinda says mysads can take magician's metamagics with this quality- implying very heavily that you can't otherwise. And generally speaking a specific rule trumps a general rule. Not much reason to take Magician's Way if all mysads can take any metamagic they want.
Well, first off, to argue that final point you made, the way still gives access to the Magician's Way exclusive enhancements and still gives a discount on whatever powers you want. So I would hardly say there is "not much reason" to take the Magician's Way...
Based on the available text, it cannot be logically proven that
Only Mystic Adepts following the Magician's Way have access to "non-adept" metamagics. Take this logical progression:
1. "mystic adepts following this Way have access to all non-adept metamagics abilities for which they meet the prerequisites"
2. Mystic Adept "Meta" is following the Magician's Way
3. "Meta" has access to all non-adept metamagics (etc)
This statement passes basic logic. If A then B, A is True, so B is True. However, the contrapositive is not proven based purely on this text. Trying to use this statement to do so is the logical fallacy of denying the antecedent.
1. "mystic adepts following this Way have access to all non-adept metamagics abilities for which they meet the prerequisites"
2. Mystic Adept "Max" does not follow the Magician's Way
3. "Max" does not have access to non-adept metamagics (etc)
This second example is false, it isn't positively proven. If A then B, if A is False, B is not
automatically false.
