however the garment has been altered by a temporal mage and given a Dimensional Pocket (which magically holds 30 lbs).
after reconfiguration, will the Dimensional Pocket still work ?
Can I put items that haven't been reconfigured inside it and take them with me to another destination, say to a Astral Domain, or to another physical plane ?
it works just fine even reconfigured. the reconfiguring has no effect on the dimensional pockets, as it's a dimension entirely seperate from the astral plane. the pocket is nothing but a protal to the diensions and it has no bearing on the astral nature whatsoever.

Or how about reconfiguring a suitcase sized nuke!!!

Svartalf- if Cherico were a character created in a point game system, he'd have all his scores in geeky skills and his youtube and weird net stuff schticks all paid through a a Terminal Bad Luck (with more nasty GM intervention) disadvantage, and probably an Uncouth (can not have social skills) disad as well... In an RPG with deadly situations that character would have had to be replaced a dozen times over[
Look about a 1/3 of the way down under the section "Portait of a Suit Case Nuke" (or something like that). There is even talks of suitcase nukes that weigh as little as 30 kilograms.

A psychic terrorist/ Astral Lord....
Uses Astral Reconfiguration to reconfigure a suitcase nuke. A bit expensive, but worth the investment (unless he can convince someone else to reconfigure it). Now to deliver... Hmmm take it through a dream portal? NAh.. Use astral transference and take it anywhere in the world(s) and drop it off!!!
This book is great for ideas on Psychic assassins.

That too.
Reason I suggested reconfiguring the nuke, is to use it as a nuke on the astral plane.
Besides if I remember correctly, you cant bring something into the Astral, without it being reconfigured (or is reconfiguring to be able to "use" the item on the Astral?)

Since as an astral traveller it is possible to straddle both the Astral Plane and the Physical Plane at the same time and affect both through the use of psionics... What if that nuke is straddling both dimensions with you?

For Astral Lords and Astral Mages, it takes one minute of concentration both to enter and return from the Astral Plane.
For other psychics, it would appear that Astral Transference only requires a single melee action, like any other power. Other psychics have to expend I.S.P. though, so I assume the time was deemed a balance factor.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave and keep on thinking free.

now, does the timer work on physical time or subjective time ?
just have the A-Mage/Lord setup a small (minimum size A-Domain, where time is matched with earth. And straddle the A-Plane and the Physical plane from within your domain (or the domain of the man you just killed). the nukes time will then work/be subjected to normal temporal flow.

I had to think of all this when I suggested it to my GM a year or two back. The scary thing is that
a) I had a suitcase nuke (thanx to that high level security ranking in Spook Squad.)
b) New a A.lord who would do this.

Campaign unfortunately ended shortly before I could implement my plan.
