Dumpshock Forums _ Shadowrun _ [Rule Creation] Chinese Acupuncture & An Chi
Posted by: TheQuestionMan Jan 13 2006, 07:15 PM
Greeting Dumpshockers, I have a question for Shadowrun Guru's.
1. How would you create this Ability?
2. Is it Game Balanced?
3. Would this fall under Adept Abilities?
4. Does anyone remember the Martial Art Form that uses Throwing Spikes/Needles?
5. Could you call these Abilities "Chemical"?
Cheers
QM

Sounds about right. Or maybe Missle Mastery.

killing hands M 1.0
nerve strike 1.0
delay damage 2.5
missel mastery 1.0
Power blow x1 0.5

I did it quick and easy and made it a complementary skill to use in 'unarmed' combat. To balance a bit though, since potentially the PC could get a ton more dice, I applied a -1 reach modifier. The higher damage you can inflict frmo the extra dice reflected the extra pain/damage you were putting onto the body.

You guys do know what An Qi means, right? Right?

okay...? was that something from the movie? all i really remember about it is "Jet Li paralyzes people and beats up an entire police department".

In Kiss of the Dragon, he used a needle to put a girl into a coma (so she wouldn't cause trouble for him while he was going to get her daughter). He also stuck a needle in the back of a guy's neck and caused him to bleed from every available orifice in the head before he keeled over dead R2-D2 style. Worst climax ever.
I can't recall him using them much in combat. I know he did, I just can't remember any of it, except the title move.

Yeah it was a shitty movie,
Jet Li: Hey a hooker i better help **says under his breath** and mayb some love for crack.
Hooker: can you help me get my bastard of a child back?
Jet Li: yeah one sec, let me get some crack first!

Yes, we can all agree it was a terrible movie, but like Equalibrium there are some neat ideas that we can try to emulate.

Like dodging bullets and shooting fast in directions you don't look? Who doesn't have that idea?

Now, that you poste it, it sounds more, as if Equilibrium borrowed from SR. 
Posted by: Mr.Platinum Jan 18 2006, 04:28 PM
No, Equilibrium borrowed from 1984.

Er... do you mean 1984? As in George Orwell's "1984"? Because yes, the setting is an amalgam of the great anti-utopia books of the mid-twentieth century: "1984", "Farenheit 451" and "Brave New World".
But none of those featured gun kata, bullet dodging or fighting six guys at a time. I think those parts were drawn from another source.

Animal Farm?
Oh, c'mon that was funny.

Only in your own twisted little world.

You're just mad because you're a figment of my imagination.
