He is a cheating munchkin. Get him!
Seriously, the only books that talk about HMHVV is Runner's Companion and Running Wild. None of them talks about HMHVV mutation that infects only an arm |

there is nothing in Augmentation about this.
There is rules for cyborgs, cybermancy and biodrones, nothing about mutated HMHVV that infects only an arm. Yes, you may call shenanigans. Just for curiosity, is this person a member of this forum too? |

Just for curiosity, is this person a member of this forum too? if they are im not aware of it. if they are i hope they read this. though they may be a member of the official sr4 board. we have no looked through all of runners companion and augmentations and are now going back to the core book. |

it kind of is isnt it. but its also a bit sad when people want to cheat at a cooperative game.
im just wanting them to come clean at the moment entertaining the idea that they are telling the truth. |

Sorry, it's just incredibly brazen, that's all. It *is* possible that they're honestly mistaken, if that helps.
My personal response would be simply, 'no Essence Drain, whatever the source', although it obviously depends on your game. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

they came out and said it was made up. they just wanted some vampire powers without the drawbacks.
edit : shinobi called it. |

Oh. Well I was about to say that you can tell them that the authority on HMHVV in Shadowrun 4th Ed says that he was making things up, but it looks like he 'fessed up.

...Player character with essence drain?
<Take a deep breath, and let it all flow out, propelled by the diaphragm.>> "FINISH! HIM!" ..and explain, politely, that you've been unable to find any reference to it, so he's not got that ability. Or remind him that the Pale Master class for Wizards is a Prestige class and up to you as the DM to rule upon. Then have a go-ganger shoot his d4 ass and loot his robes. -Tir |
