now i remember, it was the transcripts from some campaign someone had played, where one of the character where called barbie (the player also used that as the nick on the old undernet shadowrun irc channel). SR2 timeframe most likely and insanely over the top. im not sure if it was barbie or some other character that was a phanter shifter...

well, there was the female panther shifter in one of the novels as well . . i think it was eternitas or something like that . . kaimag, the lead nega mage actually threatens someone to fuck her just to see what would happen . . he destroyed foci just by touching them and in a similar manner broke through unbelieveable strong magical wards or something like that . . his touch actually hurt normal mages, as though he were a living mana void

Trust me, you don't want to get to this point.

of all the things to quote (IMG:style_emoticons/default/silly.gif)

oh god, don't remind me of bondage fairies please x.x i once read one of those comics by accident x.x . .
it is now an all too possible possibility (@.@ maho?) in SR4 . .

One word : monowhip.

or mono garotte . . or mono chainsaw . . even if it's small, it will hurt more than just your feelings ^^

Mono-chainsaws actually suck as a weapon.

not style wise, they don't . . and they won't rules wise, as soon as i figure out how to launch them at people over distance too!

I'm pretty sure ranged suck still sucks.

but it will suck WITH STYLE! <.<
and suck from so far away, that you won't see where it came from so it don't matter anyhow 'cause i won't be there anymore so nyyaa! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
and a small chainsaw going through your bellybutton into your guts is still as bad as a big chainsaw going through your stomach into your guts <.<

Now I want to make a pixie Adept with a bow named Cupid.

Can pixies SURGE?

Yes.

"Need two surged pixies, one with horns and the works, one with a face that can melt glaciers. Name your price."

"Specify 'the works'."

Red skin, tail, satyr legs, bat wings, a pixie-sized pitchfork, and high Fast Talk DP for giving Evil Advice, I imagine.

The other pixie should have feathery angel wings, a halo, and an equally high Fast Talk DP for giving Good Advice.

Both should be comfortable siting or standing on a person's shoulder for long stretches of time.

Exactly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Nice job, gang. Not what I was initially thinking, but still.......Bravisimo. *applause*

The Pixie as a PC is not very far fetched as they have had a 50+ years to come in contact with the modern world and at least with places like Tir Tangiere.

Some of them will surely have had a deeper contact and who knows, even set up tribes/homes in the sprawls.

Meet "Dust" the Pixie

Usually at home in Tir Tangiere he have moved to seattle after he got the word that his brother had disappeared when going to a gathering of his magical group.

Dust is a Bountyhunter and runner.

Now, what can he do? Well, his tiny little hand crossbow is the size of an SMG in his hand and have been modified with some extras.

Included in the package is a smartlink, improved clip and modification to the handle and trigger so he can handle it. He also have a Tazer Club that he uses in two hands.

What makes this little guy dangerous is that weapon strength isn't important with Stick N Shock arrows, Incendiary Arrows and Screamer Heads.
Ok, incendiary arrows aint so hot (no pun intended) as a direct damage weapon but people tend to panic a bit when on fire...

Commanding voice is also very nice as he can scream "Drop and give me 50" while completely hidden.

Not to mention that getting armour to fit is no problem as he is a mystic adept with the Fashion spell and Ruthenium Camouflage in the armour.

He also have five levels of "Cloak" adept power and a specialization against detection spells when counterspelling. Ah yes, he also have his Concealment power at magic rating 5...

Anyone trying to even LOOK at him would have how much minus?

First beat the -5D6 and succeed against the Concealment...

Then beat the Ruthenium -4D6 to see him normally...

Only weakness is that IF they find him with astral sight he might be in trouble...

That's when he actually hides...
