Will people stop bitching about this?
This has been done in how many threads now? Agree to disagree and be done with it . . Nobody seems to care that my Binky is a frigging Centaur with 6 Arms and -15 or so Essence . . |

I apologize but I don't actually know who Blinky is, I have however considered a Surged character with 6 arms and 6 ballistic shields.... |

Reinforced and possessed shields! EXACTLY! EDIT: LAWL I just did some quick math Assuming F6 Spirits we get 6 possessing spirits (x6!) = 72 6 Harden spells at F6 = 36 6 Ballistic Shields = 36 Total 144 Ballistic / 132 Impact ...LAWL this is just off of shields alone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotate.gif) Of course this would present a few movement problems, however you can run two of these shields (for a armor rating of 12 vs your body, the add-ons don't matter) and still move around, I think somewhere around 50 armor for two sheilds is worth it. Then again if you are rigging this will never be a problem. EDIT 2: Lol don't forget Gel pack on the shields, for another 6/6, this is so easy! EDIT 3: Six armed surged character with two uber shields and 4 full auto SMGS and Suppress the area x4, while having a huge armor pool to soak damage while you block a hallway....Dwarven Defender anyone?> |

Don't forget the Snake Mesh Socks, r6 Reinforced as well, for an additional 6/8 armor to attacks directed at your feet!
And f6 Reinforcing gel packs in your armor, assuming only 1 you can get an additional 7/7 armor. |

Wait! You mean there's heavier armor than an armored coat at 6/4? Sheesh...the GM has been holding out on us.

So...
Full body replacement with armor modifications: 22/22 Total: 22/22 Dodge Guardian with Walker Mode/2 Arms and max vehicle armor: 16 Rigger coccoon (f6 Reinforced): 36 Total: 42 For the person Full PPP (5 pieces): 2/6 r6 Reinforce for all 5: 30 FFBA shirt: 3/0 r6 Reinforce: 6 Armor Jacket: 8/6 r6 Reinforce: 6 Total: 55/54 6 possessing spirits (x6!) = 72 6 Harden spells at F6 = 36 6 Ballistic Shields = 36 Total: 144/132 1 f6 Reinforced gel pack: 7/7 Total: 7/7 f6 Reinforced Snake Mesh Socks: 6/8 Total: 6/8 Grand Total: 270/257 (276/265 for attacks against your feet) Not bad. EDIT: With a 16 point magical group contact (1 Connection/6 Loyalty [+1 District Wide, +4 Most Magical, +2 20-99 Members]), you can find about 50 people willing to cast and sustain the spells required for the above for you, so this can be done with a mundane character. You can even subtract the six spirits posessing the shields and still be left with 198(204)/185(193), which is more than enough. |

That is why he puts on the jacket and FFBA shirt, gets in the vehicle and jacks in, then has drones put all the PPP and shields on him.
ARG, did I just help out this twink horror of a thread? |

Including putting on all that armor and getting into that vehicle. False. It goes something like this: You sit on your couch, get comfortable, go VR, have some Renraku Manservant III drones put your armor on and load you into the car, then go to town, still in VR. You don't have to put a single piece on. |

In all fairness, I said that on the original thread when the same guy made the same arguement. Seems he forgot about it. |

Guys... I can't believe you seem to have overlooked military-grade armour. For a mere 30,000 (plus Restricted Gear), you get 18/16 armour with buckets of capacity for add-ons (including the potential to have the incredibly useful chemical seal), an upgradable military-grade commlink and other built-in goodness. And there's no penalty, because, being custom-fitted, it uses BODx3 for encumbrance. Other than that, the metagenetic dermal deposits aren't a bad idea for 5BP (and a minor metagenetic flaw), or you could slap on something like orthoskin 3. Honestly, for a human, 22/20 is probably plenty. The other fun thing to do would be to go around on a Horseman Personal Mobility Vehicle with 8 Smart armour and the Reflective Hull upgrade (so lasers and gauss weapons don't halve your sweet, sweet armour) and throw on another 10 Personal Armour (which is used when people try to shoot at you through the vehicle), so enemies either have to deal with 18 additional armour (plus your own... we're up to 40, yes?) or take out the vehicle first. Buying Military Grade armor and It's Helmet.. ok, now i want to upgrade Response and Signal to 6 (8500yen) (Arsenal p. 51) Do i have to get 2 more Restricted Item quality to get them (both have Availibility 16) (BBB 240) or just buy them by paying 17k (2x8500 yen) more?? |

Military armor is NOT GOOD because you can't get PPP and FFBA with it. you end up with lower possibilities with it. For example: you get Heavy Milspec, but it only has 20 capacity for armor enhancements. On the other hand, you get an armor vest with full PPP and full-body FFBA, you have 2 less armor (for both ballistic and impact), it takes slightly more encumberance, but you have a lot more room for enhancements (the FFBA and the vest alone give you a lot, much less every piece of PPP). And you also have more room for Reinforce spells with FFBA+PPP+Vest. A potential extra 42 mroe points of armor. |

This is why Shadowrun needs the APCA creation rules from CP2020, so you can REALLY tweak out that milspec armor.
And while I don't know the RAW, I think the interpretation of gelpacks and reinforce spells stacking between individual pieces of armor is disingenuous at best. But if you're going that direction, why not just rule that you can apply reinforce spells to all the different components of the milspec armor. |

But if you're going that direction, why not just rule that you can apply reinforce spells to all the different components of the milspec armor. Because for the purposes of the game, Milspec Armor is one piece of armor. Now, technically, you can Reinforce the same armor over and over again, as SR has no spell-stacking rules, unlike D&D. To that effect, you could simply cast the armor spell (or have it cast on you) on yourself 15 times. But most people would like to see one effect per item. The RAW about gel packs and Reinforce spells is thus: (suggested) one Gel Pack upgrade per piece of armor, and Reinforce spells just add armor. The armor is added to the item, and you get the item's armor, thus you get the Reinforce spell. |

I never posted in that BS thread. Then I apologize, I'm probably thinking of Tarantula making the same arguements. That is no excuse for not adding any constructive criticism to the thread at all, however. The only posts you have made have been negative against myself and Ragewind, and have involved profanity (either implied or actually used), which is simply poor sport. I suggest either not reading this thread if it bothers you so much, cleaning up your language and using actual debate tactics (such as: you can't do this because of that rule [and list them]), or actually add something constructive to this thread. |

A potential extra 42 mroe points of armor. ...milspec armor give 24 enchantment points (1,5x16) and helmet 3 enchantment points (1,5x2), no other armor can give that opportunity.. i thought that if wearing 2 pieces of armor and enchant 1 to max other piece's could not be enchanted (no stacking??) |

Incorrect. The capacity of the armor superceeds the enhancement rules. This is actually nicer, as you can more easily get r6 all armor enhancements. The main attraction of Milspec are the milspec only armor systems, so why waste those possibilities on other armor? Also, there is no ruling against stacking spells in the game. You can also wear multiple Nonconductivity (just supposing), although only the highest amount counts. |
