Ultimate Mundane Climber, Got bored, so here it is Options

The way SHadowrun handles movement makes me a sad, sad Hagga.

[hobgoblin]

it seems the way SR handles anything is bound to make someone, somewhere, very very sad...

crap, im turning into a grumpy old geezer...

[Hagga]

It's more the fact that you can outpace a car with a little effort.

The world's tallest structure Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which is 828m tall...you can climb at 280m minute...you would be up that in under 3 minutes. That's insane!

Good work

[Mardrax]

Oh, get your building sizes to a Shadowrun scale already (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Good work

and completely rules legal with room for improvement in both directions.

Holy Necroposting Avianman!

Hey, this thread DESERVES to live again!
This was one of the VERY FIRST broken builts of SR4 . .
And still is one of the few actually imaginative ones . .
Or have you ever seen acrobatics/climbing min/maxed before?

[KarmaInferno]

Needs paired grapple hands.

I just had a memory flash of Bionic Commando in my head.. thanks KarmaInferno.

[Stahlseele]

Has at least one Grapple-Hand, i think.
Two would not fit because of essence, if my calculations are correct.

My climber has a DP of 21. And I much prefer him to the monstrosity presented here. *shrug*

[Stahlseele]

All kitted out, this "Monstrosity" has 46 dice in climbing.
If you can live with 40 dice instead, it can free up, i think, about 150 BP . .
Law of diminishing returns comes into play very much here i think . .

And nobody is forcing you to use this one. It's just a proof of concept to show what is possible after all.
But you could look at it for pointers on what you could still improve on your climber, if you actually still want to improvie his climbing.

Me?
Personally?
I'd call it a day at 36 dice in climbing i think.
Put some more stuff into soaking damage.
Even if it's HIGHLY unlikely for me to be falling, it could still happen.
Hell, i could see the need to actively jump down from somewhere a bit higher up.
Maybe even as a means of attack. DFA. But i like Troll Monstrosities that do something different than HURR DURR Heavy Damage/Soak!

No Arguments... Diminishing Returns gets brutal...

But I see no real need for 46 Dice in Climbing. Even as a Proof of concept, it lacks "something" that gives it that spark of life. I usually look for that something to find a playable character. As for pointers, don't really need any. The Character I have is good enough, without having stats/skills even near maxed (so he has room to grow if he wants to), and has a lot of other potentials, which the Proof of concept lacks. As an exercise, the Maxed Climber is a success, as a playable character, I call him an utter failure.

Just My two (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) of course, and no disresepct intended Stahlseele. Not bad for a Dice pool exercise though.

As for your opinion on Trolls, I agree. My climber is a Surged Human, though.

[Stahlseele]

The one thing i really hate in this built is, that it is fundamentally incompatible with the one most rad cyberware piece i can find in SR4 . . skimmer-disk-feet/hover-feet ._.
I know you meant no disrespect, you usually don't. And if you do, you usually go out of your way to make it clear too ^^
And . . wait . . your climber is a HUMAN? O.O
OK, then the 21 dice for climbing should be a bit more in perspective, as most of the more extra dice in this build come from being a troll i think ^^

Indeed, A human... Interesting Story actually, and a really interesting character. At least I think so anyways.
Skimmer disks are very interesting. Saw a Dwarven Tank build using them. Interesting.

Yes, your character certainly does sound interesting.

A Dwarven Tank . . Well, he could add extra Armor to your Legs at least, if you were to push him along in front of you on his skimmer discs *snickers* ^^

Is the enemies gate down?
