How can any troll look like a human without losing, like, all his stat bonuses?

well at the worst he just does't have any horns or dermalplateing(or the dermal deposits are lessened) but he is still troll sized (so in tweaking he could be a giant metavariant), so he just decided to get some fake tusks and be a ork posser (and he likes to cross dress too)

Is there anything more to the character's personality besides cross-dressing and tusks?

so course an other mongrelization character could be an Elf looking, Human, Troll Poser (Mongrelization should be rare-This is when a character of one Metatype looks like another Metatype but Poses as a Third Metatype

@emo samurai: Does there need to be? I mean, a flamingly gay troll is an awsome character concept, and an easy one to write a history for. For extra fun, make him a cat shaman.

Is A Kidnap/Extraction/Grab-up specialist-Likes to use Disguises (Doesn't just cross dress for fun) The others in his crew are the human Male Quadriplagic Hacker- A Militiaite Female Dwarf Sorcery Adapt (Like the Pinkskins but MUCH more militant and they admit ALL RACES AND METATYPES-basicly just Very anti Corp-Cort and UN[unless you count the PINKSKIN MAFIA but that is another story] (AND THEY REMEMBER WACO AND MOVE!!!!!!! ;) ) and also the FIRST WINDLING/SPRITE TECHNOADAPT (just a SR4 version of the oft-therorized but rarely used O-RIGGER) [These are ment to be very experimental characters], {and I have more ideas :rotfl: }

He isn't limited to being GAY- he is more METASEXUALL- he will basicly do it with almost ANYTHING, and all his cyberarm weppons are quiet for extractions

The quadripegic hacker is nothing new or exciting. There've been wheelchair-bound deckers in novels stretching back...well...pretty far. And, similarly, there've been plenty of crippled/handicapped/whatever-term-you-like decker and rigger player characters running around for quite some time. Nothing terribly shocking or clever to it. Sorry. Oh, hey, wait. I just said they were "running" around. Woo, I kill me. Anyways, moving on:
As far as the other, it's such a mish-mash of really weird shit I'm largely incapable of commenting on it without remarkable vulgarity being involved, of the level that gets me those oh-so-friendly PM's from Bull with subject lines like "time out" or "warning" or "you've been a naughty puppy." But, since you specifically asked for me to comment, I'll do my very best to give some input and keep Bull of my back. No promises. Crossbows and flamethrowers and shit built into arms are bad enough. A human-looking ork-poser troll is...like...calling something a housecat-looking jackal-poser timberwolf (see how silly that sentence looks?). Then, on top of having a crossbow and a flamethrower in his arms, for some silly reason he's a cross dresser (to make him even more subtle and covert, for extractions!). Picture that, in your head. Picture some dude that's about four feet taller and three feet wider than you, IRL, but is somehow supposed to be "human looking" despite all that. Give him tusks, now. Give him cyberarms, now. Put a crossbow in one arm, a flamethrower in the other, and toss in a lasergun and a mace-sprayer for good measure. Now put him in a dress. What about that says "covert operative/subtle professional criminal," to you? |

And, for some reason, "edit" doesn't work.
In closing: Look at that character I just described. The giant dude with tusks in a dress, with all the stupid guns and lasers and stuff in his arms. Picture that guy, in your head. Now, imagine yourself as a professional criminal in your default Shadowrun game. Picture walking into a Meet, and being told you're doing an extraction with that...dude/chick, ork/troll/human...whatever. And now picture them flirting with you, and Mister Johnson, and your dog, and your girlfriend, and your team-mate, all either at the Meet or at the planning session just afterwards. Do you really wanna trust your life and rep with that person? Do you want to go on a sneaky-sneaky-tip-toe intrusion with them? Do you want to hear they specialize in "subtle, nondescript, extraction" work? |

As I mentioned before, I fully support the idea of a flamingly homosexual troll, however, I do agree with Critas about him being, well, riddiculous. He needs to be the baddest mother-fragger in the room, so bad that Mr. Johnson doesn't care that he showed up to the meet wearing lipstick and a mini-skirt (or pink star shaped glasses, or whatever). He definately doesn't need all of that superfluous crap in his cyberarms. Really, he doesn't need two cyberarms either, one will sufice. That way he saves quite a bit of money, and gives him a 'good hand' for melee combat (because the Strength scores on cyberarms just plain suck). A crossbow is a dumb cyber-implant weapon too, give him a silenced SMG instead. From a game mechanic point of view, Human Looking is just a waste of BP if you also take Ork-Poser, you can safely drop that aspect of his character without hurting the concept too much (just take one of the two, you don't need both). I think you just need to tone him down a bit (and by a bit, I mean to the point where he fits within the boundries of common sense).

I just wanted to add that I hereby agree with Critias in all things he may say in the future. Unless he's bashing SR4.
I remember when I went through a phase where I would makre REDICULOUS characters for no reason. I can clearly look back on those days and say to my self "what the hell was I thinking" Yet no character i ever concieved even comes close to these. And I made an " Albino quadrapeligic troll mouse shaman" once. *shudder* |

Don't we all? I mean, we all came up (yes, we did ALL) with these kind of characters: 1)Quadraplegic hacker 2)Blind swordman-adept in aura perception Comon, I know we all did... and we all droped them too, at least, most of us did. And the funny part is: we all think our idea is better than the one from the guy next'door. We all came up with something unique in their backgroud to make them 'alive', 'special'. My hacker wasnt really quadriplegic he was just lying in a DocWagon hospital'bed because he felt that was the safest place for him, and such he hacked the medical tools to make him appear as comatose. See? We all had those 'pass'... youth has to come-and-go-by I guess ((Can I say come-and-go-by? I speak french, and it makes sense when I translate it..))) |

Nope, never made a decker.
Nope. The closest I ever came to a swordsman are my plethora of psychotic razorboy characters. The closest I ever came to a blind character were my ghoul characters.
It should be 'come, and go by'. Also, remember to capitalize proper nouns, that's the number one mistake I see Francophones make when they write in English (I can't blame them either, I think that it's a rather stupid convention of this language). |

Feedback for Windling Cyberadapt (updated O-Rigger):
Well to start, what do the following terms mean:
I'm guessing the windling is a earthdawn critter like a D&D pixie might be. I'm not even sure what to make of an O-Rigger, does the O stand for something? like "Oh crap"? or "Orgasm"? "Organic"? ooh, organic would work. So if we're looking at a pixie looking adept that drives cars. Given that my guess work above is true or close enough to the truth, then my only question is: What would being a windling add to the mix? If they can fly, why drive? |

And Jesus, B-A, learn learn when to use capitalization and smileys. I thought I was bad, capitalizing words in the middle of sentences. Do Not capitalize whole sentences. you think it adds emphasis. It just makes your posts impossible to read. Do not add smileys, especially more than one. You think it adds emotion. It just makes you look dumb. Use parapgraph breaks. It makes your posts easier to read.
If you want your ideas taken seriously, learn to present them well. Please. |

A good point was made when it's been said many of us have been thru the 'weird character' phase. Where you just want to make something as different as possible, for whatever reason...somtimes we tire of playing the 'Ninja Adept' or 'Elven Mage" or 'Bruiser Troll". But we learned the hard way there is going against the grain (troll mages, adepts built not like ninjas, etc), and then there is just plain WAY different....to the point where the usefulness of the character is questioned.
"Troll Magician with Infirm" isn't so bad. That character can still act professional, can still be a useful member of the group. 'Elf with Two Kid Stealth Legs, 2 Cyberarms with Flamethrowers, Horns, a Tail and fangs with SURGED red eyes and a furry chest with the Criminal SIN flaw, a severe addiction to BTL, Combat Monster, Vindictive and Impulsive" just becomes well.....not a good idea. |

You can always get the point across by having them start with said character, and letting things progress logically. I've had runs where the other characters refused ot work with the oddball outright, and that player had to spend the session making a new character because the rest of the group wouldn't run with their first one. Heck, as a GM now, I'd allow the player to make that character, then just not invite them to the meet. After all, no sane Johnson would work with them. then they'd have to spend the session watching those who can make good characters do thier stuff, and maybe learn.
Or go home in a huff, never to play with me again. Either way. On the other side of the coin, if the whole party wants to do that kind of thing, then they can go for it. It can be fun to play rediculous characters for a while, and if the whole group wants that kind of beer and pretzles game, Then blow your wad, go crazy. Just, Please, don't post the charater up for review. I say this in general, to every character concept. Don't post it up for review. Your idea isn't new. It isn't cool. It fits perfectly in your campaign, great. It fully illustrates what you enjoy about SR, fine. But I guarentee, it will either bore or offend a large number of people here, and if you really, really want approval for your character concept, talk to the people you game with. They are the only ones qualified to evaluate it. |

Interesting and unique characters.... 'Scout', an uncybered mundane sociopathic ten-year-old contract killer. Specializes in improvised explosives and social engineering but is handy with a shotgun in a pinch. Her street name comes from her sizable collection the girl scout uniforms which she often uses on runs. She isn't really a girl scout, she just kills them and takes their clothes. No one takes her seriously because of her age, of course, and she plays into that fact. Her cute and innocent act gets her close to targets and lets her avoid capture.
Memorable quotes include: "Sticking a knife in someone's gut and feeling their life flow out.... it's better and sex." "When I first ran away I survived by working as a cheap joytoy. The differences between that and this are that I enjoy this and the pay is much better." "Don't eat my cookies; there's C4 in them." "Frag it!, there's chunks of him on my clothes. I'll have to kill another girl scout " |

Ok first to clear things up An O-Rigger is the Theoretical Rigger Version of an Otaku from SR3-I figure that with the new rules of SR4 an O-Rigger would become the Cyber-Adapt--basicly the trick here would be for Resonence to someway be induced/inducted into either a vehicle, drone, or building--A windling is one of the Earthdawn races-but if used in shadowrun it may be called a sprite as well
The real cool concept then is to just go overboard and have a-Windling/Sprite Cyberadapt; He/She(it?) is one of the members of my admitingly Extreamly high concept shadowruning team. This Windling operates under the code-name Frenzeak (Transformers reference) the other members of this team I have mentioned so far are Perv (Everyone's fav Cross-Dressing, Giant-Ork Poser, Cybered Streetsam) One(Qudra-Pleagic Hacker), and Milti-shiela, The Militia-ite female dwarf sorcery Adapt I've also got an other idea for a Hacker, The first Sasquatch Hacker! He goes by the code name FuzzyLogic If anyone wants anymore characters just ask, I'm not out yet! |

When SR1 came out, I used to make characters like that. Then again, I was in high school and like all teenagers did not have a fully developed brain. Try the Wiki in the future. Generally speaking, you are going to get ripped apart putting them here and people will find your other posts to be less than worthless even when you have a serious question. |

Ugh. I woke up to this.
B-A: Upon reading your posts, then re-reading them in an attempt to glean more sense from them, I must say your ideas, while certainly creative, hurt my head. In my opinion, those kinds of characters belong in a highly customized version of Shadowrun that most of us here at DS don't play. As for my players and I, we like to stick to canon races and abilities, so that may explain why I am less than receptive about your character ideas. |

one question; just how is a flame thrower a stealth weapon?
Let's examine this shall we: GM - "you sneak to the corner of the hall. You see one human guard just around the corner in medium security armor, attempting to stay awake. However, about 40 feet down the hall is a security desk with three more guards drinking coffe." "troll" -ok, I defintely don't want to have those other guards noticing me, so I'll take him out with my flame thrower." GM - hmmmm.... ok, he drops to the ground screaming, erupting into a ball fo flame after you hose him down with your flame thrower. The fire alarm goes off, and the other guards pick up their weapons and begin firing, since they can see you pretty clearly in the 'fire light'. "Troll" - Hey! That was my stealth flamethrower! ........ [crickets chirp]...... |

back again
Even I didn't think that a flamethrower was a stealth wepon of course even mace or a microwave laser could have draw backs(chem detectors, Gaurds Screaming in Pain) Of course puting a orichalcum sprayed plastic bag wepon focus over a gaurd's face when he can't see you whit a Leshy helping you is probalby even better (ummppphhhh, ummppphhhhh,--we got him; {leshy-yeah yeah}) |

you do realize that orichalcum is a mteal, right? So it wouldn't be a bag, it'd be a bowl, making closing it somewhat difficult. That being said, what the hell is the point of an
!?
and how are you making a bag a weapon foci? Unless of course it's a crown royal bag full of dice ,which anyone in my group can tell you is a viable weapon. |

Grind the orihalcum into a powder and mix the powder with an airbrush paint . Instant spray-on orihalcum. It'll look great on your car, too.
As for making a plastic bag into a weapon focus, it would be doable. Reach 0 or -1 weapon for use exclusivly in subduing combat, uses exotic weapon skill or unarmed, breaks if a successful STR test is made against it. |

but for the love of god WHY!? Just use a friggin' garotte! And don't say because a garotte is a weapon, because a foci is a lot more restricted, where your garrote, that's probably not even restriced, since those certainly don't have to be obvious.
seriously, why make a plastic bag a weapon focus? Just makes no sense. |

Stupidity. Plastic bag as a disposable subdual weapon is a great idea. Plastic bag as a weapon focus is a giant waste to karma and nuyen since it won't survive one use. Now a rubber bag, that's where its at. |

Who about a pantheistic character with multiple mentor spirits (one bonus at a time determined at the start of every day) who follows the Four Horsemen. Not the ones from Revelations but Tully Blanchard, Ole Anderson, The Enforcer "Double A" Arn Anderson, and The Nature Boy Ric Flair.

You don't need the second "then." You don't need to capitalize grammar and spelling. You spelled captain wrong, and should have capitalized it since you were using it as a title. You should have capitalized I'll. You added an e to wait. You should have capitalized the I. I'm going to assume you knew not to capitalize again, but did so to show exclamation and emotion, rather that italicizing or bolding it. That's allowed. |

I've been thinking of a creative adept that makes music (similiar to how maria mercurial made music) that used it as centering for dodge and other things.
the adept would make sim recordings of the music based of the flow of battle, stealth, negotiations etc, would probably make a mint in recroding profits = ) |

Good morning.
I was mapping out this character in 3rd edition, but never had anywhere to play. He is basically a formerly wealthy actor whose mental instability was tipped over the edge when he discovered the accolades he had recieved were purchased by his film's producers. He has always had unusual quirks in his profession, and has nearly lost his entire identity. During a stay in a hospital for cosmetic surgery, he was offered a new 'role'. He would be surgically altered to allow him to impersonate any human, and even elf and ork mild metatypes in exchange for a short duration of services. He undertook surgery for the ruthenium dermal sheathing. His nose and ears were removed to allow for prosthetics to be switched out for various roles. His body no longer grows any hair, but he has a vast collection of wigs and false facial hair at his disposal. He is constantly assuming roles of the people he hunts, and even occasinally his teammates! The problem lies in 4th monetary limits. The ruthenium treatmen for dermal sheathing was very expensive in the old man and machine book, and completely out of the question with the new money limit. Considering how much the price of Wired Reflexes have gone down in 4th, would there be any chance of the ruthenium dermal sheathing going down as well? |

Psst, "You should have capitalized the I" is incorrect, since there's more than one of them, it should have been plural, or you could perhaps have written "You should have capitalized I". :D Edited for grammar. ETA: OK, so you commented on the "i'll" separately, but don’t think I’ll refrain from correcting people just because they didn't make a mistake. :wobble: |

accually i don't agree with the self fullfilling prophecy, more of a prediction on certain individuals behaviour.

A prediction yes, but a self-fulfilling one, you don't honestly think criteas bothers to do a thorough disection of grammatical and spelling errors of every post he reads do you? I doubt that and I have a very good idea of why he picked exactly that one. I've got errors in nearly every post I post, except for those I bother to run through a spell-checker and I seldom get corrected. |

yes a rubber bag sprayed with orichalcum metal flake paint would be more durrable than a plastic bag sprayed with the same
By the way what would be the cost of orichalcum metal flake paint? Talismongers would probably mess themselves to get some. The character who uses the bag is a human magican's way adept who works with Perv's team and uses the name Deav--he is like a vigalante homeless person Backing him up is a Single-Spell-Adept Leshy{Camo}(Yes!) who goes by the name Yeah-Yeah......so can I get a feedback on the feasablity of a Leshy Player Character? |

No, actually, I just did it to be funny. Way to assume everyone's "out to get you" or something, though. Two thumbs up, for failure to recognize irony. PS - It's "angry." No e required. |

I never assumed anything, i just think it's weak that people who think they are all rightious with being a Grammar/ Spelling bee cop.
It just makes me shake my head, that in reality it's their only true power over others is to be little them over their abilaty to SPEAL or Gramer. Are you that persons teacher? did they ask for your approaval? No. It just show's who's weak in character because of their own insecurities and they must attack other to feel good. It's the truth, i know and willingly admit my english and grammar at times can be bad, but i do not go out of my way to attack those with skill less than me. I know i have a great gift of surpassing many with my athletic abilaty, and at one point was humbled by one who defeated me in from well over 3000 people and on Pay per View and because of this humbling i am very greatful of this. Why you may ask? Well it brought me down to a more patient person, i am no longer cocky about my skills and when some one does somthing wrong in a technique I ask if they would like assistance. I do not go out of my way to say "Hey your abilaty is weak" because in the end it just goes to show the weakness in ones own self. now what is Sad that i had to teach you this? but because of your ignorance and emotional feelings towards this it will fall on dead ears....or in this case eyes. Oh yeah you should put that "e" in quotes...oh god i just stooped down to your level. :D |

Mr Platinum, I really can´t believe you´re trying to put yourself off as a humble and patient man. You see, I seem to find one of your annoyed and aloof one-liners in every thread I read as of late. I only keep from commenting because they usually only act as baits for an argument. Whether you know it or not, you do come of as a rather cocky person still.
And I don´t really buy this wounded feelings act. You do look for a fight when you go through all the threads of the day and post something about how unnecessary they all are, don´t you? What the heck, maybe I´m just reading you wrong. But there´s something about how you tend to adress whole groups of posters with one condescending comment, like here and here, that seems like assholery to me. Correct me if I´m wrong. |

Not you, Minty. Plati. I mean, shit, I make one little joke comment (to be ironic), and he goes on for like two pages, chock full of name calling and self esteem estimates and self righteous indignation and blah blah blah. Sad. |

That´s a relief. Still, you made me aware of how I´ve been reproofing people a lot lately, and I usually lack a bit of ironic cool, so it doesn´t surprise me if some think of me as a bit selfrighteous at times. It does feel good to speak your mind though :) . |

This thread is hilarious. But I'm afraid that, like many good things, this thread will have to come to an end.
One thing that shouldn't come to an end, however, is good grammar and spelling. ;-) |
