Ok, I've got a new player who wants to make a face. What cyber does a face have that will improve their faceness? Tailored Pheromones is obvious, voice modulator seems useful, what else can He take to make him artificially personable? What stuff should he take to round himm out? Is adept a better choice? Augmented adept? How does one make a face?

QUOTE (Wakshaani @ Jun 16 2011, 11:52 PM)  Without Masking, an adept's aura is clearly magical. At any rate, a little assensing should indicate that someone is an adept and, from there, they might or might not decide to negotiate with a different team member instead. Your Johnson May Vary and all that. Two hits on an Assensing Test reveal that he's an adept, which are hard to get, once he has Masking. But passive powers never leave a signature. At least I couldn't find it. QUOTE (Mäx @ Jun 17 2011, 03:43 AM) Meaning he kills the team and moves to the next team in his list, hoping they won't be totally retarded amateurs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) If he has these kind of resources, he didn't need to hire them in the first place. Especially killing the team on the spot. I have never met a Johnson with this kind of backup at the meeting. I'm a shadowrunner, I would have noticed. |

QUOTE (Makki @ Jun 17 2011, 03:22 PM) If he has these kind of resources, he didn't need to hire them in the first place. The fact that a standart corpore Johnson is hiring a team of deniable assets has absolutely nothing to do with him lagging in resources and everything to do with him needing a team of deniable assets. Also it's not really hard to kill a bunch of retarded amateur runners with a surprise attack from a couple of goons. |
