I want to start by saying that I am normally not the kind of player/GM who is all about total munchkinism. I normally run our bi-weekly SR game but last night one of the other players ran it, and I got a chance to try out a PC I had been working on for a while. I won't bother putting all of the background I have for the PC on here, but I actually have an 11 page background written for the PC. Basically he is a giant not so smart troll who has a lvl3 Johnson that acts like his father. The Johnson goes to his meets for him and directs him during the run. He is about 90% metal with only his arms not being cybered. I was discussing getting his weapons dikoted with one of the other PCs, and he in his usualy Eurotrash way, suggested that I get my PC dikoted. We us a system that awards karma to GMs for good runs, so that when they play they have some karma too. So I used decided to spend my remaining starting karma points to sell and get money to do it. My Gm decided that to 5'x55 squares would have to be bought, it ended up coming to somehting like 464,500 nuyen, but I paid it. He gave me a +1 Body +1 amor for it, which was nice, but not the best part. When I was talking about the cost of dikoting things my GM offered to use his handy dandy calculator to total it. He asked what I was dikoting and I just said something big for my PC, but was not sure what the size would be. So he asked exactly what I was dikoting and he would give me a size, when I said my PC, the look on his face was priceless. All throught the night the fact that my guy was dikoted came up over and over and made me laugh each and every time. I realzied they could not have just dikoted my guy all at once, but the idea that the sum of his parts minus the arms was dikoted thrilled me to no end. Just thought I would share this story.
