I'll second the :rotfl: and I have to ask: What does the "Hellblast" do? |

My personal favorite is one I stole from Fallout 2. A street doc named "Painless" Doc Johnson. The reason he's painless is because most people pass out from the pain before he's done.
I called the one-shot street samurai out of the SR3 main book Jack D'Rip and he mopped the floor with those damn gangers from the Food Fight module. I had a rigger who was blind named Black Eyed Tom. Polar Bear - An arms dealer who always had the AC down to 50 degrees or lower. I had some extra bodies to fill up the roster called Meat Boy and Dead Meat in Japanese. Big Balled Billy - An orc decker with an axe to grind about his "package" size. |

It was a 2nd edition version of Fireball. But damage codes were fixed as part of the spell back then. Hellblast was the one with damage code of 'Force + 6 D' (and the drain was a killer). I have since re-built Wiggy under fourth edition rules. If I ever play in a game and can convince the GM I'm not min-maxing (which usually takes about 1/2 hour of watching me role-play the happy idiot), I'll be playing Wiggy. :D |

Heh. Reminds me of Pronto from Schlock Mercenary. hmmm... do we have any readers of Schlock Mercenary in the audience? And, be honest, have any of your (N)PCs ever quoted "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pirates"? (note to self: must now create NPCs based off of Sergeant Schlock, Cap. Tagon, Pronto, Kevyn, and, most especially, Ellen "Elf" Foxworthy. hehe...) |

My favorite NPCs from way back when I still GMed Shadowrun:
Trollkien - a teenage prodigy who goblinized into a Troll just after his first sci-fi novel made the best-seller list. After the change, he found he just couldn't hack it as a writer anymore (editors just won't take him seriously) and now he's a bitter old (for a troll) man who gets by on occasional bodyguard contracts. His handle is a play on the name of his childhood hero. Sarge - Imagine the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket, but as a dwarf. |
