I assume we can select gear and whatnot from any 3rd Edition books, right? Just curious before I start picking stuff outta SOTA: 2063. :)

Within reason. After all, you guys get this stuff earlier than the streets.
But something that comes out in Dec. 2063 is too far. This game starts in March of 2062. |

I'm talking survival gear, ghille suits, combat vests, and whatnot. |

Did anyone already snag the combat rigger spot? I see it's still on the opening post as being available....

Sounds perfectly fine, Dr. Funk.

Everyone might want to pick up the language "Sioux Handsigns". It has not R/W

Ok, I understand that for cyberware we are capped at availibility 12, but what about for equipment? I was going to get some APDS an AV ammo, but they are 14 and 16 on the availibility. You had also mentioned to tanka about getting an Ares Redline, which has an availibility of 18, so I assume that we can go at least that high, I just wanted to make sure.

Yep. The cap on cyberware is only there to reflect that the Sioux don't use a lot. If you have your heart set on something that makes sense, swing it by me.

I think I'm trying to do too many things. Right now, I've got a medico/sniper/sorcerer and I'm running short of points. This requires some rethinking. What areas does the team lack strength in?

I would like AV ammo & APDS ammo for my rifle (a Walther MA-2100) and some Light Military Armor with a Helmet.
edit: Also, how many arrowheads can I Dikote with one 100 cm unit of the stuff? I usually use 10 arrows per 100 cm, but I wanted to make sure that was fine by you. |

How much Ruthinium Polymer do I need to cover the Light Military Armor and its Helmet?

Grey, that quote needs to move into the "Things you don't want to hear..." thread over in the Shadowrun forum ;)

Awww! But it'll be so much fun! Military Armor can have so many neat things added to it. What makes the Ruthinium extra fun is the Thermal Dampening added on top of it! :eek:

Well, calculate the surface area of the human body. Increase it by 15%. There you go.

Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill. Group: Dumpshocked Posts: 6,545 Joined: 26-February 02 From: Gloomy Boise Idaho Member No.: 2,006 |
Moose, can I buy Karma with cash before the game starts? That way I have Karma for sumoning and initiating?

Do we need to purchase a Personal Comm Unit or Transciever? If so, what ratings should we get (it wouldn't make much sense for everyone to have different ratings since you lose the lowest one on the network if memory serves) and whatnot?

I think the group was wanting to do battletac systems instead of comm links. I think that'll cover both roles.

I was under the impression that they were completely different. Can someone double check that?
Yeah, I was right. They need to be hooked to at least a Transciever (Rating 4). CC, p. 53. A Personal Unit would be ideal; it includes a Transciever, headset, DNI control, (Rating x2) frequencies, ECCM, and Encryption equal to its rating. That's assuming someone snags a Master Unit, of course. :) |

Yeah, I see that. I think someone was buying a master battletac unit. You don't really have to have the master comm unit to use the personal comm units, though.

Personal Comm Unit (Rating 4) would probably be good enough for us for now. If we have trouble keeping our communications network encrypted, we can always (get the Sioux Nation to) upgrade the units.
Any objections? A Personal Comm Unit (Rating 4) costs 6,000 nuyen, weights half a kilo, and has a Concealability of 9 for those who don't own CC. You don't need any other gear to use it, such as subvocal microphones or earplugs, so it's a pretty good investment compared to a Transciever or even a Micro-Transciever. |

Well, for right now I have to skip the BattleTac... I don't have the nuyen for it. Especially since I want to be Essence-friendly with Betaware! :D
Sounds like an ad... "Now you can be Essence-friendly too, with Betaware®!" Other than that, dropped to 2.22 Essence and have 7k sitting about. I'll drop another 3k of stuff to get the external at 10k. |

Yes. The first requirement for the Wildcat Initiation is Oath (Sioux Nation). You have to pay no dues. Wait until I have some time to make the group that you'll be using. Remember to pay the 3 karma to join the group. Dr. Funk Note this is a reversal of my original position! |
