After the character shoots a Panther Assualt Cannon in a bio lab.
"You do realize that a round that size passes through a human body with little resistence, right?" |

GM: "The pin has been pulled on the grenade in the unconcious guard's hand, 20 meters away under the fuel tank of the tiny airplane which is your only way out of the Amazon jungle that spreads for 1000 km in all directions. As the drugs take hold in the guard his hand muscles relax and the grenade starts to slip ..."
Player: "WAIT! My Dart Rifle fires pins. What's my target number to shoot a pin into the grenade?" |

Actually, he might have a case for shooting the grenade and knocking it clear of the plane. As for trying to replace the pin in a grenade... And SR grenades use electronic timers. :grinbig: -Siege |

THat was actually done, in a Cyberpunk 2020 game. I'm dead serious, that entire setup *happened* to me. My answer?
A guy wearing Metal Gear (Heavy security armor, basically) had been killed with a punch to the face a bit earlier. I grabbed him, leapt with his body on top of the grenade, using him as a meat shield to muffle the blast. Worked pretty well. God, I loved that plane we stole. |

GM: Ok you see a guy over there that looks like the one that other guy you interrogated told you about. You look at him and he gives a dirty look.
Player: I go up to him GM: Right here in Dante's? Player: Yup! GM: Ok, your character knows that he is probably a vampire right? Player: Yes! GM: and he has seven other people with him. Player: SO! GM: which are probably vampires too Player: damn it yes! GM: (Hint #5) and you are by yourself with no other weapon than unarmed combat and a sass mouth. Player: So what's your point? GM: no point really, say you still have that other character you rolled up with you right? Player: yeah why? GM: Just checking. Player: Smooth, professional, what do you mean these words don't describe my character?!? I just rolled 6 successes on a called shot to the face with my heavy pistol! That Lone Star cop is dead and I have his car! I am the most professional shadowrunner there is! GM: yeah now you just have to dodge that Wasp attack helicopter that is getting ready to open fire once you cross into Redmond. Player: F**k that noise! I shoot at it while I am driving! GM: you mean you are going to shoot with your left hand, your off-hand, out of the window with a pistol, behind you while not looking at your target, from a moving vehicle, at an armored helo, moving at 80 mph through a crowded city street. Player: damn skippy! GM: You know the helo is about 300 meters away from you? Player: man I am willing to blow all my karma for this. so what's my target number GM: Just roll, and hope its in the low twenties at least shooter Player: yelling "I'm Tony Montana! Here come the pain!" GM: (Counting the words) That's two Free Actions btw, and do you mind playing archetypes from the book? (An insult in our group, sort of like saying to a biker that he needs training wheels in order to ride.) Player: I'm dead huh? GM: No dead would imply that there is something left of the body to identify, for you I think obliterated is a more apt term for this situation. |

The following always means trouble, beacause showing off and Shadowrunning just doesn't mix very well.
"Hey guys, watch this..." |

Sigh. I'm still trying to forget that incident and how much it cost out of pocket to repair. :dead: That does remind me of a line though; "What do you mean an assault cannon isn't stealthy?" |

Which makes a good bridge to a line heard on Friday:
I'm stealthing my way out. You're standing against a bare wall, and all the security cameras in the place are pointed in your direction. (At which point the GM physically enacted a "starfish inching along against a wall" sequence ...) |
