Hello, fellow dumpshockers.

When I first find out Dumpshock (4 years ago) and mentioned i'm from Poland someone from SoE team had offer for me: "Do you had any ideas for Poland section in SoE?". For me, Seattle was SR-Mecca, i never thought too much how my country will looked in 6th world.

But I always liked idea of adept sub-archetype that makes my polish friends - Witcher and it was made for 2nd edition.

Well, as you know, Witcher didn't make to appear in SoE. But, right know maybe some of you guys played in Witcher PC game and maybe you have idea how it should look in 4th edition.
Here's is gorki's proposition:

Notes (by Gorki):
Not enough points. it's hard to make such character. But with 400 points limit character is pretty balanced. Any comments?

So is it make sense to implement critter hunter as archetype in Shadowrun?
Any comments?

And any ideas for background of such character? (does witchers organize as in the game and book by Sapkowski? From where they have knowledge about potions (preawakened?)? Or just specialised adept?)

Any comments?
