Okay, my character is fixed.

Out of curiosity, how are we going to do rolls? Will you be rolling them, or will you be trusting us to roll them, or will we be using an intermediary (e.g. Invisible Castle)?

If FFBA is on, are we using the entire armour section from that book including mods, or can I just by BBB legal armour and tack on FFBA?

Do you have enough players who are "company men" to fill your quota or do you still need one? If so let me know and I'll pm you with a few possibilities.

I trust you guys, but I want the format to be like this:

Sample Test

6 (skill) + 6 (attribute) + 2 (modifier) = 14

Rolling 14 die:

1 6 1 6 5 6 3 2 3 4 3 2 4 1 = 6 Hits

We'll be using the cinematic optional rule ( 4's count as a hit)

And FFBA and drone mods are the only thing from Arsenal I'm allowing.

As for 'company men,' I don't have any backgrounds yet, so once I get those (just a paragraph or two), I'll decide. Like I said, a lot of the plot will be based off backgrounds and the characters themselves.

quentra approved my mentor spirit idea so, at the very least, I should have a draft of my character sheet posted by this evening. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Thanks for being patient, everyone.

First, you have 30 BP spare in your special attributes ! Magician automatically gives you 1 Magic, so bringing it up to 5 costs 40 Bp, and as a human you start with Edge 2, for a total of 50 BP for your special attributes, not 80. Use these points to bring up your agility to 4 (so you could have significant dicepool in infiltration and pistols, and agility is probably one of the most useful attributes in this game)

You might want to cut the 30BP in stealth, because it will only give you a dicepool of 5 (7 if you make my tweak, which isn't significat). Take 16 bp and build up Infiltration up to 4, maybe with a spec if you feel like it. With the remaining points, either put it in sorcery or influence group.

You could also take the 10 dice from your influence group and take the Infiltration spell. You'd save 7 BP, so you'd only have to find 3 more BP to gain 1 more agility point. You would use the remaining BP to augment your firearms skill, at least up to 2 with an semi-automatics spec.

My 2 cents !

EDIT : I just counted your BPs, and your total is really 420 BP. So you only have 10 BP left from your special attributes mistake. My other suggestions still stand though, so do whatever you feel like !

Thanks for the input, Professeur! I used Autarkis' excel spreadsheet for the mathy portions but it looks like some of it is a little off. I'll take a look again when I get home from work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I used Daegann's character generator myself. It works pretty well, except for a few minor details. It does the math alright though, and it includes Street Magic spells (but not augmentation cyberware though, but that wouldn't interest you). Don't remember where I found it, maybe you could search for it on the board or on some site like Knasser's.

If I were you, I'd probably recount every singles nuyen and BP on that sheet, you don't know what else slipt through your chargen sheet. And quentra wanted to price-tag the stuff you bought so you'll have to count it anyways (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) . At that point, the best option would probably be to tweak it without any other program once you're sure of your BP total.

Yeah, I think I'll be overhauling it with another sheet or program .. oy!

Here's my revised character sheet. The background is mostly in my head right now. Will work on it later tonight, because it will soon be Hockey Playoff time here in Montreal ! I've written up the contacts though, so you can have a basic idea of the character. Any comments ?

Basic concept is corp hitman. Mostly done through advanced training but didn't finish the full program. Please give whatever advice on changes and omissions I made. I have never made a sammy type before.

Note: I have 10 BP left currently.

It's a bit hideous... sorry...

Eep! TR, mind spoilering your sheet? Its a bit long.

Anyway, I have suggestions for most of you, and sheet inconsistencies, so I spoilered all the sheets I have so far below, with individual suggestions in each. Tell me if I got your sheets wrong, and I'll fix em.

Spoilered my post. Couldn't figure out the right tag at first... I guess it's pretty obvious what the tag is though.

Thanks, quentra! I didn't notice those BP inconsistencies, but it looks like I didn't fully transfer over the skill list from my spreadsheet, either. That's what I get for trying to do too many things at once. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Heh. Actually, 396, so you can bump another skill a point or specialize twice. I modded your charsheet to reflect the changes.

Right, put suggestions down for everyone, hopefully modded charsheets correctly. If they're wrong, tell me. All I need now are some backgrounds (already have a few), and Cthuludreams to get his stuff together, and we'll be ready to rawk and roll, people.

EDIT: Put two news stories up, more upcoming.

Quentra, I noticed just a few things with the numbers on the sheet you pasted. Your numbers give a total of 407BP. Here are the two mistakes you made while counting my BPs. It doesn't change anything, but I thought it would be better to dissipate any misunderstanding if anybody else notices it.

First, you listed my negative qualities balancing at -30BP, but you didn't count the Adept quality in there, because you already listed the BP cost at the beginning. I have -35BP worth of negative qualities, plus the 5BP adept positive quality, which balances at -30BP, and not -25BP.

Second, you listed my skills as worth 108BP, when they really are worth 106BP. 30BP skill group, 64BP skills, 12BP specializations.

Just thought I'd warn you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

EDIT: where are the stories you speak of ? RE-EDIT : no matter ! found'em !
