I believe it's not the number of ninjas together, but rather their clothing that defines their power.

Consider teams in anime movies, 3 ninjas all wearing different outfits with really weird looking designs like checkerboard or infinite ribbons can take 100 ninjas all wearing standard black suits.

The truth is obvious, a ninja's power comes from his clothes. Ninjas try to make people think it comes from the inside. That's obviously silly because everybody has an inside, and therefore should have ninja powers, but they don't. However only ninjas have ninja outfits, which give them their powers. The outfit, in turn, gains it's power from it's appearance and when multiple ninjas wear similar costumes it drains the power supply.

This is why you can often see 50 ninjas in identical costumes who suck with a leader who has a unique outfit and is worth more than the 50 ninjas combined. In his sleep. It's also why ninjas with really cool outfits seem to be automatically better than ninjas in lame outfits.

Nope. The only animals are attack turkeys that live in forests around pagodas and arguably these living slime-things that stick to the ceiling and then drop down and eat through the floor.

Not on the open seas... Nothing can beat a band of pirates out on the open seas... Except a larger band of pirates out on the open seas..

Now, a roving band of ninja-pirates.. *shudders*

Actually, I was thinking of a Free Good Merge Force 10 Bug Spirit invested in an amazing human (straight 9's) HMHVV-I convert with the power of Hidden Life, Sorcery and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Physical Stats = 9 + Force + Spirit Energy + Essence

As the Bugs essence is 10, would the maximum essence be 20??? How good...

Assuming Spirit Energy 5 you'd be looking at Physical Stats in the 40+ range!

Not to mention regeneration, mist form, etc. and the virtual immunity to destruction Hidden Life confers!

I'm spraying my load just thinking about this guy.

I get to use my bug Venom power at 20S damage code!!! Mmmmm!

Reaction is probably around 27, which Bugs (being Critters) use for Melee!!!

Combat Pool is more than 30...

Plus he can wear armour up the wazoo and use a Vindicator one-handed probably!

1) Shadowrunners are mammals.

2) Shadowrunners fight ALL the time.

3) The purpose of a shadowrunner is to flip out and kill people.



As for what my true ultimate power is....hmmmm.....A ha! I'm Wiz Kids! I make all rules!

I agree on the ninja clothing. Just look at Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow versus those lame Ninja Vipers.

And I changed my mind on my true ultimate power.

Instead of being Wiz Kids, I'm the PREDATOR OMEGA! I defy Shadowrun itself!

That would definitely do it.
REM's not kidding about the shapeshifting ninja. The GM for that game houseruled that Shapeshifters bring clothing along with them just to keep from excessive nudity in the course of the game :)

I dunno -- half the fun of watching shapeshifters is watching the players realize the "oh frag, I'm nekkid" moment.

Nekkid meaning no weapons anywhere, of course. :grinbig:
