For the life of me, I thought the negative quality was Adrenaline Junkie...
In any case, our local crew is starting a new campaign set in Denver & I'm planning to play a runner loosely based on Xander Cage (of XX fame). He'll possibly be a Phys Ad, or maybe Type O w/ a whole slew of bioware. Must-have skills as I see them are the Athletics group, Diving, Parachuting, Dodge & Pilot: (various vehicles) Looking at the gear, I'm seeing plenty of tech for skiing, skydiving, & Scuba. I'd really like him to have a snowboard - any ideas at a cost range? Thoughts? Joe |

Decent rating in skills like athletics, parachute and the like and a high edge as well as the typical "athletics" bioware of a suprathyroid, synthacardium and muscle toners, maybe a synaptic booster too.

He does not need a high rating in any of them, instead have high Edge. Also remember to give him high Perception too. |

Survival skill, perhaps? Since he spends a lot of time out in XTREME places doing XTREME things? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Maybe even the Outdoorsman skill group.
If I were to make this character, I'd do it without Magic and probably have a lot more fun with it, but that's me. |

Thanks for the advice & suggestions - hadn't considered the emphasis on Edge, nor the addition of Survival/Outdoorsman.
And thoughts on the snowboard issue? |

Randomly off the top of my head: Snowboard R1-3. Cost 50Y, 150Y, 500Y. R1 is a learner's board, net hits capped at 2, cracks/breaks on a glitch. R2 is a standard board, net hits capped at 4. R3 is a trick board, +1 die (superior tool), no net hit cap. |

Use the Skis in Arsenal's Polar gear section just rename them as snowboard.
