Seattle 2073: SUBMERGED INITIATE CYBORG TROLLS
With a new quality! MYSTIC TECHNOMANCER Cost: 1 BP Magic points can be split between Magic, Resonance, and Power Points. Any increase in one type of point automatically increases the other two. With a new spell! INCREASE ESSENCE Type: P Duration: P Drain: NONE If cast while at essence 6, this spell increases the essence of the target beyond the natural maximum, to no more than a maximum of 25,000. Any drops in essence above 6 do not cause a drop in magic points or resonance. Any essence gained is thus drained from a secondary target, in much the same way Shang Tsung sucks the souls out of his victims after beating the dirt out of them. The secondary target must be a player-controlled Shadowrunning teammate. |

This has to be one of the most useless postings i have ever seen on this board . . and judging by my post-count, that's a LOT of postings . .
But eh, whatever floats your boat. wonder if there's spirits with essence drain as a spirit power which could then be endowed to a character? |

Yeah, obviously I'm not serious about this at all. But I was hoping that others would chime in with similarly ridonkulous ideas.

No,You don't understand you don't take Loffy for a connection,that costs 12 Points.You Invent a Backgroundstory in which He's your Daddy (and gave you Heckler& Koch as a Present for your 18th Birthday) Think ridiculous Big, Think Binky (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) F.e. Omega Ware Omega Ware gives back lost Essence Omega Reflexbooster 2 works just like other Reflexbooster,but gives Back 3 Essencepoints Cost is x1,25 with a Munchkin Dance Medicineman |

Backgrounds reflect your stats. Otherwise you may as well just create a background that says you're God and have all powers known and unknown to metahumanity at a rating of Infinity. |

There was his critical glitch with the negotiation roll with the Sanhedrin, then he critically glitched negotiation with the people in front of Pilot, things just weren't going well. |

Did he glitch, or was it what was intended all along?

Obviously a man of opposites.
After falling out of favor of the Sanhedrin and Roman council (or was it just the emperor being bribed? Can't remember), a couple critical successes and BAM! Avoided death (after dying) and made loyal followers out of billions of people! That takes some skill.. and several lucky rolls. |
