'Critter Spook'-ish quality where the character would be targeted first in combat by all opponents - Metas take the bulge to mean he's poorly concealing firearms, critters go for the distended weak spot, and technological sensors read it as the warmest part of the body and thereby a better shot than center mass GOD... as i read this i couldn't stop laughing. I had the mental image of an intense firefight (drones/spirits) and one guy in an extremely tight chameleonsuit with his HUGE junk jumps in. And all drones and spirits just turn to him... look at each other, turn to him again and begin shooting lighting, fireballs, gel-rounds into his groin... not even stopping when he is down. |

That is exactly the visual I want to create. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Doc Chase has it right, here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Though, characters like this one do provide an important service... Really bad porn footage for you to edit your teammates' faces onto if the need arises. ;P |

He would need custom clothing, welcome to paying extra, oh and it needs to be designed just for you, since there is no market for it. |

Anyway, just go read the 'huge breasts' thread from last month. Everything here was basically covered there. Ugh.
I swear, pattyhulez, you're making all the threads just to mess with people. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Pattyhulez go ahead and add deformity (enormous penis) to the list of things you are no longer allowed to do in shadowrun. You deserve to be the one who adds it.
Though really there hast to be a whole slew of surge powers that could be taken in penile form, they are just all obscene. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/embarrassed.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/facelick.gif) Really the list could go on and on and on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/silly.gif) |

QUOTE Prehensile geneTails? That is the obvious one. Shall I list them? Corrosive "Spit" Glamour, nasty vibe, critter spook, and astral hazing, all emanating from your "mojo". Elongated "Limbs" Frog "Tongue" All the tails adaptions including Thagomizer Marsupial Pouch, really all metahumans already have one of these and females get an extra one. Natural Venom Shiva "Arms" Adiposis can be replaced by anything that slows the character and encumbers them in the same way. Cyclopean Eye or Third Eye. Stubby "Arms" |

Just this topic? Damn. And here I thought multi-tits and hemipenese (both one above the other, and both side by side) was normal. Hell, I've encountered a 4x herm. Chew on that. Ouch... WOW... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif) |

QUOTE [ Spoiler ] (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eek.gif) ... ... ... Chocolate milk? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/facelick.gif) Delicious! Seriously though a lot of these odd surge physical characteristics that are likely to give no in game social modifiers should probably be free because they have no game effect or at least the effect balences out. Some people like it some people hate it. Or the odd appearance cost 5 bp because they are taking the place of some serious biosculpting, and possibly penile implant or even a sex change. |

One could certainly argue that society's lightened up quite a bit about this sort of thing over the next 60+ years of Shadowrun universe, with pointed ears, Ork and Troll skin, etc, etc...but it seems to me like outright weird shit is still going to be outright weird shit, to more people than not. The capacity that human beings in everyday society show for being obviously and visibly uncomfortable around, for instance, a burn victim who is otherwise a totally normal human being...well...let's just say I don't have a whole lot of faith in mainstream culture's ability to suddenly overlook double penis elephantitis, quad-breast girl, or a guy with a dong growing out of his forehead like a unicorn. |

1) Is it actually a flaw? SURGE flaws are generally obvious and difficult to hide, and often offer other disadvantages. I dont know, you can pretty easily hide all of the hair ones, just cut your hair to short and fear a hat or cut it away completdly. Eye color one is easily hided with contact lenses. And so on... editet to fix a typo. |
