Alternate characters, The under used archetypes Options

[Johnny B. Good]

4 hits on an assensing test identifies a TM.

Edit: As will a signal being broadcast from his head without the presence of any cyberware.

[WyldKnight]

Ya but they can suppress the signal and I thought it was 5 hits? I don't have my books so I can't check.

[crash2029]

I have some nonstandard builds. Right now I am playing a Jack of all trades character. Basically he has a ton of skills, high edge, and high intuition and logic. From what I can tell an non-specialized character is unusual. The previous character I played was a vampire former used car salesman. He was fun. For a while I ran an adept hacker.

When it comes to characters I have made but not gotten the chance to play I have a few interesting ones. In response to a thread awhile back I made a D&D style paladin. He was an adept Templar who got kicked out of the order for alcoholism. He became a runner because he had nowhere else to turn. I meant him to be a semi-tragic figure who has to fight with his honor and conscience on a daily basis in the shadows.

Another character I created was a Robocop inspired samurai. He was a motorcycle cop who got into a bad accident. He was put into a program to see if large-scale cyber replacement would improve efficiency. It did, sort of. The program was scrapped quickly. He was fired after he gave information to runners to help break up a human trafficking ring. Of course he now owes Lonestar for the cost of his enhancements. I gave him bulk modded obvious arms, legs, and torso replacements. I also game him a tricked out helmet. I skipped of reaction enhancements because Robocop was really slow in the movie.

I made a Sasquatch adept PI some time ago. His mate was stolen from him in the tribal lands where he lived. He moved to the city in order to find her. To make money he worked as a PI. I admit he was an odd character.

Once I created an AI face who evolved from a virtual person program. The virtual person was a personal assistant anthroform drone.

There was a brain-fried ork sammy called Johnny X-Treme that I created. He was based on a character on X-Play. He was fond of smashing beer bottles on his crotch and yelling TO THE MAX!!! at random intervals. I think he would have been fun to play. Granted a sammy isn't exactly unusual but a brain-fried nut with an obsession with extreme-ness is slightly different.

[Makki]

i start running a sasquatch adept with gearhead and pilot car 6(8 ). he also has artisan(beatboxing) and enthralling performance. and yeah, he's very good with hunting rifles

[WyldKnight]

I remember not long ago our group had a Sasquatch as a fixer who had a program that spoke for him when he signed. His voice happened to be that of Danny Devito, it was an odd game.

I've made a paladin like character before but I actually kept him mundane and gave him good medical skills but a high willpower and banishing to take down spirits. I've been looking for that sheet and cannot find it. I never finished it, I had like 80 more Bp to spend.

[naga-nuyen]

How about a limited resource character? 400 BP build, no magician, adept but latent awakening okay. No sinner negative quality. Surge is okay. Any amount of BP can be put towards the 50 cap on resources but only price range of 300$ & 4R and less is available (and no carry over from generation to play allowed). Extended lifestyle in effect, only 7 points can be spent on the 5 categories. Only contacts of connectioin 2 or less can be taken.

Edit: I am building one now. I would add restricted gear and other qualities that would be against the concept.

Edit 2: Wow best Armor is leather jacket with PPP system upgrades vital protector and a helmet! Sweet...

[WyldKnight]

Sounds like it would be a high stat broad skill character eh?

I have yet to see a Beast master build which I was expecting after running wild.

[WyldKnight]

Whipped this up when I finally got the time, probably took 15 min. I didn't really think about it and this character would probably best be suited as an NPC or as a very magic heavy game where a spirit killer is a viable option.

Cliff Notes Backstory:

Exposed to Astral threats by an accidental dose of Tempo
Seeing what he could not even begin to fight searched for a teacher so he could defend himself and his flock
Moonlights to support the Orphanage by Exorcising spirits of all types.

Didn't use Astral sight because I didn't know if he would still count as mundane then. A good candidate for a character with Latent Awakening.

Logic?

[WyldKnight]

Oh whooops haha guess I missed that. I believe it was three but I don't have the sheet in front of me anymore. It would be easy enough to figure out the logic by how many knowledge points I spent since I only used the free points and the intuition is 3. I'm looking now so I can edit it in.

[WyldKnight]

Fixed and under the Attack of Will rules it says you use Banishing + Willpower or just Willpower.

[naga-nuyen]

So this is the limited resource PC, and i had allot of fun writing him up....so much in fact that with some changes in our running party (yeah critters can be real nasty) i think i will drop the Naga, let another player run the magician support (he says he has a burning good concept) and develop this guy some more and see if he meets the GM approval.

Regeneration (Paranormal)
Type: P • Action: Auto • Range: Self • Duration: Always
A critter with Regeneration rapidly heals any Physical damage. At the end of a Combat Turn, make a Magic + Body Test. Each hit regenerates 1 point of Physical or Stun damage.
If a critter has already taken enough damage to enter into Physical damage overflow, the critter is not considered dead until it has had a chance to make a Regeneration Test. After a critter has made a Regeneration Test, if the damage overflow is still greater than the critter’s Body attribute, then the critter is dead.
Certain types of damage cannot be regenerated from this power. Damage to the brain or spinal cord (for example, from a called shot to the head) cannot be healed this way. Likewise, magical damage from weapon foci, combat spells, critter/adept powers, or other magic may not be healed through Regeneration. If the critter has an Allergy, the critter cannot regenerate damage until the allergen’s presence is removed.

Vulnerability (Silver)
Creatures with a vulnerability to a specific substance take additional damage from weapons made of the substance. Increase the Damage Value of all attacks with the substance by 2. Weapons made of a substance to which the creature is vulnerable bypass any Immunity that it may have. Damage taken from a substance to which the creature is vulnerable cannot be healed by Regeneration or magic.

Allergy (Silver):
Contact with the allergen results in actual physical damage. The character receives 1 box of damage for every minute he touches or remains exposed to the allergen. Apply a –4 dice pool modifier to all tests made while a character experiences the symptoms. Increase the Damage
Value of weapons made from this substance by +4 when used against the character.

[Makki]

you may not have technical skill groups while uneducated. further your first two knowledge skills cost double

[naga-nuyen]

Thanks you for the heads up, easy to miss things when your building somthing quick. Made changes, and have a good day

[Tymeaus Jalynsfe...]

8 submersions is basically 8 mage initiations (So max magic / resonance of 14. That's on par with Dragons.)

Also: Sarcasm.

Also: Ohgod matrix Dragons.

Don't need 8 Submersions to get it though, just 4 Submersions and an additional 4 Echoes purchased Seperately, along with a 4 Resonance mimimum... Echo limit is equal to Sbbmersions + Resonance, so with that setup, you could get all 8 Echoes for the Cost of 4 Submersions (13+16+19+22 = 70 Karma (Network/Ordeals Makes it cheaper)), plus an additional 60 Karma for the extra 4 Echoes (15 Karma each)... Yeah, still not cheap though...

[Tymeaus Jalynsfe...]

4 hits on an assensing test identifies a TM.

Edit: As will a signal being broadcast from his head without the presence of any cyberware.

5 Actually...

[Megu]

Fixed and under the Attack of Will rules it says you use Banishing + Willpower or just Willpower.

Yeah, but I figured the build would be a lot less crazy and more viable if I actually had points in Banishing, and it seems reasonable enough to present to a GM, RAW be damned, you know?

[Neraph]

Yeah, but I figured the build would be a lot less crazy and more viable if I actually had points in Banishing, and it seems reasonable enough to present to a GM, RAW be damned, you know?

How do you intend to have Banishing as a Mundane?

Y'know, if I was your GM, I wouldn't allow you to take Incompetent (cyber combat) if you had no intention of ever getting any cyber weapons. Or your character might wake up one day with all his fingernails replaced with hand razors....

[Sephiroth]

How do you intend to have Banishing as a Mundane?

Yeah, but I figured the build would be a lot less crazy and more viable if I actually had points in Banishing, and it seems reasonable enough to present to a GM, RAW be damned, you know?

That way, methinks.

[Megu]

That way, methinks.

Pretty much. Seems like a minor deviation, as long as I'm only using it for attacks of will...

[AKWeaponsSpecial...]

Y'know, if I was your GM, I wouldn't allow you to take Incompetent (cyber combat) if you had no intention of ever getting any cyber weapons. Or your character might wake up one day with all his fingernails replaced with hand razors....

"Cybercombat" is combat in the Matrix; most 'ware uses either Unarmed (shock hands) or Blades (spurs, hand blades, hand razors)

[Erik Baird]

Yeah, you're right. I got it mixed up with Unarmed (cyber implant weapon). Still, I wouldn't allow the guy to take a flaw that will likely never affect him in game. As a shapeshifter with no computer skills, I doubt he would ever be the go-to guy for hacking.

[Mooncrow]

Yeah, you're right. I got it mixed up with Unarmed (cyber implant weapon). Still, I wouldn't allow the guy to take a flaw that will likely never affect him in game. As a shapeshifter with no computer skills, I doubt he would ever be the go-to guy for hacking.

That's why there are limits on how many negative qualities you can take. I would raise my eyebrows more at a hacker that took it, personally.
