OK, I know this is a bit of a detour from Shadowrun... however, if you need to visualize a person doing some of those 12-dice athletics tests (hehe) that physical adepts can do, you might want to watch this.

Have to admit that is pretty impressive. I'd be scared sh*tless to even try training towards that. Hell I get queasy about jumping from a 3 or 4 foot high wall.
Though... now imagine a Troll, doing all that stuff in that film clip. |

Yeah, that's what you get when you have Night One ghoul with exceptional quickness, maxed quickness, some bioware, hydraulic jacks, Apditude: athletics and SURGE satyr legs.
Max. vertical jump: 28 meters Max. horizontal jump: 9 meters # of dice for jumping(assuming Atletics 6): 14 Average running speed/combat turn: 115 meters = 138 km/h :silly: 8) :eek: :D |

But that character is not awakened. Even if he were, he'd be a burn-out. |

Well, don't put too much cyber/bio in, and you can still cram in enough Boost to double your RML, which is still higher than your RAM.

Attribute Boost would be useless, you'd have to roll 2-3 dice against TN 7, so there's a pretty good chance you won't get any successes. Maybe Improved Athletics for some extra dice. That would bring his average running speed to around 135 meters/CT = 162 km/h. Whee!!! That means he could outrun most normal sedans and somesuch. :D |

Can we do it without making him a ghoul? What does that get us anyway?

Initiate a couple times, and find a Delta clinic, and you can get enough accelleration that your character should die when he starts running.
Night One adept, with the Satyr Legs SURGE edge, Bonus Attribute & Exceptional Attribute (Quickness), Improved Atheletics 6, Improved Quickness 6 (geased), Move-by-wire 4, Hydraulic jacks 5, Cyberfeet w/ cyberskates, Muscle Toner 4, and a Force 6 Centering Focus. 6 in Athletics and Centering. 6 base Int and Quickness. He rolls 17 Athletics dice vs. TN 2 for running, for an average of 14.1666... successes. He centers for success vs. TN 2, rolling 12 dice for an average of 10 successes, adding 5 successes to his Athletics check. So, on an average roll, he has about 19 successes. He has a quickness of 19(23), and a running multiplier of x7. So, when he runs, he moves 294m/combat turn (or 98m/s). He has an Initiative of 5d6+20 (average 37.5), so he accelerrated to that speed in the space of 3/4 of a second. v=u+at, so starting from a standtill, this mean that his acceleration is 130.666...m/s, or about 13 g's. I'm not entirely sure, but I'm pretty sure than anything above 10g's is nearly instantly fatal to humans. |

I dunno, maybe what they do for fun has nothing at all to do with being an Adept, and having 12 Athletics dice. What do you think Olympic athletes do "for fun?"

Not that I know of, but the spirit power Movement will. Actaully, Horse shaman can take movement as a metamagic, I believe.
Err....... *Shoots zombie thread* |

Too bad beating a dead horse shaman doesn't always stop it.
If you can sneak "Increased Running" past your GM with the same mechanics as increased quickness, you can get some really wrong results. Albino gnome horse shaman with quickness 2, increased quickness and increased running (with sustaining foci). After two easy spellcastings, it's not unreasonable to have a speed of 294m/ct. |

So, theoretically, this guy can move so fast he could go UP the side of the Renraku Arc, and pole-vault off the top of it, landing on the space needle?
