Street Samurai Idea I've had for a while that I really want to play, did a few changes, I had a few questions.
Do Audio and Vision Enhancements add a cumulative availability modifier? Example: Lowlight +4, Thermographic +6 Flarecomp +2, so the Availability would be +12 then?
Can Commlink be Optimized for Agent? I'm assuming yes this is what Unwired says
Optimization
This modification optimizes the device’s processor and components to enhance one particular program, applying a +1 dice
pool modifier for all tests using that software. Each device may only be optimized once.
Looking for feedback, comments, and math check.
Thanks

Agility represents fine motor control—manual dexterity, flexibility, balance, and coordination...Fat People can have this.


Adiposis Negative Surge Quality gives -3 penalty to all physical activities so it's like having a -3 to agility (Penalty can be brought down to -1 with Slimworm and Dietware)

Voluntary-replacement Cyberarms. Now that takes a set of steel ones to just walk into the clinic and go, "Chop 'em off and put metal in their place."

I have played something like that, in an Arcanis game. Kinda a cross between the most hedonistic ancient Roman senator you can think of, and a sumo wrestler.

Enormously massively obese psionic fist. Minor royal title, so he could get away with a lot of social gaffes like belching loudly in high society events. Had a personal mission to eat at least one of every possible culinary dish in the world.

I once showed up at a LARP for the game in a toga stuffed with pillows, cradling a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, making totally pointless royal announcements whilst waving a chicken leg.

Of course, me being me, he was also a majorly min-maxed martial artist. You do not want to experience his flying butt scissors.

While not fat, Baron Von Vanderpluffe of the Black Forest Troll Kingdom was quite... Upset when he found out that he was already in the California Free State and had to go through an extensive full body cavity search despite his diplomatic status of Minister of Media Relations, attempting to negotiate with Horizon Execs about a documentary on the history of his country.

See, the IRAiE had been using his ID as a cover for Orks staying temporarily in California for awhile now, and... Yeah, one of my PCs was the "Current" Baron. And playing him up like a pansy fop of a nobleman.

On the bright side, I got to use my German Accent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Or a reaction of 5. This is a bad ass streetsam and just calling him fat. Nothingh iin his stats says fatso. Maybe he can have a agility of 5 for targeting the pie hole with food.

He has blubber and adiposis, both SURGE qualities, so even with some 'ware to counter some of the effects of the latter, he will still look fat. And the whole point of the character is to have a quick, nimble character who doesn't look like it. I like this version of the character much better than the first one, which had some rules issues.

Hm hm... so this guy is basically Rufus, but with guns and swords? *g*

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY-f-wATi6A&NR=1

But i have to agree: Fat guys CAN have a pretty high agility and reaction times, but there is a limit (for normal humans without any high-tech or magical enhancements i guess). 5 Natural is too much for my taste, 4 i could stomach *g*. Oh, and for such a high level of training he doesn't have the matching strength.

All that weight just slows you down, no matter how trained you are. But hey, he isn't THAT fat, i guess. 190 KG for 1.90 height is excessive, yes. But not enough to get into "own zip-code territory".

Nothing says you can't be obese and have a Quickness/Reaction of 5. When I weighed over 250 lbs and looked like a marshmallow, I was routinely outquicking black belts. And sumo wrestlers are known for their speed. Being big does not mean you have to be slow.

I'm over 300 lbs and I'm pretty damn fast in terms of reaction and motor control. I can also run fairly quick sprints comparatively speaking. I can probably out-type any of you, I can break down a chicken or tenderloin very fast, I have more problems with stopping myself from catching stuff that's dropping (like heavy cans or knives) than not catching them, and I'm a pretty good ping-pong/foosball/air hockey/video game player. All of those point to good reflex and agility scores.

You'll also see that a lot in guys that do manual labor but don't do specific training for muscle sculpting or watch their diets. Construction workers have to be able to move FAST when something falls or goes wrong. Bikers have to react quickly both on their bikes and in a bar fight. I've personally known a couple of skinheads that are the same size I am but who are very fast and very strong, even though they look as much like couch potatoes as I do.
