[Lobo0705]

Switch summons "Mother" the force 3 spirit of air.
Summoning 6 + Magic 6
5 hits (reduced to 3 due to limit)

Spirit Resists
Force 3 - so 3 dice
2 hits - so he has to resist 4 boxes of Stun.

Switch resists Drain
2 hits
So he takes 2 boxes of Stun Damage

Switch attempts to pass Insomnia test to heal Stun Damage
Intuition 5 + Willpower 6
and gets 4 hits - success (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Now he rolls to heal the Stun Damage
Body 3 + Willpower 6
and gets 4 hits so after 1 hour of rest, he will have healed 4 boxes of Stun (and he only had to heal 2.)

ahh, any dice rolls you can just put in a spoiler at the bottom of your post. It will make it easier than going back and forth.

Got room for one more? i'd like a mage hacker type...

The guy that was suppose to play the Street Samurai type never responded back, so that does leave a spot open.

[NeVeRLiFt]

Slide I have not got to play Shadowrun since 3rd edition really and have not played 4th edition except for a couple months now in real life... so with that said I was still with the mind set Lone Star was acting Law Enforcement.
After checking around I see error I've made!
This "Play by Post" is my first go at 5th Edition.

So I'm going to go ahead and change my contact from Lone Star to Knight Errant and pretend this never happen if you're okay with that?

Just let me know please.

[Slide]

No absolutely not, I call total Bull shit on that... ehh I'll let it slide (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I forget what year, but the star lost its contract with the metroplex, aparently over some nanoware fiasco. not too sure about the details.

[NeVeRLiFt]

At first I was under the impression they were both acting as Law Enforcement, but Knight Errant more as security or smaller, but after reading the history in the sourcebook I see that Lone Star is out.
I also have that one contact Rachel who is a working girl... so she may also have info or know something about what is happening or what has went down seeing as she would be around and know others that are in the Cat house.

[IridiosDZ]

Neverlift, it might not be a bad idea to keep your contact as LS. Zap has a KE contact. That would get us lines into the top 2 security companies in the 'plex.

Okay I can do that.

I'll keep the contact as Lone Star.

If nobody objects im gonna post to IC and start in....

ill usually post later in the day for future reference... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotate.gif)

[Lobo0705]

Ok - so take the following post as constructive criticism, it is not meant in any way to put you off. I for one would be totally ok for you to play (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That being said, it is totally Slide's game, so you need to make sure he at the very least is ok with it, and there are a bunch of issues with the character as far as character creation. Remember we are using 5e rules.

1) You can only have 25 points of positive qualities, and 25 points of negative qualities, you have over 40 of each.
2) Resources E is 6,000 nuyen, not 100,000
3) Your skills can only be at most 6 before adding improved ability, so with Improved Ability 1 and Aptitude, your software could at most be 8, not 9.
4) You have 24 points of attributes (but are only allowed 20)
5) You have 29 points of skills (but are only allowd 28)
6) You only have 22 points of knowledge/language skills, but are allowed 24 (Logic (without Cerebral Booster) + Int x2)
7) You have two stats, Logic and Reaction, at racial maximum, but only are allowed one.
8 ) You start with a Magic of 2 and a Maximum Magic of 6, reduced to a Magic of 1 and a Maximum Magic of 5 because you have the Cerebral Booster. You have 8 special attribute points. You used 2 to raise your Edge to 3, and 4 more to raise your Magic to 5, which means you have one more special attribute point, which you would have to use to raise your Edge to 4.
9) You have 17 points of contacts but are only allowed 15.

Some of those might have been changed through the spending of karma, but as I pointed out, you have too many positive and negative qualities, so you have to reduce those, and it is hard to tell what you raised with karma since you didn't put it in there.

The biggest issue of course is the money, since with 6,000 nuyen you can't afford either the 'ware or the deck.

[shonen_mask]

You could have posted the errors before I posted to OC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Im' using the prime runner numbers. you cant get a deck with 6000 *shrughs*. thats a max of 70 karma after you buy negative qualaties....

The boosted limit is the new limit... 2 points higher at 9

There is no printed limit to skill at start once they are raised past the starting limit that was in SR4...

If mislabeled my priorties Meta type is B and Attributes is A

I have 3 points in improved abilities making my new total 31

Reaction is now 5 and agility is now 3..

[Lobo0705]

I didn't post anything since I was waiting for Slide to post (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Again, up to Slide to approve the character, but:

1) Nobody else used Prime Runner char gen - not sure if he is going to allow you to do that since we couldn't, and Slide stated "As I said this is SR5, and will have standard rules for character creation."

2) Not sure what you mean by "the boosted limit is the new limit" - are you talking about Software? If so, the maximum rating for all skills in char gen is 6. Your Aptitude (which would have to be approved by Slide just like your Exceptional Attribute) would allow you to put 7 skill points into it. In SR5, the new limit to skills is 12, but the most you can START with is 6 (7 with Aptitude). (page 88) That is the most skill points you could put in, and then Improved Ability at level 1 gives you 1 more, giving you a total of 8, not 9.

3) You have 32 total skill points listed - I already had subtracted out the 3 points of Improved Ability to get the total of 29 (and since you can only have 28, you are still one point over).

I will let the GM decided on whats standard... but im going by the book on that nevertheless

i found the info on page 88. i was actually looking for that far a while....
my character within the post must have different values i count the correct value.....
ill change em soon just the same with the new limits..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif)

[NeVeRLiFt]

We already have a rigger and hacker.
You might want to play something else, we are gonna end up a weak team now when it comes to a physical match up and fire fight...

It's not my call but your character just does not mesh well with the group as it's already laid out.

We need someone who can bring the pain and that is not you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

edit:
mean no disrespect, just calling it like I see it

[Slide]

I've been out of the loop for a few days, but yeah, defiantly not using prime runner numbers. You need to go ahead and make the adjustments to your character, I realize you can't buy a deck with 6k. You might have to rethink your character concept. Also all prices for gear are as listed in the book. I haven't play tested SR5 enough yet to say they shouldn't be.

[Slide]

I'm also very confused by your dice roll system. invisible castle is usually the standard. Also if you guys aren't already please list the game as "code of silence" on your rolls. It makes it easier for me to keep track of everything.

[NeVeRLiFt]

We already have Rigger and Hacker... so if possible make something else that would mesh well with the group and compliment what we already have.


Rough ideal of what the group consist of right now.
Deckard = Face/ well rounded skills jack of all master of none
Zap = Hacker/ can fight with pistol/unarmed maybe even use a drone
Switch = Mage/ can use firearms if needed
Killer B = Rigger/ gunnery/drones

Overall everyone has some solid skills.

OMG I see (or saw as I'm now blind) what you mean. BTW, Sarge is a girl. Erin is her name.

I kind of imagine her as Michelle Rodriquez in a police uniform

[shonen_mask]

Im not getting any verification emails from invisible castle which explains why I cant get on.

I thought up the system to make it easier to see that i won't forge any rolls....
