[OOC] Panzerknacker Options

[SquirrelDude]

I'd forgotten how long it takes to create a shadowrun character, and how you always find yourself going "Can't I just have 4 more attribute points, and just 6 more skill points"

On that, question for the GM: Can I take the Vendetta negative trait if my Vendetta is against the wrestling faction/shadowrunner team Freebirds 3k?

Also @Gilga: I took the advice to a mentor spirit to heart. I didn't go with raven, I think I'm going to go with Cat for this character

Is there an easy way to export a chummer file into bbcode for posting on a forum.

[Jack_Spade]

Sure, don't know anything about them, but I'm confident that I can learn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Gilga]

@SD looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

[Volker]

@Jack
Luck4ce mentioned that he might want to join the party. He has an Austrian character, though he's be a magician, too. He can't say for sure whether he can join the group. The longer it takes us to start the new run, the likelier it would get as there are some things to sort out. Just you guys know

[Jack_Spade]

I welcome any steady player.

At the moment I'm aiming for a start around the mid of July (hopefully my work life will have stabilized by then)

[Volker]

I am going to go back to Nepal between the middle of August and the beginnen of September. Don't know whether I'll be able to post in the meantime.

Also, I don't have the slightest cue what I'm supposed to do with 800,000 nuyeuros

[Gilga]

A better deck? - Though these are so overpriced that 800k might not be enough.
I'll need to remake Yael as I lost her chummer file, shouldn't take very long as I have the result.

@Jack when you have time, please post what we need to update the charsheet. For the new run. Also how far is it into the future is the next story?

[Volker]

Let's not rush this, anyway, there's a lot of character play and development that I wouldn't want to just skip

[Jack_Spade]

Indeed, you guys are doing great.

As for character sheets: No special restrictions. Just post them when I open the new OOC thread. It would help if you format them in Courier so that all characters align above each other. Makes parsing stuff easier.


Honestly, I have no idea how much downtime you'll get. That depends mightily on wether you actually leave Seattle or not.
In case you take the tickets that Schmitt organized, you'll have about a month of downtime, spending Christmas and New Year in Germany/Europe.

[Volker]

bnc will go back to Europe

[SquirrelDude]

Slob may ask at the desk to exchange his ticket for one going to Paris. He won't know the language, but he won't know the one in Germany either. I'd say he could go to Japan, but we all know how they treat Orcs.

[Volker]

But Germans know English... I'm not sure whether or not the Shadowrun Frenchies are any better than the real ones

[SquirrelDude]

@Jack, Like this?

30k Nuyen spent on Karma

[Gilga]

So 800k nuyens?

What about the Foci? - you gave us quite a bit of them. can you list them? (Perhaps she'll use one of them?)
Availability of new gear? (Yael would know nobody in Europe though).

I was thinking to go for magic 5-->6 (not sure how much time it takes, would that be okay?)
I take it regardless of the money/karma there is so much that she can do within a month. Should I use the training times of skills?

[Volker]

Ugh, shit...
I just spent about an hour looking for my current amount of nuyen and karma, but failed.
I hope that I can find the file on my external hard drive at home, because if not, I'll have diffictulties to keep my sheet in order.
I found an entry regarding the money I have, and I think, it might be up-to-date, as we didn't get payment for a long time (rather, we had 30,000 to use on gear, which I inserted into my char sheet).
My karma entry can't be up-to-date, as it says one, but I posted previously, that I only spend 4 of the 11 karma we received.

So, if you're fine with that, I'll...
- look for my notes and pray to GOD that I find the datas.
- if not, take my most current state, which is 21,690 bucks and 1 + 7 (see above) karma.

Also, I might want to borrow money (yeah, I know, that's demanding after we just received 800,000 but I'm only inches away from a Fairlight Excalibur!!
How much is the loot worth? Foci etc. Is it already included in the 800,000?

Huch much karma do we get?

[Gilga]

Perhaps Yael would be interested in the old deck, would pay more than its resale value.

About bnc, the last I remember you increased intuition 5-->6, so verify that your sheet is after that point (with 6 intuition).

[Jack_Spade]

I think I gave out some Karma every chapter. I'd have to check up, but I think it was about four times around 10 Karma.
The total story should have brought you up to around 50 Karma.

The following foci were to be found:

F4 Manipulation Sustaining Focus
F6 Manipulation Sustaining Focus
F6 Health Sustaining Focus
F4 Detection Sustaining Focus

2x F6 Weapon Focus (Athame/Blood focus)

F6 Qi Focus: Mystic Armor 3
F6 Qi Focus: Improved Skill (Blades) 3
F4 Qi Focus: Astral Perception

[Volker]

Nope, after Intuition I purchased Quick Reader for fluff reasons. Intuition's already on the sheet, Quick Reader not. That's why I believe that I just missed to fill in the last karma gain, which was 11 Karma, 4 of which I used for Quick Reader.

Oh, noice. We can definitely talk about that.

I think I gave out some Karma every chapter. I'd have to check up, but I think it was about four times around 10 Karma.
The total story should have brought you up to around 50 Karma.

The following foci were to be found:

F4 Manipulation Sustaining Focus
F6 Manipulation Sustaining Focus
F6 Health Sustaining Focus
F4 Detection Sustaining Focus

2x F6 Weapon Focus (Athame/Blood focus)

F6 Qi Focus: Mystic Armor 3
F6 Qi Focus: Improved Skill (Blades) 3
F4 Qi Focus: Astral Perception

So, it's 800,000 plus what we can get for the foci, right? There's no more loot, but the foci are not included.
I would suggest, you can pick whatever foci you want and your share is decreased by the resale value, i.e. you get the foci for a third of what it would cost on the market. Does that sound good, gilga/Squirrel?

EDIT:
So, the market value of our loot is:

F4 Manipulation Sustaining Focus: 16,000
F6 Manipulation Sustaining Focus 24,000
F6 Health Sustaining Focus 24,000
F4 Detection Sustaining Focus 16,000

2x F6 Weapon Focus (Athame/Blood focus) - we should not sell those

F6 Qi Focus: Mystic Armor 3 18,000
F6 Qi Focus: Improved Skill (Blades) 3 18,000
F4 Qi Focus: Astral Perception 12,000

total: 128,000

@gilga: Which of these items do you want?
@Jack: For how much can Mike fence those?

[Gilga]

The health focus is an obvious attraction.
but Yael cannot even bind it until she gets magic 6, even when she does it would not leave room for say power focus which is very useful. Out of fairness between players, I totally agree, though I suspect she would attempt to keep one of these to herself, being at the end of the day... a thief. She'll see it as a souvenir rather than a focus though. No biggie really, and I don't mind it never happening due to character interactions/mess or bnc being especially focused on the loot.

at the moment it seemed like nobody cared... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[SquirrelDude]

@Gilga It may be possible to convert some cash into Karma to give you the amount necessary to both get to magic 6 and then bind the foci. As for how long that will take.

Going from Mag 5 to Mag 6 will cost 30 Karma and take 6 weeks. I couldn't find a duration for Binding a Foci, so that looks like it's only a Karma expenditure. If you still want to do more, you can initiate for 10+3*Desired Rating and the time it takes is determined by an extended Arcana+Intuition[Astral] (Initiate Grade,1 Month) Extended Test.

Well I would totally take like 200+ karma but it would feel wrong to turn Yael into an Archmage over night. Initiation is high on my list however.

[SquirrelDude]

Something something practical experience something something using money for expensive training something something handwave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)


@Jack @Others I posted E.G.s of the requested new character sheets. Is that the font you want in them (Dumpshock offers Courier New). Are there any other formatting request you have.

[Jack_Spade]

@SquirrelDude

Yeah, that's the right font.

@Gilga

As I said, you can convert freely Karma to Nuyen and back again, still, training times somewhat apply: I generally assume that you are always training something, so the time on mission and before does count when you determine that stuff, but you can't do multiple levels at once (so magic 5 to 6 is alright, 5 to 7 not so much)

[Gilga]

- I'll see what I can come up with.

- P.S Wasn't there a centering focus in that list?

Zola had on him a few rings and chains that to Anna's eyes looked like five, very potent spell foci as well as one that must be a high quality centering focus.

[Jack_Spade]

Ah right, I knew there was one I forgot: It's an F6 Centering focus
