To get Perception, you'd need to either buy Magician and get it along with 1 point of magic, or Adept and take the power.

Those are the two ways generally accepted but there was a Edge, Innate Magical Talent, the cost of which varied based upon what the innate magical talent was, and one of those was Astral Vision.

The character can see the astral through astral perceptions.

In my Companions book, SR2, it cost three points. I wanted to know if that had made it all the way into the new SR4 version or not.

As Shalimar said, the only way to get Astral Perception is to buy the Magician Quality, or the Adept or Mystic Adept Quality and geting the Astral Perception power.

There is no Innate Magical Talent quality in SR4. At least not yet, they may add it in the Magic book, but that is neither here nor there.

Slacker, here is the character concept, in my next post I'll throw up the character stats themselves. If I did something wrong in the stats, let me know. I am kind of surprised how high her pistol's skill got without maxing out agility or buying aptitude/pistols 7. Its in the range of:

13 :eek: = 6(Pistols) +2 (Semi-Automatics Spec) +5(9) (agility) + 2 Smartlink
It can even get 3 dice higher (2 more in agilit, 1 more in pistols) thats rather uh, a lot.

Anyway, History:
Tempty Windsong
Tempty was the average Seattle slum girl, she grew up a part of the neighborhood gang, the Golden Angels, and she had a gun in her hand from about the time she started to...um... develop, simply for protection, and later because her skill with it earned her a rep in the gang, and on the streets. At the time there was a businessman named Garland Greene that happened to own a dive in the Golden Angel's territory, and he contracted the gang to provide muscle to keep the place running smoothly. It got the gang money as well as free food and a place to hang out in out of the heat. It also ultimately led to the gangs destruction. A few other gangs in the area wanted in on the action as Greene's business was doing so well that he was expanding into a nightclub in a better part of town. The Rats and the Sharks merged, and between them killed the vast majority of the Angels, leaving only a few badly injured ex-angels.

Tempty who had been with Garland in his night club as his date/escort only caught the tail end of it, and it was more then enough, she barely got away with multiple injuries. Garland's legitimate business was only a sideline for his fixing, and he was easily able to get a street doc for her wounds, as well as slipping in a number of upgrades since she was already on the table. Tempty was no stranger to implants, she had gotten them as she could save up, but these she got all in one shot off the money that Garland owed the Angel's, and some money out of his own pocket besides. After her recovery she pursued her on again off again romance with Garland, as well as finding a place on a shadowteam at his recommendations. Its been almost a year in the shadows since then.

That does sound rather high, but i don't see anything that shouts out error about it. I mean you are supposed to be a gunbunny. Though, i am at work right now and can't look at the character in detail just yet.

I'll double-check it this evening. The background sounds good.

Ok well I think I'll give a try to the new system with a really basic idea of a physical adept. I will likely need some help with working out the points and everything but I'll try from what I can find.
[ Spoiler ]

This very basic as I said before, but I think it would be fun to try.

BTW, please use spoiler tags. Type [ spoiler] (without the space) and [/spoiler] to save space and keep the thread readable.

You still have open spots? I just got the PDF version of SR4 (got the paper one preordered) and I'm browsing tru. I could probably have a character sheet all done by saturday afternoon.

Mistere Juan, there is still an open call for brief concepts going on. So feel free to post one whenever.

I'll probably be closing the open call Monday or Tuesday. And making final selection then we'll start working through character generation for those without the book.

Currently I have concepts of:

Shalimar's gun-bunny
Gobogen's physical adept
Whizbang's hacker
netlich's Troll Ganger
Cydric's Mystic Adept

HMHVV and Fortune have expressed interest, but I haven't seen a concept yet.

I'm willing to have a large group of players for this, but I'll probably be narrowing it down to 6 or 7 players in the end. The sooner I get concepts the more likely you are to get one of the final slots.

Sorry about the errors, my PDF is rather finnicky, too much for my processor, it makes going through it a bit tough, and very time consuming as it slows up every page or so. I really loath Adobe, handhelds are much less choppy then pcs for reading PDFs, its rather surprising. I'm getting it printed up tomorrow, so it shouldn't be too bad to deal with until then.

As far as the datajack, oops, I misread the commlink entry, I read the 2 as being what it could accept, and not how big it would be going into something else. My bad. Essence will be 1.1 then.

Muscle Aug and Toner, drop to 2

Drop the vision Enhancement to 2 to bring it down to the 12 capacity total.

I just went back through everything and redid the errors, I ended up with quite a bit of extra cash, so I converted it back to BP. Droped the close-combat group in favor of Blades 2, freeing up 12 BP. With the 8 BP from losing 40k, that made 20BP. I bought Quick Healer, and Aptitude Pistols(didn't up my pistols to 7 though, the idea being she could be the best, but she isn't quite yet)

I would love to give this a shot if you still have room. Really want to get a chance to see these rules in practice, even if it's PbP... Which, I should add, I've never done before (PbP that is). So if you wold prefer people who have experience with that, that's cool and I'll just watch. Otherwise, if you have room, well, every good team needs a Face right? :)

Winter

P.S. -- Here's a character concept I kind of rushed together, stats to come later if you like it.

Looks good Shalimar. Though, could you use spoiler tags instead of Code tags on the character sheet (in case you don't know how, just edit the posts and switch out the word CODE for Spoiler before and after the character sheet). It makes it easier for people to skim down the forum page. By the way, my assumption is that the second Predator IV pistol is just as backup, since you don't have the ambidextrous quality and smartlink doesn't apply to firing two weapons.

Wintermancer, its no problem that you don't have experience with PbP games and that concept looks good.

Right now we are in an open call stage of PbP games, looking for interested players. Currently I've gotten 7 concepts (including yours) and 3 others have expressed interest. I'm planning to let it set over the weekend and stop accepting concepts Monday or Tuesday. At which point I will select the 6 or 7 players that I want to keep. Then there will be a period of time spent on character generation (mostly for those without the book). Then we can get into actually playing the game.

You can go ahead and make a character sheet now if you would like, but it is not required. Since I haven't decided on who will be in the group just yet, you may want to wait until after final selection, though.

Yea, just a back up, you never know when the first might break and you need another in a hurry.

Edit: Yes, bought the bike with no skill in Drive, 0 Drive is suppoused to represent the average person, able to get from point A to Point B, but not very capable of handling hazards that crop up. Between that and Auto, it should be fine as a mode of transportarion.

Alright, concept...

I'd like to play an action-type character. An adept gunslinger, real smart-ass. Someone that could be played by Jason Statham in a movie.

I haven't been able to find a printer to print out almost 30 pages of rules, so if I do get chosen, I'll probably have to work with the GM directly to create this guy, since I don't have the book.

Con Report, Day 2: Had a great time playing SR3 today. There was much blowing up of stuff, and I survived it all. :)

Hopefully I will be able to elbow into the SR4 preview tommorrow, in which I might be able to get my character together.

If I've seen any other dumpshockers, they haven't made themselves known.

Currently I have 10 interested players. At most I am going to take 6 or 7. So, yes you can still post a concept. But not everybody will be selected

Well, it's a matter of not being able to get to a printer to print them out and read them at my leisure. I've skimmed through it, but that's not enough to get a full understanding of things.

Let's set aside a time to talk over AIM or something to create this guy. Is there any particular day you're free to do that? Just tell me which day you want, and I'll tell you my work schedule for that day.
