Well, first thing I see is that imp reflexes and synaptic boosters are incompatable.

Dear All Mighty. I truly fear the social adept dice pools. And I have one of these in my game... Although not nearly as maxed out, but I still fear this potential

oh, thanks I hadn't realized that. Removed the Booster, added another level of tailored pharemones. I could use the anyhow.

I saw the trailer for that movie, then looked at this character again. It´s a really good concept, man.

Oh out of curiosity, since in the movie its cocain, why the switch to heroin? Just out of curiosity

Fewer nose bleeds and you have an excuse to have a silver spoon when you really need to gouge out the eyes of a shifter.

wouldn't negotiation and etiquitte max out at 6 (1.5 times the natural rating) or am I misreading the rules?

Everybody is potentially missreading those rules. I even wrote Rob a letter about it, but haven´t gotten an answer. It´s open to interpretation as of yet.

(The imp. ability power has a line that explicitly states that it is not a boost to the skill itself. Just about every other situation that is effected by the 1.5 rule has similar quirks about them)

Like the concept, though how one has a 'mild addiction' to heroin I don't get

That's how it starts man. Read the darktower series by Stephen King. Gives a good detailing of the spiral into hell that is addiction.

Shadow Prophet: I chose heroin because he mostly operates in Manchuria, Mongolia and other areas in Northern China. What that area of the world lacks in Coco plants it makes up for in poppies. Since he likely gets a fair bit of his pay in the local illigal currancy it means he probably sees a fair bit of heroin pass through his hands.

Bclemets: Since it's a mild addiction I'd probably say that he doesn't mainline it (yet) either, he just smokes it during his down time.

The implications are great. especially if he can't get a fix and the opposition happens to have some china white handy....

yeah I really wanted to do somthing other than just grab a few extra BP's by taking a mild addiction to Stims or somthing. I figure this would open up more role playing possibilities other than just checking off another stim patch once a week while you keep track of your ammo ect.

EDIT: Oops, mixed up Tailored Pheromones with Mnemonic Enhancer. It's kinda funny though that it's easier to get the legal Symbiotes(3) than the Forbidden Tailored Pheromones(3).

That version of the XLS doesn't do Avail checking on the 'Ware, you have to do it manually.

I worked in a jail for four years....Meth is the devil.

I like the Intimidation(3) and the thumbs up with the languages. What does "(Negotiation: 9)" mean? Because you get a pile more than that in the dice pool? Also anyway to come up with the extra 9BP for Alpha grade TP(3)? Because then they only cost (0.6x0.8=0.48 essense) which leaves you room for your Synaptic Boosters(1), and saves you those 2 power points from Improved Reflexes. Maybe drop a point of Agility? You aren't the crackshot in the group anyway.

EDIT: Ok, i see where you are getting 9 from now. Skill + Imp Ability, but you can't have 5 in those because you are limited by both your Magic and the Skill ranks to 4. Get some Mystic Armour or something?

Oh, and that Contact list looks way wrong. Or am i the only one seeing a huge disjoint between the Connection values and the job descriptions?

P.S. Although there are indeed "high functioning" smack addicts why not just change it to an opium addiction. That's a bit tamer than heroin and gives you an even more local flavour (which i like BTW). If you start jonesing and run out we can just go shake down the nearest village. What could possibly go wrong with that?™

the Negotiation 9 is just his influance group 4 + the Imp. Ability adept power of 5. The rest of the dice pool comes from his Cha of 7 + tailored pharimones of 3 giving him a total of 19 dice

The alpha TP's might be a good idea but I'll have to play with it a bit.

I put the connections fairly low simply because even though the cornel and the two warlords would have a lot of local clout they wouldn't be able to change the outside world enough to affect my character that much. As for the MET cornel however I just ran out of BP's

psst, it's colonel. yes I know there's no "r" there and it makes no sense, but neither does a good bit of the military. though the french version does have an "r".

heh, oops.

Well if you can convince Mark of that power to you....

Speaking of which have you talked to him about what we're doing this weekend?

P.S. Check my last post, you have those Improved Abilities too high.

As Blakkie said, you can't have the Improved Ability Power higher than either your Magic Attribute or the appropriate base Skill. Max for that character (at this time) is 4.

yeah that makes sence... I'll fix it when I get a chance.
