But Deckers only get half the points for Incompetence: Seduction!

If any at all!

Incidentally, that's what this thread was all about.

No. No it shouldn't.

Because I work for DHL and personally handle a little over a thousand such shipping documents a night, and I can promise you that at least half the jackholes out there obviously have no idea what they're doing when they fill those things out.

Shipping Documents is a skill all unto itself, and one most people very clearly are defauling to try and gain access to.

As AE posted, two years ago.

Yes, yes. I meant in this thread. It's been entirely too polite and good-natured! Where is Dumpshock without telling people that they're obviously far stupider and less capable than they think they are?

well what is the ratio of IQ:SR3 INT point?

sure whatever.


Rules? I just make em up........

Could always go with INT 3 being ±1 standard deviation, int 2 being -1-2 standard deviations, int 1 being -2-3, int 4 being +1-2, int 5 being +2-3, etc. etc. etc.

Your Bot-Fu is stronger than mine.


Humm...never played deckers a lot. So I don't know anymore how the computer skills broke up in SR3...

Leadership / Motivation 1 / 3
Karate 3
Whips / Jugger-Chain 1 / 3
Athletics 2

French 0 / RW 1
German 6 / RW 5
English 3 / RW 2

Edges / Flaws:

Incompetence: Cars
Incompetence: Electronics B/R 2
Addiction Mild: Coca Cola

At least that will make the higher values quite rare... P(STAT 11)=0.00000000000000066613
This way the highest stat rating that you'd likely see in the whole human population would be 8.

LOL nice.

At any given time. You'd get an 11 every couple hundred thousand 6-billion-person iterations, roughly. That's pre-augmentation, of course.

Puts the "exceptional" back in "exceptional attribute".

And you think taking Pizza Making 1 and Incompetence: Pizza Making doesn't help you be a munchkin?

~J

That depends on how much you want to split hairs. I could probably list off about 20 more knowledge skills it's just not that pertinent in relation to the rest of reality and it's probably background knowledge similar to other college educated (or not) people.

Sure you do.

Why are you even asking Kenshi for a drawing? You should be whipping out character sketches for everyone, after all, it does not even require an effort from you. No doubt they would beat all the illustrations in any of the books, as you are just shy of being world class and a few steps beyond merely professional.

Here's how to determine your attributes.
Quickness can be determined by determining walking rate and running rate. Also by other means like the number of throwing knives or shuriken that can be readied in 3 seconds or the number of rounds that can be loaded in a revolver or internal magazine in 3 seconds.

Strength can be determined by finding the maximum weight you can lift. Tryy several times and divide the average by 23.5kg. This is based on being able to lift (Strength)D6 + (Strength * 20) kg.

Body can be determined by finding the maximum weight you can lift and holding it. Time how long you hold it until you pass out. Subtract 30 seconds from this time and divide by 3.

Since you now have stun damage, time how long it takes to recover. The base time is 9 hours. (You ask why not 10 hours? We are timing from the time you regain consciousness, which would be at 9 boxes of stun.) Repeat this lifting/holding/passing out several times to get a good sample. If the result from your recovery test is different than the result of your Body test, you are probably using willpower to recover because it is higher. Average recovery times for W1-7: W1-540 min., W2-510 min, W3-420 min, W4-270 min, W5-252 min, W6-210 min, W7 (what are you a dwarf!) - 180 min..

Intelligence can be determined by adding up your language skill and dividing by 1.5, because you have more important things to raise than stupid language skills. If you see yourself as a linguist, add all your knowledge skills and divide by 5.

Charisma can be easily assigned. You are reading a RPG message board, give yourself a 1. If you think you are the social type, give yourself a 2.

Lol, try working in a pizza place 12 hrs a day 5 days a week, it becomes an active skill that hauntes you in your sleep, and you think about it all the time. But I dont mean just knowing how, but being able to do it fast and make it presentalbe, while having at least a sub-standard health safety level (anyone who works in a restaurant should know a little of what I mean).

And if I told you all about my magical stats, plus the spirits I conjure, you'd have me locked up for psychosis and detachment from reality. But they are nice spirits.....
