Actually said. Cannot be ruled suicide -- the character survived. Could be ruled "attempted suicide". Did succeed in ticking off the dragon... even got him to pay attention to the swordsman mostly. Just didn't drive him beyond remembering that he can cast spells.

Lofwyr was laughing? (He's been hiding in my character's head) All of these were directed at Alamais. That was the set that Alamais didn't tune out.
I mean.. you can't use the parentage and such... you'd have to spend half your time appeasing the dragon inside your head...
Really.. it almost worked. It's just that he had 2 sets of flame and one powerbolt directed at him, as well as the melee.

GM: the fire elemental shrugs off the spirit blast, materializes, and engulfs you.
Me: Drek
Rigger: How many white phosforus grenades have you picked up?
me: Oh Drek!
Sam: How many bodies are surrounding you with grenades on their harnesses?
me: Frag
GM: do you want me to roll object resistance?
Me: why bother, i'm gonna blow anyway, might as well take something with me. I pull the pins on all my grenades.
GM: the rest of you notice DW wave farewell then mumble something about Goreman being an a$$h0le before he blows up. The spreading fire makes the 30 bodies around him also erupt white phosforus going everywhere. Hooper-Nelson?
Me: Nah, i just wanted to go out with a bang.

It's my character, a mage, Tom Ace. I'm *cough* 'filling in' for a guard at the facility my team needs to hit. Liberal use of the Mask spell and the previous guard's uniform. So, there's my character, standing guard on one side of a door, and then an actual guard on the other side of the door. We're making idle conversation. It's important to note that the GM let me make a spell 'create cookie'.
Guard: "... wow, I'm hungry."
Me, the supposedly mundane guard, summons up a cookie right in my hand.
Me: "Oh, hey, want a cookie?"
Me: "Uh, why are you looking at me funny? It's just a cookie."

"Create Cookie"?
That spell just broke some half-dozen laws of SR magic, as far as I know. The energy required to create a 60 gram cookie is greater than the explosive power of at least a few hundred pounds of dynamite.
A dumb line:
"Harlequin? That guy's gonna geek himself summoning some wussy elemental. Let's kill him and take his stuff".
I've heard something not unlike this said before. Needless to say, it was by someone who played D&D.

Heh. I spent my first SR game trying to find out how I could get my PC some sushi, and why it was so darn expensive. (I was trying to roleplay, alright? At least I was'nt the street samurai.)
Of course, if I recall, someone made a comment about Sr. Oscuro showing up with a plate of sashimi. Only now do I understand what he meant.

I actually mentioned the whole E=mc^2 thing in a previous thread about the capabilities of SR magic, and it was pointed out to me that in SR mages can bring matter and energy from other planes. So he could have summoned the cookie (or the energy equal to the cookie's mass times the square of the speed of light, which is more like a nuke than dynamite) from a metaplane.

Energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared. That's the conversion rate for mass to energy. Which means that if you convert mass into energy (with antimatter or a nuke or by chemical reactions or whatever) you get that much energy for each quantity of matter that ceases to be. and it also means that if you wanted to create mass out of energy (any mass, even a cookie) that's how much energy you'll need.

So, in short, a Create Cookie spell does not "break some half-dozen laws of SR magic", which was the point I was trying to make.
Heck, even going back as far as first edition Grimoire, its been possible to use magic to create cookies, you just had to find a free spirit with the wealth power willing to make "really expesnive cookies".

This has gotten players in my games in to more trouble than you can imagine, well maybe not than people here can imagine but you get the idea. Elevator make great physical security chokepoints. If a building is designed so that the stairways can be accessed only from inside the stairwell on the ground floor, then people trying to reach other floors have to take the elevators. If the elevators are equipped with MAD's and Cyberware Detectors and monitored by a security rigger who can seal and stop them, then flood them with Neuro-Stun Gas. Further if it is a large enough building to use an express elevator system (travels only to certain floors then shorter elevator systems cover the floors in between)) secondary checkpoints can be built in.
