For Naga and Merrows, a single sustained spell would be enough: Shapechange (metahuman of your choice).
I'd fail to see the point in playing such a character if it ends up looking like a normal metahuman though

maybe you should step back for a sec and look at this from another perspective

What possible purpose would an elephant have for shadowrunning? For that matter, what Mr. Johnson would actually pay an agropelter to do anything!?

Naga: create sound sustaining focus. I can at least hink of one purpose for a naga to run the shadows. To gain money and support for Angkor. Although the meet in Matchsticks would certainly be ..... interesting.

I want to play a chimpanzee Face character.

We need to make up metavarients for them too, since science says they are pretty close to human. So of course we should have elf,ork,dwarf, and troll type varients for em all....


Seriously.

What about free spirits? If I was in the kind of game were you could play all kinds of crazy shit I´d choose a free spirit.

my character was originally a gnome mystic adept until the crash then he became a technomancer who knows all about magic so he developed a way to transfer his mind to the computers on mars and traveled back and forth so many times at the speed of light that he went back in time and possessed a night one cyberzombie ninja who did software pirating and made a billion copies of his mind seeded throughout the entire first matrix and became deus who genetically engineered a mystic adept out of a human form free spirit and vampiric shapeshifter dna during the shutdown which turned out to be the first mystic adept guy the gm said it was ok what do you think

Hardly limited. It can travel the astral plane without worrying about going back for the body, and if it needs to it can materialize anywere. That´s freedom I tell you. Noo physical bonds. Doesn´t even have to eat if it doesn´t want to. It´s got all the advantages of the material world and none of the drawbacks.

Oh, yeah. The freedom to accidentally leave everything behind you wanted to take with you... including your dinner.

I don't use smileys, but I swear to God this thread makes me want to start....

Do so. People who think smileys are stupid have forgotten something: We are using written language in conversations that follow the rules of spoken language. These are not letters we post. These posts are more akin to comments in a discussion. Smileys do fill a purpous when chatting on the internet, even if you've got a good vocabulary. All pristige aside; it's just easier not to missunderstand someone who does use them.

Especially if you're hoping to get some joke across. It's not easy to read between the lines when there's just one of them. (speaking generaly)

How about just the classic offspring of a magician and an undikoted ally spirit.
Considering how many magicians have sex with their allies and how many don't practice safe sex, it is bound to happen.

To make it even more fun the half spirit would be 100% mundane.

I'm back

First of all the Gnome mystic adept thing is too out there even for me; it made my head hurt

Secondly-You got me on Dours-don't know what they are, please clue me in

Thirdly When I did my list I forgot to mention Leafers(I knew I forgot something), They would be near the end of More Likly with the Jackelmen

and Lastly(fourthly)- On my other thread about Single Spell Adepts I haven't gotton any feedback on my idea for A Psionicly based Single Spell Adept; what would basicly be the shadowrun equivalent of mutants(yes like the X-men) if you have any feed back for that idea please post it there

Later

In case you don't know what thread is refered

just to ask again what is a Dour?

Big monkey-thing, IIRC. Definitely has a small write-up in Critters. Not sure if it has a bigger writeup in one of the Paranormal Animals books, or somewhere else.
