Yay! I just hope my math is correct. Sometimes, it gets weird...
Ol' Scratch
Welcome to the Dyslexic Mathematician's Club, Sabosect. I'm a lifelong member, myself.

Hi, my name is Rich, and I'm Dyslexic.

Wow, thanks do Doc Funk's Ultimate Whore Skills Of Doom!™, I now do *edited so Shadow doesn't hike up the Dragon stats* with my snap blades (and only a Str of 6).
Ol' Scratch
What?! Don't blame that munchkin crap on me, bitch! (And your bill is $50.)
Ecclesiastes
Crap.... nevermind. Snap Blades don't get the same +50% Power like Cyber Spurs do. Back to the drawing board...
Shadow
I told Doc this, and I might as well tell all of you, the stats of the dragon are set in stone, as well as his defenses, gaurdians, cruise missiles, and orbital batteries. I wont be changing or adding anything just because you guys thought of somethign I didnt.


Having said that, ignore the lake of ketchup on the island smile.gif

Take the Delta ware essence hit and get Spurs.

<trick type="Jedi mind"> You should post the dragon's stat block. </trick>

Do you allow Shapeshifters to have Deltaware then?
Shadow
I should post the Dragon Stat block...

Bah.

Sabosect
Funk, you mind if I get your help on this? The math isn't adding up again.
Ol' Scratch
Uhm, whatcha need?
Sabosect
Just to make sure I've spent everything correctly.
Ol' Scratch
Well, what do you need checked? That's what I was asking. smile.gif

EDIT: Oh ho! A crafty PM has snuck into my box. I'll check it out in a little bit and get back to you.
Sabosect
Everything.
Ol' Scratch
Ouch. He needs quite a bit of work to make him worthy of a 400 Karma character... I'll see what kind of recommendations I can offer. Kinda in the middle of something at the moment though. But I will reply sometime tonight. smile.gif

Out of curiosity, do you only have access to the main sourcebook?
Morgannah
I hope no one minds if I fill in a space, here? smile.gif
Ol' Scratch
I do! Oh, wait, no I don't.
Sabosect
Main Sourcebook, CC, and the matrix book. I did have the Shadowrun Companion until a cat had some fun with it. Little problem with money at the moment.

Wouldn't that depend on what you fill it with? wink.gif
Morgannah
nyahnyah.gif I don't know .... Would it?
Ol' Scratch
Okay, get a room people. Don't make me get the spray bottle out.
Shadow
Ok here is the list of players I have

Doc Funk (Belfast)
Fortune (Danny)
Ecce (Adept)
Whizbang (Mage)
Tanka (Rigger)
DH (Adept)
Sabo (Troll Street Sam)
Raiko (??)
Rokur (??)
Morgannah (Mage)

Final characters are do By Friday at 5 PM. No exceptions. Ok well maybe there will be exceptions, but you need to let me know if you cant make the Friday deadline. I would like to get the game started over the weekend.

Currently we are a little week on the mundane side. If anyone hasn't decided what to make yet, another troll or ork street sam could be good. Or another adept. I recommend highly focusing your character if you want to survive, let alone win.

I'm curious, since y'all have 20 mil... y'all think about hiring mercenaries and grunts? Have that fire support team who will man the anti-air missle battery or the mobile artillery platforms? Great way to pound the enemy base... there's all those great stats for the artillery pieces and mortars...
Morgannah

But I like this room....

I'll also get to working on my character right away; already fleshed out a fair amount (mojo-slingers EAT through karma like no one's business). There won't be a problem with getting her in on time.

What 20 Million? I have Karma! wink.gif
Ol' Scratch
And who needs mercs? We got a fleet of drones! biggrin.gif
Sabosect
And my last draft had portable artillery covered, though the next draft may change that.
PBTHHHHT
QUOTE (Doctor Funkenstein)

That works too.
But again, are any of y'all buying the hordes of drones/vehicles that can put up mortars and whatnots? that'll be cool, to have a fire mission planned out that will aid in your assault.

I look forward to reading this massive action/adventure thread. Wheee!!! biggrin.gif
Fortune
Tell me about it. I have been waiting for a game like this for a while. smile.gif
Ol' Scratch
Just sent you a PM, Sabosect. Lemme know if it's looking a little better in your eyes. smile.gif
Shadow
I don't think Mercs would voluntarily attack a dragon. They would have to be tricked or something.
Ol' Scratch
Like I said in a PM... we sucker them into thinking we were just going out to audition for the Desert Wars and offer a five-year multi-million-nuyen contract. We'd even throw in free t-shirts of one of the musical bands we also sponsor -- the Lemmings. Solid plan, man... rock solid. Should any of them live, well, accidents happen. (Hooray for a complete and total lack of moral fiber!)
Sabosect
Meh. You can get gangs to attack a dragon if you pull it right. Just tell them the dragon is an illusion of some mage and that if they shoot it and attack it in melee it'll go away.

Dr. Funk- PM for ya.
Shadow
Solid as the sand under your feet.

What's "moral" fiber? Is that a type of pill I can take? Can I buy it in the store?
Digital Heroin
Scary thought of the moment: I may be spending as much as 10 mil on Karma...






...well, not really, but there could be a lot.
Shadow
I think Fortune spent the whole thing on karma.
Fortune
Not quite ... 12 Million so far, with probably a couple more soon. biggrin.gif

I would have spent it all on Karma, but some of the toys were just too tempting. wink.gif

I'll be entering a street sami (called Raiko nyahnyah.gif, so hopefully I won't die). He's a human, but hopefully with this much karma/resources he'll be tough enough.

Does Danny get to keep his 500+ karma when we continue Team Effort? wink.gif

That's be nice, wouldn't it? smile.gif

Since team Effort was set in '59 (ish), I figure the intervening years are enough rationale for the Karma increase.
Shadow
Actually Team Effort was in late '63.

I rationalize that is is a alternate unverse.
Tanka
Something I just noticed with your version of the heli, Doc. In order to have DBW, you need Structural Agility.

Reworking the heli now with a few of the notes from Doc in mind. I completely forgot about the Quality Factors page.

Back to the drawing board!

Edit: And each 5 PF of "fuel" is 1 kg, not 1:1. nyahnyah.gif
Fortune
Weird ... my history for TE has it wrong then. Oh well. smile.gif

It's not like it's a big deal, but if you want, I'll change to a different character.
Ol' Scratch
Nope, you need Drive-By-Wire to have Structural Agility, not the other way around. The +1 to Reaction is so not worth the exaggerated cost of SA. And you should look at my notes for the Fuel Capacity Increase again. wink.gif I bought 1,000 units of it, granting 5,000 PF and lowering Load by 1,000kg. smile.gif
Tanka
Go me for reading.

Now... Multi-Object Manipulation: Says Adaptation Pool x 100 per level. Robot Pilot 5 + Improved Neural 5 = 10 Adaptation Pool, correct? Multiply by 500 = 5,000 DP.

Or is my brain slowly trying to tell me to go take a nap?
