Interesting username, there wink.gif

IN (and other attribute) suggestion -

If you consider yourself exceptionally skilled at some areas which fall under the attribute, but if it's not fully transferable to all areas under that attribute - say if you struggle with languages but are a physics/mathematics whiz - consider it a skillset rather than the base attribute.

Nor I, Talia, nor I...

Although, a few people I know offline are Int 5, and possibly 6. Not 7. I'd think that would be either very close to or exactly 1600 on SATs or world-known for their gray matter...

Just me, though.

1600 on SAT's aren't all that uncommon. It happens, more than you think, and it generally is no true indicator of intelligence, but rather a good indicator of test taking ability.

I'm going to suggest you go for 2s instead of 1s. 1s are exceptionally deficient, so if you have some sort of disability it's possible, but otherwise I'd doubt it...

Type: Witchcraft
Base: 6 Init:0 Gaesa: 0 Spent: 0 Total= 6
Totem Bonuses/Penalities:

Can use Sorcery and Conjuring skills, access the astral plane, and use foci. Plus the benefits and disadvantages of their totem/tradition.

Wicca, or the Craft of the Wise, exists in both shamanic and hermetic forms. Some witches are followers of nature magic. Others (usually more British and American) are mages who incorporate the religious observances of Wicca into their lives, but whose magic is distinctly influenced by the hermetic traditions found in England in the nineteenth century.

Traditions: Hermetic or shamanic, depending on the witch's background. Typical totems include Great Mother, Moon Maiden and Horned Man.

Tools and Trappings: Magical tools common in witchcraft include the dagger (athame), chalice, pentacle, wand, cauldron and broom. Witches commonly perform ritual magic according to the cycles of the moon.

20) How does your character view his/her role as a shadowrunner?
She doesn't really. Often she ends up being the leader by vote of enthusiasm. Is quite happy to be the spokesperson and do a hell of a lot of work, so long as everyone else contributes. Most happy being the mouthpiece of the management, rather than the person in charge.

*laugh* -- the boards feel "bored", and at least this was a good time-filler and occasionally ego-booster. Not to mention which, we can once again argue about what an IN of 5 or 6 really means. And besides, it's a better way of getting to know each other than the truth or hedge or outright lie we choose to post in our username profiles wink.gif

Hmm ... considering that I'm playing a bicycle courier just now ...

(Btw - has anyone ever tried running a Shadowrun game using themselves as starting PCs?)

Yep, once. One particularily nosy player then made up stuff that gave him access to all kinds of things he doesn't have IRL - like, I know this guy, he has an automatic pistol he'd surely lend to me. Remember, I don't live in the states, so firearms aren't quite as easy to come by as they are there.

Needless to say, it was quite the bummer.

Kick my Computers skill a point or two, add some programming language skills, add Projectile Weapons 1 (maybe 2, but I doubt it) and I'm still much the same otherwise.

Well, I might count for Strength 4 nowadays, and I might have moved up a Resources category (easy to do down here).

I like how everyone is giving themselves above average charisma, and I don't see many CHAs below 3. Charming, are we?

Guess i would be a face type - i know a lot of people and are not interested in combat wink.gif
Demosthenes
I'm not going to shame myself by posing stats for myself.

I'm the kind of person my colleagues and friends come to for answers to weird and strange questions.
And I talk talk-talk-things. (Out of my arse, usually).

And solving problems. I'm very good at that whole strategic-thinking/problem-solving thing. I'm just terrible at the application.

I guess that makes me someone's contact or something...

Nor I, Talia, nor I...

Although, a few people I know offline are Int 5, and possibly 6.  Not 7.  I'd think that would be either very close to or exactly 1600 on SATs or world-known for their gray matter...

Just me, though.

1600 on SAT's aren't all that uncommon. It happens, more than you think, and it generally is no true indicator of intelligence, but rather a good indicator of test taking ability.

-says the owner of a 1600 on the SAT.

Derek

I agree whole heartedly

Since when is the SAT supposed to be an intelligence test? Scholastic Aptitude Test - it pretty much tells you what it is, and it works fairly well. Or at least, there's a strong correlation between SAT scores and future academic performance.

Second, while it's certainly possible to have a low SAT score and still be quite intelligent - you don't test well, you're an eccentric genius, whatever - the reverse just doesn't happen. Getting a high score does not mean you're a genius (neither does having a 6 INT in SR, BTW), but it virtually guarantees you're significantly smarter than average.
