last_of_the_great_mikeys
I am a full, 400 BP character now! Yay! 20 points into the Ork race, 200 into Attributes, 40 points into Edge, that leaves me with 140 points for skills, nuyen and contacts. I tend towards violence, so I'd have to be either an adept or have some 'wear to pump me up. So, how do y'all viewl me, as the magic man or the machine man? Let's make the character that is Mikey! ork.gif

Actually, your title just states 'Runner'. For all we know, you could be some Forrest Gump-like dude. wink.gif biggrin.gif

My Logic score is at least 2. My use of grammar alone should demonstrate that.

Damn! That's saying something this year. Almost a double insult there. I'm wounded to the quick, and may have to retaliate as soon as I can find where I put Tie Domi's phone number. biggrin.gif

Go Leafs Go ... next year!
last_of_the_great_mikeys
Tie Domi is busy with women troubles. Besides, I'm an ork, remember? I fear no Leaf goon! I am a 400 build point shadowrunner! Domi's lucky if he got half of that! I fear no Athletics 3 score when I have both melee and ranged combat skills!
Fortune
You still don't get it. There is no 'shadow' in your title. You are merely a bipedally ambulating pedestrian who has used up his action for the turn by 'Running'. No 400 BP for you ... yet. Post more ... earn Karma. nyahnyah.gif biggrin.gif

Or you're a low-level, 300 BP 'Runner, working his way up the Shadows. nyahnyah.gif

'Course, I'm a good for nothing "Moving Target" ATM, which means I'm smart enough to go for cover!

At least you're moving. I'm still just a target that stands there waving dumbly at the nice men with guns.

On a side track, is it just me or does Fortune's title say immoral elf? I could have sworn that it used to be immortal elf.

You forgot to mention the big bullseye on our backs, Sombranox.

on the side track, yes. He really is an Immoral Elf.

Nope! That was when I was a mere neophyte runner. I am working toward prime runner, but hey, 400 BP is good.

Fortuney, methinks you see only what you want to see...would you rather see this 400 BP ork running toward you or away from you? biggrin.gif

Snowy, if I was a jogger it woulda said so. Stop tryin' to make me look bad. I don't need your help for that.

Y'all seem to have gotten sidetracked though...

Tell me about it. And at my size they couldn't miss me if they were blind paraplegics shooting from 50 meters away in a rain storm.

Oooops. Sorry. Definitely a cyber dude, someone with wares upgradeable and the beginnings of the ol' "SOTA is my GOD!!!" syndrome just waiting to ride the curve to Prime land. smile.gif

Bah, I'm a moving target. We're worth more points than targets because we're harder to hit and that makes us more likely to get shot at. I have to move because if I didn't then the shooting targets are coming down on my ass to rack up some karma. I have practically no offensive options besides persuading two shooters to hit each other and even then it doesn't count me as the killer so there's no reason to risk my neck. I just gotta keep running until my movement karma tops out and I ascend to shooting.

It's a tough life being a moving target.
DocTaotsu
I'm just glad I got my strength up high enough to start running. I can only hope that my body is high enough to start wearing real armor...

How do you think He got the title IMMORAL ELF? It sure was not selling girl scout cookies.

Ah, but did you get lucky?
last_of_the_great_mikeys
I think I'm gonna have Snow Fox as a contact...someone to launder and invest my illicitly gained funds. I think she'd have a connection 3, but probably just a loyalty 1 until I started pumping in the cash. There's 4 more BP's gone.
Snow_Fox
Until I call an agent I know or my sister in law at the Treasury dept and report you for money laundering and so get a few kicks with my law enforcement contacts.
last_of_the_great_mikeys
I'm willing to become violent over something like that. ork.gif AND spread around what ya did. Your street rep would tank (as if accountants care about street rep). Oohhh...a run to get your client list...fun AND karma!

Don't mind me, I'm just posting to see what my own title is....

Does anyone know how and when someone moves to the next level? IE: when will I become a moving target?

Here's a link to the last time this discussion came up, to save some rehashing. smile.gif

IIRC, Moving Target is 500, and it's a rank increase at every 500 for a few ranks. I of all people should probably know this. But hey, once you're the Fisty of Doom, Immoral Elves and the like become irrelavant. biggrin.gif So you've got a while.

I am now a Shadowrunner!



So I´m able to choose my title. Found a box that will apparently do that. But what to put into it? Is there a list of "taken" titles?
BishopMcQ
No formal list exists to my knowledge. Be creative and you should be fine.
