3908- I may no longer hit it.
3908a- Unless the group is 106 miles from Chicago, has a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, and are wearing sunglasses in the dark.

3907a-I, 1: If God does things right, no one will think he did anything at all. Therefor, if anyone thinks God did something, he clearly wasn't involved. This is why 3907a is true.

Teryon
3098a-III: If half your team has a pink mohawk and the other half has mirrorshades...you're probably gonna have alot of fun.

3101: As a GM, I must be more clear than simply saying "You want to place the five incendiary grenades on top of the large barrels marked "Explosive and Flammable" within twenty feet of a house that contains children? And none of you have the demolitions skill???"

3102: I cannot turn the Alien Queen from the Science Fiction museum into a drone.
3102 a: Nor can I put a sprite in it when it's done.

3103: I may not take out the entire bar because I got AR spammed with a fruity oatey bar commercial.
30103a: Nor will the male Norse tradition combat mage "bust out of his blouse" if he eats one. Why is he wearing a blouse anyway?
CanRay
3103b: I can take an RPG to a bar because I hate everyone in it, and just came off a $Deitydamned mountain.

3104. No SURGEing
3105. I'm free to nerf my character as much as I please as long as it doesn't give me a bonus. Example: roll half my running dice continuously in the background until I crit glitch.

My GM doesn't own the book, and centaurs moving at speeds reserved for aircraft would kind of damage the game experience.
shiva arms could also allow 30 DV attacks with the bow.

Let me guess, Shiva arms + high Strength bow + synchronous impact thanks to that "nice" War! piece of software ?

There's also the whole infected thing, and the GM doesn't want to deal with roleplaying the apparent racism against SURGEd characters.

The only character I've SURGEd was one who got very subtle visible flaws. Striking eyes and dynamic chameleon skin. The only time he used the skin was when he was trying not to be seen in the first place.

And funny looking eyes? Not that odd in a world where people go out and do funny things with their eyes anyway.

Must be nice to have positive flaws sarcastic.gif
I don't mind that much though. I'll just keep doing what I can to make a bow all that it can be.

That character was also a drake. smile.gif The build was an attempt to find a role for a drake by utilizing all of the positives of the race. I was just flipping through the metagenetic feats, saw the chameleon skin and went "perfect, I have my design." Striking eyes were more a point of flavor than anything.

The true flaws that character had was in his lack of experience. In more ways than one. I'd only had about 88 BP to spend on skills (most characters use 120 or more and a skant 9 BP on "stuff" (hurray debt!)). He also walked into a dangerous situation blindly twice in an hour: he didn't grow up on the streets, "dead bodies" to him meant "something happened here" not "there might still be a few twitchies around, scared shitless and hiding in a closet ready to shoot."

Wow. That's interesting to know, and I can kind of see how that might happen. Is it common for powergamers to use more on equipment and less on skills? I used only 66 points on skills and I'm thinking of reducing it, but I maxed out my purchases (synaptic boosters are the primary guilty party).
Xahn Borealis
I don't know if I'm actually capable of spending less than 100 on skills.
Ascalaphus
I tend to put quite a lot in equipment. Augmentations are a quick and efficient route to power. I tend to assign 50BP to equipment, thinking "I'm sure I'll find a use for it", and then blithely spend all that remains on skills.
CanRay
3106: If my character would make even a Quebecois go, "REALLY? Too far man.", it probably shouldn't be made.

I had a few areas to cover. Athletics, stealth, "a weapon" skill, spellcasting, and a hint of hacking.*

I will admit to having pulled the number "120" out of my ass. But I could have easily spent more BP than I had to spend and still been left with things I wanted more of.

*I used it too! There wasn't a real hacker in the group, me and my 8 dice had to do the job.

3108a: Not shurikens and lightning.
3108b: Nor unicorns and tornadoes.
3108c: BULLETS.

Zero Punctuation's review of People Can Fly's "Painkiller". Bulletstorm, which isn't nearly as good, has tits on fire, BTW.
Xahn Borealis
How about the unicorn tornado gun?
CanRay
3109: I can't make Batman riding a Unicorn, no matter how much awesome it would be.
3109a: A Ninja Doctor Magician on a Spirit that takes the form of a Unicorn and a Kawasaki Ninja is vetoed as well.
Faraday
3109a-1: Unless I take a prime runner go-gang boss named "King Radical" as an enemy.
