Five-and-a-half minutes longer than some men need...


Wasn't that also shadowtalk in one of the books?

Give her a motivation, though - revenge is a powerful motivator. Track down the random scumbag who date-raped your new friend Orangepeel and visit nine circles of nine hells worth of torment upon their benighted souls.


That, and the opportuinty to refer to a Great as "Orangepeel".

Also Leäl.

Per Arsenal, top left of p77:
Leäl is a less potent—and expensive—version of laés, and a popular
date-rape drug among the Seattle club scene. Leäl has the same
effects as laés, but the user only loses the last (120 – Body, minimum
100) minutes of memories; the duration is 5 x 1D6 minutes.


Ah.
I lost track of that one.

2210: I am not allowed to make a toxic shaman whose mentor spirit is essentially Godzilla.
2210a.: Nor am I allowed to make his spirits take the form of certain popular kaijuu monsters.
2210b: Not even a toxic free spirit.
2210c: In fact, despite how awesome the idea is, no Godzilla at all.

Godzilla Spirit is already canon.

2210a(1): .... unless the PCs are allowed to pilot giant battle-robots in defense of all manki- oh, wait, that's a movie, not Shadowrun ...

2211: I'm not allowed to introduce GLaDOS into Shadowrun, even if she is crossing dimensions.

2212: I am not allowed to dig up famous or infamous historical people for any purpose, explicitly including but not limited to cloning them.

*Adolf Hitler
*Josef Stalin
*Genghis Khan
*Napoleon (None of them)
*The Duke of Wellington
*Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth III of England
*Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I of England
**On second thought, nobody who has ever held any sort of regnal or noble title
*Ragnar Lodbrok (even if it would require an act of herculean archaeology to determine if he was a real man in the first place, let alone to locate his mortal remains and extract viable DNA from them.)
*Ötzi the Similaun Man
*Freddie Mercury
*Ozzie Ozzbourne
**No other Legends of Rock, either.
***On second thought, no-one who has ever taken a stage in front of a paying crowd of fans

*Dale Earnheardt (either Sr. or Jr.)
*Richard Petty
**No motorsports legends, peroid.
***That includes motorized stunt legends, so put Evil Kinevil back in his grave.

I move to strike this entire entry, unless a provisional exception is added for Sean Connery. I would also like to specifically add Super Dave to the list of people forbidden to be cloned.

What about Prime Ministers of Canada? A drinking contest with Sir John A. MacDonald would be AWESOME!

Then the German publishers will bring out his contemporary von Bismarck in their corner. I think between the two of them they could drink most trolls under the table.

Trolls? Dear person, I believe you underestimate these highly important people.

DRAGONS.

Awesomeness cannot be cloned. It is as much if not more nurture, environment, and circumstance, as nature. Such an endeavor is doomed to failure, only tears can result. This is why it is forbidden.

"Ageless Elf" just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?
