Well... both ninjas AND hippos are mammals, and, as we all know, they know the secrets to attain real ultimate power.

Oh... I would have voted, but you forgot to include "learning how to commit seppuku with a frisbee"

I would like to offer my sincere thanks for introducing me to that site. I just fought 40 Ninjas in a super heroes game and had no idea how underpowered the GM was treating them.
Kagetenshi
The ninja were lulling you into a false sense of complacency. Sometimes they'll do that for your entire life. That's why ninja aren't as fearsome in history as they are in legend: so that people will underestimate them.

What are you saying?! Already in the year 440 2 ninjas killed an entire squadron of pirates and didn't even think twice about it!
Kagetenshi
You see? They're hiding their true power! The reality is, they didn't even think once about it!

Don't tell me that you people don't know about the first rule of ninjas..

First rule of Ninjas - The relatively power of a ninja is reversely proportionate to the number of ninjas in a strike force. I.E., a single ninja is bad ass, but 50 ninjas suck.
Lilt
Ninjas worked in teams anyway. They each had specialist abilities and used them together to create the myth of them being super-skilled and having superhuman powers.

That may well be true, but when 60,000 ninjas get together and wail on their guitars, they can kill a country!
Kagetenshi
All you need are five ninja. One with a katana, one with bombs, one that switches between deadly energy projected from his body and a giant throwing star (not a shuriken, since there's no way that thing's going to be concealed in someone's hand) that has mystical boomerang-like qualities, one with a kusari-gama, and one that throws shuriken. Then you can do anything.
Oh, and of course the leader (the katana-wielding one, with the red sash) is named Joe Musashi.

I believe it's not the number of ninjas together, but rather their clothing that defines their power.

Consider teams in anime movies, 3 ninjas all wearing different outfits with really weird looking designs like checkerboard or infinite ribbons can take 100 ninjas all wearing standard black suits.

The truth is obvious, a ninja's power comes from his clothes. Ninjas try to make people think it comes from the inside. That's obviously silly because everybody has an inside, and therefore should have ninja powers, but they don't. However only ninjas have ninja outfits, which give them their powers. The outfit, in turn, gains it's power from it's appearance and when multiple ninjas wear similar costumes it drains the power supply.

This is why you can often see 50 ninjas in identical costumes who suck with a leader who has a unique outfit and is worth more than the 50 ninjas combined. In his sleep. It's also why ninjas with really cool outfits seem to be automatically better than ninjas in lame outfits.

Nope. The only animals are attack turkeys that live in forests around pagodas and arguably these living slime-things that stick to the ceiling and then drop down and eat through the floor.

Not on the open seas... Nothing can beat a band of pirates out on the open seas... Except a larger band of pirates out on the open seas..

Now, a roving band of ninja-pirates.. *shudders*

Ninjas (common spelling niņa) are nothing but girls who haven't passed puberty yet!

K) Physad that can also sling mojo and calls some realy cool spirits because he follows the wujen path.

you were missing that one. (physad with magicans way and some ware)

plus that i got tail and i work in the dragon corp.
i got gills too
and yes, im dual-natured also.
don't get any wild ideas or i have to put you down with my gel rounds. (guns dont kill people, i do)
so move along before i hack inside to local security grid and put those turrets to better use.

Actually, I was thinking of a Free Good Merge Force 10 Bug Spirit invested in an amazing human (straight 9's) HMHVV-I convert with the power of Hidden Life, Sorcery and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Physical Stats = 9 + Force + Spirit Energy + Essence

As the Bugs essence is 10, would the maximum essence be 20??? How good...

Assuming Spirit Energy 5 you'd be looking at Physical Stats in the 40+ range!

Not to mention regeneration, mist form, etc. and the virtual immunity to destruction Hidden Life confers!

I'm spraying my load just thinking about this guy.

I get to use my bug Venom power at 20S damage code!!! Mmmmm!

Reaction is probably around 27, which Bugs (being Critters) use for Melee!!!

Combat Pool is more than 30...

Plus he can wear armour up the wazoo and use a Vindicator one-handed probably!

AH HA! The Unique Costume Ninja Inversity Power Theory explains Batman! A ninja so badassed he doesn't even DRESS like a ninja!!

The Century Ferret still whoops all of them, though.

1) Shadowrunners are mammals.

2) Shadowrunners fight ALL the time.

3) The purpose of a shadowrunner is to flip out and kill people.



As for what my true ultimate power is....hmmmm.....A ha! I'm Wiz Kids! I make all rules!
The Grifter
I agree on the ninja clothing. Just look at Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow versus those lame Ninja Vipers.

And I changed my mind on my true ultimate power.

Instead of being Wiz Kids, I'm the PREDATOR OMEGA! I defy Shadowrun itself!
Dr Komuso
Solid Snake totally flips out and kills people.... he doesn't dress like a ninja.... further proof for the Inversity theory.

I get ultimate power in two ways.
1. I am the shapeshifting ninja fear me for i am naked.
2. i am dating my gm. biggrin.gif
Kagetenshi
That would definitely do it.
REM's not kidding about the shapeshifting ninja. The GM for that game houseruled that Shapeshifters bring clothing along with them just to keep from excessive nudity in the course of the game smile.gif

I dunno -- half the fun of watching shapeshifters is watching the players realize the "oh frag, I'm nekkid" moment.

Nekkid meaning no weapons anywhere, of course. grinbig.gif
