He began his path toward greatness with a single handshake, the day he graduated high school. He knew he wasn't college bound. He signed up right away for a job as a low end security guard at a local shopping center. It was then that he discovered the talent he was destined to become a legendary master of. The Art of Segging. This man could do more tricks with a Segway than your average X-Games contestant can with a skateboard or a bike. This Hero applied for jobs as a cop, or higher end security, many times. He was rejected each time due to his low intellect, unibrow, and lack of any real relevant skills. But he could Seg the shit out of some criminals. Frustrated at his career failures, he turned to the Shadows. He saved what little he could of his paychecks for months to purchase a customized telescoping lance. He would use it in combination with his segging skills to pierce the hearts of those who would stand against him.

The Knight of Segway archetype uses the vehicle ramming mechanics in conjunction with their customized telescoping lance for combat in the 6th world. The Knight may carry other weapons, such as a taser, but the lance & segway will always be his mainstay.

That is hilarious. I like it.

PAUL BLART !! Dont forget to have low blood sugar

Hmm?

Wat.

Paul Blart was not elite enough with a segway, at all, to qualify as a Knight of Segway.

Please tell me that's a hoax. I could never take a Segway-mounted SWAT team seriously.

I think they are not SWAT but riot control. With SMGs.

China does that too. The riot control on segways, that is.

EDIT: That may acually be a picture of the chinese practicing actually.

Yeap its a photo of chinese police practising for the olympics(IIRC)

Yeah, they've even got an attachment to clip their riot shields in front of the Segway.

Damn, segway even has police versions, rugged terrain variants, and even a military section,

I have to say though, as much as it might look silly, a segway seems a brilliant way of staying mobile with both hands free and enough stability to aim properly. If only you could turn without using the handle, it would be almost perfect.

*Headdesk* This is even worse than the "Horseman of the Apocalypse" that one of my Players made.

Riot police on segways still beats cops on a bicycle.

i still have not seen 4th ed stats for a segway...

Through an unfortunate and droll adventure, a rather insipid AI got in the segway; and is unable, or unwilling to leave it. The impressiveness of the AI never persuades the knight that he has anything less that a powerful ally, and trusty companion in his trusty machine. His ever faithful mount and companion acquired the name of Rocinante from some of his fellow runners. Thinking it had a grand and powerful sound to it, he adopted it, and proudly calls it by this name.

Explain. I'm all curious now.

The "Horseman of the Apocalypse" is a Daihatsu-Caterpillar Horseman (Arsenal Page 107) that is refitted with Walker Legs, Weapon Mount Arms, and lots of weapons. Like, dripping in weapons!

That's awesome.

Ew, I got weapon on my shoes.

Awesome? NO! It's a bloody horrorshow!

He almost convinced the other three players in the group to each buy one, and become the Four "Horseman of the Apocalypse". *Headdesk*

What about a party with a Knight of Segway, a cyborg in a supped up emotitoy, a dwarven horseman of the apocalypse, and a nartarki with shiva arms who is a little too touchy-feely for most of the women around him?

See, now, the weapon-covered Horseman should've just been War or Death.

And each of the four should have had different functions. Though, I have no idea what Famine would do.

Spraying Cutter Nanites as it drives by?

Electronic warfare drone. Not quite literal but kind of fits.

Steal cookies. All of them. Then build up on the anger of the cookie-deprived children to take over the world. And we finally have a use for these articulated arms.

Had a guy in my party who did pretty much this. I was a paraplegic mage who rode around in a horseman and he had a segway with a telescoping lance. We were both in our 70s. It sounds ridiculous, but, due to the way SR handles vehicles and collisions and stuff, he managed to score some pretty heinous kills with that contraption.

AFAIK, there are no rules for lancing people from a vehicle. It's not ramming, certainly. Perhaps it's a simple melee attack with a big penalty.

You're right. You'd have to house rule it. I'd probably make them roll a melee attack, and the ramming. The ramming damage would act as the DV of the attack.

Given how broken ramming is, I can't imagine that's a good idea. :/ Well, I guess if using a lance from a vehicle happens in a game, it's already way too Pink Mohawk to worry about brokenness.

Let me take a moment from laughing to calmly explain that between EMP grenades and tasers/Stick-n-Shock ammo, there's no need to be afraid of "Horsemen of the Apocalypse". Hilarious, but in no way threatening.

Also, with an absolute max of only 12 Vehicle armor, those things aren't really that tough (although my jaded upbringing may be coloring my opinion on that matter. When you start the game first run and fight a F12 Beast Spirit the rest of the game seems kinda tame).
