Full Version: OOC: To Fight A Dragon
keep in mind that your drones sensors count double rating for their bonus to your roll.
Shadow: Are you counting bullets at half or full listed weight?
yes
That wasn't a yes or no question. It was a Option A or Option B question. 
For you, full, for everyone else, half 
Half listed weight.
Half listed weight.
Kind of like "Pepperoni or sausage?" "Yes."
Confuses them every time.
Confuses them every time.
So how many frelling legs do I have to break before the rest of you twerps post your character concepts? Whizbang, Raiko, Sabosect... I'm looking in your directions! <hunts around for his baseball bat>

Bah! Like I would carry a gun!?
<scribbles down a "cannon fodder" note in his notepad next to Ecclesiates' name>
Oh, btw, I did take Metal for an Elemental Strike to I can wear down the Dragon's armor.
I'm re-tooling still... I like the uber-sword, but it's just too odd... gonna go with an adept w. a cutsom vehicle... odd sounding, yes, but you'll all see, yes you will...
Name: Archmage
Archetype: Path of Kings mage
Focus: Elemental spells
I still can't get over how similar Funkenstein's and my concepts were when we compared notes...

Great minds think alike. (I wonder what my excuse is, then... hmm...)
New concept is insane... insane but fun, much fun...
Sammy
Archetype: Combat Decker
Specialties: Sammy's specialties run in two areas: Decking and guns. While he doesn't have the most weapons of anyone, he has a lot of weapons capable of doing a lot of damage. And what programs he has are top-notch, even with his deck itself having close to enough memory to, as he puts it, "run an AI."
Other info to know: Sammy had to run from his past recently. He had a Johnson that decided to use him and his group as throw-away distractions. Sammy's group survived, the Johnson wasn't happy, and Sammy decided to relocate. He's pretty much just getting into the local area.

@ Sabosect: Are you dead set on playing a Decker?
Don't underestimate those decks. They can have hardened armor out the yin-yang. If in doubt, hide behind the decker hiding behind his deck...
Actually, I'm considering whether to be a decker or a troll gunbunny. To get an idea of what I have done with this guy, take a look at the long post I made on page five. That lists everything I had at that point.
I'm just not sure whether it is the 12 disposable missile launchers, the 25 kilos of C12, or the M107 that is the overkill.
If I change to a troll, expect strength to go way up, weapons to remain the same, and more armor.

If you wish to change to a strait Sam with guns and ammo up the yin yang... Brother! <claps you on the back Russian style>
Honestly, I think a troll gunbunny would be a great addition to the team. We have a lot in the way of magic it seems, and a rigger with tons of drones... but no real cyberzombie type. If the rest of us somehow get our magic zapped out, we're all but screwed...
Gonna be some more fire support from me... left behind thoughts of the sword weilding adept... just need to decide whether I want to go for control pool, or atunement...
This isnt a spoiler or anything, but for thosee of you who are concocting nifty flying devices (you know who you are), please don't be upset if you can't use them as much as you like.
How about heavily armored railgun-turreted hydrofoil-capable RAM and Ruthenium-coated ED and ECM/ECCMed-out-the-rear yachts?
<Dragon Turtle raises it's head.... lunch?>
As long as it doesn't sneeze all over my fly boat and talk to himself like he has a split personality, I'm cool with that. I imagine he's less well armored inside, baby... kaboom! No more mock turtle-dragon soup for me.
Enter... the Dragon...
The end of the week should be fine, but you know how anal I can get with chargen. 
Holy Crap! 400 Karma and 20,000,000 
? Is this game still open?

Leowulf: Far as I can tell, no, it's closed.
Alright, Shadow suggests I post the heli here for suggestions and tips. Keep in mind it's my first time really designing a full-blown heli and not a rotor drone.
Leftover CF and Load stated are after 15 Body 2 drones weighing at around 400kg each.

Ouch.
With a range of only 350 kilometers, we're not going to be able to go much of anywhere in it if it's outside Seattle. And with a Signature of 4 alone, not to mention a lack of Electronic Deception, that bird's going to get shot down in a hurry even with Armor 30 should we come across anything hostile... just about any anti-vehicular weapon can take it down. :/
If you don't think it'd be an insult, want me to try and put some stats together for you to look over and see if you can improve it or something? I won't be able to do it until later this afternoon, but it won't be too much trouble.

Not insulting at all.
As I said, my first big bird.
At the moment, with minimal markups, it costs just over 5mil. What I first had was a whopping 13mil -- the rest of my cash.

Okay, here you go. Feel free to keep what you like or do whatever you feel is best for your character. I added some notes at the end.
Hope you dig it, or at least find some inspiration.
EDIT: Apparently the Spoiler tag doesn't like the Code tag.

I'll poke around it a bit more, definitely.
And I was actually going the same route; command base until all the drones are gone or pretty much gone, then fly her up and use the railgun.

New concept:
ICBM
Archetype: Troll gunbunny sam from Hell.
Specialties: Guns and explosives. Lots of guns and big explosives. And he can beat people up if he needs to.
Other info to know: ICBM had to run from his past recently. He had a Johnson that decided to use him and his group as throw-away distractions. ICBM's group survived, the Johnson wasn't happy, and ICBM decided to relocate. He's pretty much just getting into the local shadows and trying to establish a new network of connections.
Muscle replacement, wired reflexes... I would hate to meet this guy in a well-lit police station with the entire force there and aiming guns at him, let alone a dark alley.

The chopper looks good....
Hows everyone else doing?
Hows everyone else doing?
Almost done. I got my stats mostly taken care of, now I just got to write up my background (which I already have in mind, just need to write it down).
All I want to do is make sure I got the math correct, so I'll send you the numbers portion first and then the background.
I'm about half-way there or so. I'm so dragging my feet...
How about Raiko and Ecce?
Well ... I'm about 85% finished on the sixth (or is it seventh) incarnation.
PM away.
Please do not PM me characters.

Mr. Funkenstein just pointed a few things out to me. The stats aren't final, but it'll give ya a rough idea.
Dude... I give you 400 karma and you hand me a character with a Attribute of 2?
What the hell does a Shapeshifter Adept know about dealing with people?
That's Etiquette. Charisma is your strength of personality. Comes in handy against astral barriers, too.
Ugh... Point taken.
Give me a little while to format it. Program is on a different comp.

Don't worry about resending at the moment Sab, just next time you make a change and send him, do it via email.
