@To all:

Shalimar put up a good point. If you don't want to make your PC public knowledge, just sent it to me and do not post it here.

That sounds pretty fair, better then the way the sr3 rules handle it at any rate, I like it, kiss and all that. It also isn't open to the abuse that some interpretations of the rule is. Like one interpretation held that vision mag 3 automatically nocked the range down by 3 categories making all shots at the closerange difficulty, and with the smart link it made every single shot difficulty 2... ick

If the above rule is what you are going to use I can take off the range finder(Man and machine) accessory from my smartlink 2. It just was -1 at long range, and -2 at extreme. Effectively making it 2,3,3,5 at short through extreme range respectively.

If noone objects, we will use it.

Well here's the weapon that I made using Cannon Companion. It's basically a cross between an assault rifle and a sniper rifle. The street index and availability are chosen by comparing the other rifles in the books.

Sport Rifle C A M D W A C SI RC
(Name still unknown) - 30(c) SA/BF 9S 5 8/20 days 2680 3 2

Options: Barrel Extension, Gas Vent II

I think you got it wrong he's not a marine (soldier). He's a marine biologist (biologist who specialises in sea life); he's even got a MD. Since I'm not a native speaker I might be using a wrong term.

I'll send the character when I have the time. The start of the week is really busy for me.

 

[Douane]

Well, watch my red face.

Sorry for my misunderstanding. I'm just reading everything I can find around here about the invasion of the Normandy 1944 and the following battles for a pet project of mine, so I took it to be an "ex-marine" who then became a "biologist". The Marine Corps kind of naturally was the first thing to come to my mind. (The sniper rifle didn't help.)


As for the rifle: Sorry, but I won't be allowing this , since it is a little bit too good. Also, regarding his background, I think he would have even less an opportunity than a Marine to have a custom built weapon.

The military background would be great way to explain his combat skills (which are quite good), but I can't reasonably fit it with the university. The rifle skill is easy to explain, and so are martial arts, but smg 6 is bit different story with his background. Well I guess he learned that after night of rage, or he's just a natural.

Actually I didn't even expect to you to accept that weapon. It's just a demonstration how broken some of the rules in 3rd edition are.

 

[Shalimar]

Why not just go with the pricier, but availible weapons that Douane okayed? I mean heck if you are really that strapped for cash we probably wont need a sniper right off the bat anyway, and if we do, we could always bargain thee tools for the job as part of the upfront of the pay.

 

[Howling Coyote]

I'm thinking about it, but like Douane they are really hard to get. Still with a fixer contact it's not impossible. Money is not really the problem, since I still got around 50000 to spend, but I think I rather spend it upgrading some of my cyberware to alpha grade.

Btw. The sniper rifle idea is just a tribute for the incident in the US while back (No I'm not going to start shooting people at random)

 

[Xael]

Hopefully you went for something a little more distinctive than this? (especially as a Shadowrunner in Seattle of the Sixth World) "long black coat, black clothes, long black hair, black motorcycle and 2 big pistols"

However, the "Wind" spell was not included!

Well, actually I didn't. I tend not to think clearly when tired. Blandness would have been more appropriate... Changed it (again) to better fitting Compulsive (hates racists and makes it clear).

Agh! I'll resend the Wind spell.

Oh, and he's not really a cybermage. He is just a mage with cyberware for precaution and a fondness to pistols. ...uhh, okay he is a cybemage.

Shalimar: That character is scary.
