Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shalimar" data-source="post: 806608" data-attributes="member: 9600">Where exactly are the Edges & Flaws detailed? I borrowed some books, but can't find it. (and what does Aptitude do?)Edges and flaws are detailed in the canon companionb) I guess it's pretty straight-out that there's only 90,000 to spend? I shouldn't re-arrange the reources a different way?I haven't reviewed the resources part yet.(edit) I just checked - yeah, Attributes first, then Adept, leaving 90K. Sounds right. I guess I'm short on $ now because of the alphaware (before, the tip-of-the-finger monofilament wire was breezed over as an Essence non-issue, fortunately for me - I see how it impacts other areas quite a bit.)Yes very staright out, the purpouse of the priority system is so that no one can have everything they want at character creation, its a balance thing.  c) I totally guessed with the Ventriloquism being a Knowledge skill.It just seemed to fit better there, as it didn't seem very active, with the big cost (as I remember) of active skills.Active skills are limited, you could buy it as an active skill, but then you lose out on something else.  The game you were playing in before seems very very very highpowered, this game isn't that high powered.  Shadow run is set up that characters just out of creation are mid-level characters(if you can actually aply a level description like d20)  the game you guys played just from looking at the quality of your cyber was easily an epic level game.d) The holographic projector is on page .... I haven't found it yet.I'm pretty sure it was an expansion-type, equipment guide. It detailed a retrieval line for the projector, a speaker system for sound and vision projection, and up to 7 stored "shows" that it could play back.I thought it might come in handy on some runs, and could be fun.You couldn't afford it the way it is, and you don't really need it.  I think your thinking way too high tech.  Each piece of equipment has an availibility rating.  at character creation we are only allowed to buy up to availibility 8 that monowhip is availibility 24 so your lucky Folkert let you have it.  You payed 9k for it instead of 3k becaues he made you pay what you would have to pay for it on the street.e) I thought monofilament whip only cost .10 Essence for the fingertip compartment?You got a way better deal then I thought.  Cyber weapons cost a lot of essence, even when alpha'd  they cost .24 for retractibles.  That you got a 2 meter whip grafted to your body at no essence cost is a gift.  A very big gift, that you should not under-estimate.  blades that are only a few inches long cost .24  what should 2 meters cost?  figure that out and know that you got away with that much.f) Why would I maybe have wanted Stealth to be SO high?Is it overkill, or can the extra-high scores be used effectively?Your fine as is, with the stealth score like that your great, better then world-class, you are the definition of the skill.  With a camo suit which Folkert added to your sheet your golden, it would take a monumentally bad roll on all 9 dice for you to get seen.g) What book is Nervestrike from, and what does it do?nerve strike is in Magic in the Shadows.  Basically, when you employ it with unarmed combat you reduce their quickness, if you do it well enough which is quite possible for you with the way your skills are, you leave them paralyzed.  I suggested it because you had knowledge skill pressure points.  See my comments are Ventriloquism for reasons why having it so high with no way to express it is pointless unless as a character thing bearing in mind it wouldn't ever really be usable except in conversation.h) Ruthenium Polymer is 10,000 per square meter. I don't know how much material it would take to cover a smallish man. +5,000 for an image projector.See Folkert's answer</blockquote>
