[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8680990, member: 4534"] I never realized how ridiculous the PK-D Blaster that Deckard carried in the original movie was. This is the standard issue sidearm for blade runners and is made up of a 5 shot revolver firing .44 special ammunition, a single shot bolt action that rifles a .222 rifle round, and a single shot sonic round. I don't remember the revolver in the movie firing any sonic round and never noticed the little bolt action on the original prop. I do remember Deckard took careful aim to put a shot in Zhora's back as she was some distance from him as he fled. But didn't he fire two shots? I'll have to watch the movie again. I went ahead and made a character and the process was fairly easy. My only real complaint is that I had to track down what the starting equipment was for blade runners. But it's just a PK-D Blaster, a flying car, a KIA (personal data assistant), and a badge. Every character in the game is a blade runner, but there are several archetypes to choose from. I rolled randomly to determine whether I was a replicant or human and got human. Then I rolled randomly to figure out how many years on the force I had and got rookie. You don't have to roll randomly, you get to choose, but I elected to. The advantage of being a rookie is that you have more points to put into your attributes. The more years you have the fewer points you have for attributes but the more points you have to put into skills. [/QUOTE]
