Shadowrun: Anyone Up For It?

[Shalimar]

The edge I want to take is Bonus Attribute Point(Will), its a basic +1 to will, which can take it over 6, but it does not raise your racial attribute maximum.

The flaw would be pacifism, pretty much an Elf flaw to my way of thinking. "Character never kills, save in self-defense". Which transaltes into only 1 of her spells being lethal damage dealing, Lightning Bolt, and that has secondary effects, not to mention she ouldn't use it unless it really was her life.

I do have one question though, about the availibility of an item. I want my character to have an outfit from the Heritage line by Zoe. It has the stats of a secure longcoat 4/2, it just happens to be Tres Chic and costs 10k. The availibility is 10, but I think that has more to do with the fact that Zoe designs a collection of Heritage for each group(cultural generally, Pueblo, Japanese, french royal court, etc) that wants it, and it stays exclusive to them for 1 year, then its sold to the public. If your a member of the group it was designed for, it should not be that high availibility, it should be on demand. I wanted my character to pick up the Tir Noble collection of the Heritage line.

I have some question too:

What is the level of sport in the city? I want to know mainly about all biking sport, which mean racing, combat biking and urban brawl, the latest two, being some new sports from Shadowrun.

The character I have in mind is a guy who would have been doing one or more of these sports before some events forced him to quit his sports and turn into shadowrunning (or maybe he will even continue to do his sport over shadowrunning). I want to know also if there would be some bike constructor in the city, which could be the sponsor (or have been such business before it was shut down).

Finally, purely rules talking. Do you have Rigger 3. I would like to customize my bike, or at least add some option to it, and not having a basic bike from the book, if that's possible. Such bike could have been a prototype tested by the constructor.

I'd like to take the Ambidexterity 2 Edge. It redeuces the penalty for firing two guns at once to +1 TN for each. The flaws I want to bring it back down to 0 are Impulsive (has to make a TN 4 willpower check to avoid jumping into the action), and Oblivious (+1 TN for all non combat preception checks).

That would be the 4pt version of Ambidextry, ambidextry 2 makes the first gun +2, second gun +1. I believe you also need to purchase the Offhand weapon skill for whichever weapon will be in your offhand. at Ambidextry 6, or maybe its 8, you don't need a seperate skill for offhand shooting.

I ment Ambi dex 4. Oops. I also decided to drop the ambi dex idea.

I hadn't thought about that part of it, but there would almost definitely be some mechanic shops. Incorporated teams would likely exist only in Harrisburg, though.

After all, Harley Davidson (one of the biggest cycle manufacturers) is based in York. Dunno if it still is by the time of Shadowrun or not, but I do seem to recall that Harley does still exist, anyway.

Finally, purely rules talking. Do you have Rigger 3. I would like to customize my bike, or at least add some option to it, and not having a basic bike from the book, if that's possible. Such bike could have been a prototype tested by the constructor.

No, I don't have Rigger 3... but I am planning on getting it eventually. So it would unfortunately be a baseline bike for now, but can be upgraded later.

Heh.. looks like I'd have to buy a couple more books.

But hey, that character generator is great. A lot of stuff in there that isn't in my 3E book so I may still be able to access that stuff without major purchases.

Well, since we are hashing out backgrounds and so on and so forth, I guess I'll start, the other thing it'll do is let us start to plan ourselves out as to why a fixer would call on us as a group of individuals for a given job. Since our characters backgrounds probably wouldn't be common knowledge, especially since my character wouldn't share hers, I'll give a general background, and if anyone wants to really entwine their character with mine, I'll flesh out more for that person through email. Kayla should most definitely not be the only Awakened in the group seeing as she lacks the ability to deal with the Astral in any meaningful way.

Kayla Brightflame is a Sorceress female elf who, through lack of an Irish accent is most likely from Tir Tairgire, though there are other subtle hints about her that definitely point to the elven nation for her origin. She tends to wear the most exquisite clothing, and even when she is dressing down, she is still head and shoulders above the norm for the sprawl. Some of her nicest clothes, for those who have the knowledge to recognize such fashions, belong to the ultra exclusive Tir Noble Heritage line by Zoe. She tends to wear a black cloak with mystic symbols embrodiered in gold thread, the "in" clothes for a mage thanks to Mortimer of London's advertising. She also wears a number of Foci and Fetishes about her person to aid her in her craft, were a person to look at her in the Astral, they could see a silver spiral armband on her upper arm, a ruby pendant, a silver ring, and a host of other minor fetishes.

Kayla is strongly opinionated and doesn't hesitate to speak her mind or take charge of a situation, she is fluent in Sperithel and English, and her voice has an almost purring quality to it. She holds deeply to her ideal that all life is sacred and refuses to even consider a job where a life must be taken, and she will do her best to convince those around her not to kill except in self-defense. Kayla can be found working a few hours a week in a Talismonger shop owned by Kiros Ward whom she happens to be living with, and it provides a safe and legit way to launder money for her. She and Kiros have both been known to do no questions asked healing, as well as healing for those without SINs or money to pay hospital bills.

Nice background.

BTW, does anyone know where the relationship or lack thereof between Tir Tairngire and Tir na nOg is discussed, if anywhere? I could check the 2e Tir na nOg book, but I'm not sure if that would be out of date or not.

Thanks, thats just the general stuff that everyone can know, I'll email you all the details that people wouldn't know. I don't think that the 2E info would be terribly out of date. If your asking abot how Tir na nOg Elves would treat Kayla, I assume like they would treat any other elf who was wearing tres chic clothes that cost 10k.

If you want to sign onto AIM I can give you the rest of her info, they disabled email on the board otherwise I could do it that way.
