/srg/ - Shadowrun General

I think its because it fires assault rifle ammo. I dont have SHB2 but theres no mention of a concealability change in the pastebin translation so I always assumed it was using the basic SMG conceal stat.

>team if all blood mages/adepts
Yes or yes?

sure, just take some Used WR3 and a free comlink

fgsfds.
Could be? It's not one of the books I did personally and I don't do German, so I never had a chance to vet it personally. I'll amend it for the next build.

Reducing an Adept Powers PP cost with Way of the Adept only counts for one level, but can you use multiple allowances of Way of the Adept for multiple levels?

Hey yekka.

Is it possible to add an option so that an AI inherits the Body/Agility/Reaction/Strength of the device currently selected as the Home Node?

I'd like to say yes but something in the writing makes me think no.

Far as I'm aware there aren't any instances that would let you do that; what have you got in mind specifically?
That should be doable, yeah.

>This cost reduction cannot be used multiple times if the power has multiple levels: the reduction applies to only one level, but can be used for different aspects of the same power,
such as a different Increased Attribute. (SG, 176)

Unfortunately not, only the first level can be discounted. Pissed me off when I realized that too.

My Magic Attribute is six so I have 3 discounts.
I have two adept powers that are eligible for this, one with levels.
Can I use only one on the levelled one, or two (or three, if I cared to)?

Ah. Yeah, you're SOL. PP discounts apply to the first level of a power only, unless you get multiple copies of the power, ie Improved Physical Attribute.

Listen here chummer, i don't know what was written in the books you have read or what your GM told you.
But in the sixth world gangs use puvlic highways to play shotgun jousting with civilians, use surface to air rockets to attack cargo planes and own/become coprs by themselve.
There is no urban area where smalltime gangs can walk out and mug some poor bastard on the street, it's the sprawls and here is metahuman stacked upon metahuman. There is no more small pond for small fishes and if you meet a small gang than that's only because they are either paying tribute to a larger organization, you just don't know that they are actually way larger or they are soon to be dead, one of those three.

rip.
How's Initiation for adepts? I don't write scholastic texts and I don't do spirit journeys, I can't even do astral projection. How do I justify my initation?

Cut off your dick so you can focus more on doing adept things.

youtube.com/watch?v=vK4gv11PTI8

You're stupid or a retard, I can't tell which. Gangs don't have or use military flamethrowers, tanks, apcs or missiles.

Now you are the braindead who went from military vehicle to tank.
also Tim, 500 nuyen question, What are the Halloweeners ?

What's your favorite gun?

i would go with dart pistol, just because that you can deliver your payload through any armor as long as you are good enough at either shooting or sneaking.
Also if you GM isn't a complete bastard where guards are hyper aware and reactive to a small prick in their side.

Pistol or Throwing Adept.
Why?

Pistols for john woo

>dual wielding
bad idea

Not if you're Chow Yun Fat

it doesn't matter who you are, dual wielding in SR is something that is very niche

And its a really cool fucking niche.

Multiple Attacks are alright for the following skills, assuming you have a good pool:
>Pistols
>Throwing Weapons
You can attack the same guy multiple times with throwing weapons which is really fucking good. If you catch him off-guard just throw 6 knives in his face and watch him die.

Not the art but the setting itself
With stuff like Knowledge Infusion, BTL, Simrigs, Datajacks, Skillsofts and CFD, Shadowrun is a step away from achieving Remember Me levels of tech.
Imagine brainhacking that actually makes sense, people selling of their own skills or research facilities filled with copies of the same researcher. Why extract target when you can steal their memories. New megacorp with the function of creating backups for the world. Actually good metaplot that is cyberpunk without going Eclipse Phase transhumanism.

Ares Alpha-chan
Grenades are awesome and that one time I preedged and got 12 nets hits on FA burst still keep me hard.

Okay so I'd say you would be comfortable with an pool of 18.
Get shrink for both guns and take brand loyalty, both would give you +3 for each gun.
So for two targets you would have 9+3 dice, which is very okay.
Also become ambidextrous

>Actually good metaplot that is cyberpunk without going Eclipse Phase transhumanism.
One day sweet prince, one day...

Meant to say smart link for both guns.

Why would you ever prioritize stats over money when augments exist?

>AGI 6 (if human)
>Pistols 6
>specialization+2
>smartlink +2
>improved skill+however many you want
You can pump pools right the fuck up as an adept.

Don't forget the reflex recorder and muscle toner 1 when we are already using ware.

I really should use the reflex recorder more.

Improved Ability is limited to half the ranks you have in said skill.

This said a bit of Muscle Toner combined to the Agility Boost power will let you get up to 10 AGI when it matters at will, so you're looking at a comfortable dicepool of 24-25 before modifiers.

Tactical Grapple Gun.
Shoot someone in the face with an articulated fist for 9S -2AV, grab them with said fist, reel them back in, and then punch them in the face some more with your real fists.
There is no run where it can not find some sort of use.

*teleports behind you*

>9 actions
Fucking how?

>Fucking how?
literally shown in the image

maximum is 10 if you give gobbet haste IV and you get lucky

A scrapbuilt super squirt filled with napalm and fire mages that is prone to catastrophic exploding is not a military flamethrower. You are honestly fucking retarded.

Remington 950. Most GMs don't question a 4R gun until you drop 12P -8AP at 1300m with 18 dice.

ok it's
3
haste +1
cram +2
jazz +1
wired reflexes +1
kill from racing fulmination +1

so 9

also i am the first person ever to build a throwing weapons specialist

Muh Thunderbolt. She kicks like a mule and is sexy as fuck. Its a pain she doesnt have real stats in 5th yet but proxying a guardian is a half assed fix.

in hong kong

Omae wa mou Shindeiru

...

how difficult is it to get into this game from 0 with the only available experience of rpgs being 5th edition dnd?

It's kind of a brainless game once you know it.

There's a lot of rules but none of them are particularly hard, and you don't need to know most of them depending on what you play (ie. a Streetsam doesn't need to know how Decking and Magic work)
I don't think it's very hard to get into.

Does anyone have stats for Cannabis as a drug? Homebrew is acceptable for my purposes.

My group keeps treating deepweed like it's just future-weed. I'd like to give them a more appropriate drug to represent what they want.

give them novacoke, it's a MAN'S drug

>not Kamikaze
What a pussy

kamikaze isn't a recreational drug
>A psychedelic hallucinogen, zen is popular amongthose looking to escape reality or seeking trance-like states.
hey zen's pretty much weed

>kamikaze isn't a recreational drug
>he doesnt slam that shit every morning like coffee
Super pussy.

>kamikaze isn't a recreational drug
for you, maybe
you pussy

Since deepweed contains nicotine as well as alot of thc, it's very much future ganja.

>The repeated use of kamikaze has a destructive effect on the user’s metabolism. Large doses can cause excitement, tremors, momentary euphoria, and dilated pupils. Excess doses (bordering on overdose level) cause anxiety, hallucinations, and uncontrolled muscular movements. Even higher dosages lead to death.
how come you get to shitpost like this but i can't say that tasers should work with electronic warfare

>Zeiss (ag chemie)
>Less of an innovator and more of a trendsetter, this A-corporation has consistently fared well in the cyberoptics and media-related augmentation market otherwise dominated by
megacorp giants. Its designs invariably have a unique flare and are both stylish and functional. Zeiss also boasts a number of strategic alliances with other corporations and functions as a specialized research consultant company for numerous smaller companies dabbling in its areas of expertise.
william gibson should fucking sue

Psychedelics are a step above cannabis. Weed doesn't make you trip.
I'd give it a minor WIL bonus, minor REA penalty, moderate penalty to remember details observed while under the influence. It's not much different than having a drink, and really isn't something you use to get a stat edge. It's good for morale.

because taking it despite knowing the effects means not being a pussy afraid of death
And I still don't understand what connection tasers have to EWAR and why you'd be allowed to use it

Not a single proof, reference or personal statement in your argument.
You argue on a pre-school level with saying "nu-uh", just with more words.

Hey mi dawg yuh nuh fi knock sum'ady fi nuh having di srength to tek a hit pon sup'm as crazy as Kamikaze sum people just aren't cut out fi stuff as strong as dat just like sum people nuh ave a stomach fi murda eff wi let things as likkle as dis divide wi Babylon wins

>Weed doesn't make you trip.
maybe it's really good weed
because it's electronic and you use it in warfare

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_warfare

>Kamikaze is a tailored combat stimulant.

So a laser pistol is e-war ?
Time to chill with the nerds.

>because it's electronic and you use it in warfare
that's like saying that Automatics can be used for driving as long as it's not manual

ELECTRONIC WARFARE
(LOGIC)
Electronic Warfare is the basis of military signals intelligence. It governs the encoding, disruption, spoofing, and
decoding of communication systems. Providing the user
has the proper equipment, the skill can be used to manipulate or even take over the signal of any item’s communication system. See Using Electronic Warfare, p. 226.

>that's like saying that Automatics can be used for driving as long as it's not manual
or it's like saying that kamikaze is a recreational drug

>that's like saying that Automatics can be used for driving as long as it's not manual
Oh shit maybe my GM will let me get away with that if it makes him laugh.

ask him if you could get some Used WR3 while you're at it

why's that wrong?
>Recreational drug use is the use of a psychoactive drug to induce an altered state of consciousness for pleasure, by modifying the perceptions, feelings, and emotions of the user. [...]Recreational drugs include alcohol (as found in beer, wine, and distilled spirits); cannabis and hashish; nicotine (tobacco); caffeine (coffee and black tea); and the controlled substances listed as illegal drugs in the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961) and the Convention on Psychotropic Substances (1971) of the United Nations. What controlled substances are considered illegal drugs varies by country, but usually includes methamphetamines, heroin, cocaine, and club drugs.

>Recreational drug use is the use of a psychoactive drug to induce an altered state of consciousness for pleasure
ok you can use basically anything as a recreational drug then

yea, people do. That glue you're huffing counts.

Nani!?!?

Jesus Christ
How autistic can you people get

...

I've always loved the Cyberbright aesthetic
Mirror's Edge is also great for that

Kamikaze is basically K-10 for pussies, proof me wrong.

Hey Chummers, working on a Vodou mage Dwarf, anyone got any runner name suggestions?

>That glue you're huffing counts
rude
toussaint is the most famous haitian midget i can thing of, he was literally the black napoleon

you can of course never go wrong with samedi

I'm looking to get into shadowrun, but I'm not sure where to start. So far I've looked into 4e, but it feels like a chore to read through everything because there's so much intermingling between fluff and crunch, and honestly it's formatted like fried asshole.

Do you have any preferences as far as editions go? Are there any alternative resources that have the rules in a slightly more readable format?

i'm pretty sure that everyone here uses 5e

>because there's so much intermingling between fluff and crunch, and honestly it's formatted like fried asshole.
if you hate that, then you'll loathe 5e
2e if you want old-school SR with decks the size of skateboards and wires everywhere
4e/5e if you want newer, wireless SR

No. The rules for it specifically disallow that.

Maybe Anarchy?

5e has the Superbook, with rules from the core/most (but not all) splats separated from fluff and reorganized into a reference document. In the pastebin.

And Morphine is a painkiller.
Yet, people use it recreationally.
I guarantee you there are a few people who take Kamikaze for fun and don't live to see their 25th birthday.
