hey im creating a rigger (he doesn't run in person only through his drones) but have never played an rpg on a forum...ive played shadowrun though.  how do die rolls work?

[fazzamar]

Only through his drones huh? Even when it's not a combat situation?

Die rolls will be done through http://invisiblecastle.com/.

[gargamel]

it would depend on how well other characters get to know him.  he's untrusting and socially awkward

[Redwulfe]

since you don't want Min/Maxed characters is it alright if I just take the covert Ops specialist out of the book(SR4a) with a few mods to equipment?

[fazzamar]

Red: Sure, but I thought you were going to make an B&E w/ a bit of magic?

Gargamel: There's a couple different ways we can start the game out, we could say that all of you guys have been running together for a little while there by skipping the whole distrust stage that comes with new shadowrunners getting together. Or, you guys can all meet for the first time at the meet with the Johnson. I'll leave it open for discussion on which you guys want to do.

[Redwulfe]

Yea but I tend to Min/Max a character this guarantees that it won't be.

[fazzamar]

Hah, make something up, if it's too much for me to stand, I'll let you know. I'm mainly trying to avoid Trolls that can, in one pass, destroy a tank or dragon with a kick, and the practically invincible (except against aforementioned troll) possession mage with an ally spirit builds, and the pornomancer builds, although we have a social adept already that I let through that has a 16 die negotiation pool. So just throw it at me and I'll let you know if it's too much.

Actually it is worse than 16 dice. It is 18 dice with cool resolve. I was capping my dice at 15 dice for my primary role. I will correct that.

[Redwulfe]

Ok, I just finish the character and am cleaning up the format. He is a covert Ops B&E specialist with a bit of Hacking throne in though it is not his best ability, He mainly uses it for those hard to get to data or locks. I will send shortly.

I'm missing 2 die then. I got Charisma 6, Influence Group 4, Kinesics 3, Cool Resolve 3.

[gargamel]

argh!   it's been too long since i played this game.  creating a good rigger is giving me a major headache and has taken all day.  i'm thinking about going for an altered version of something out of the book too.  in fact im strongly considerin a straightup street sam since my rustiness on the rules won't bog me down too much.  any thoughts?

improved sense [enhanced pheromone Receptors]. Cool Resolve for opposing social tests. like someone is trying to seduce you or con you.

[fazzamar]

Ah, I missed the Improved Sense [enhanced pheromone receptors] benefit. So you mentioned you're going to make some changes to bring it down to 15 dice for opposed social tests?

[Triggvi]

Yes, I was intending to have her limited to 15 dice for social tests at start up. Have you started a character thread yet?

[fazzamar]

Not yet, but I will....
