Hmm, the dwarf combat mage is running more than double his magic in foci. Might be a problem if GM uses focus addiction rules from Digital Grimoire. Otherwise he's a beast!

Also, thanks Squee!

That's true.  However he's rolling 13 dice and needs only two hits.  The odds are greatly in his favor unless the GM asks for a roll every day or something.

Oh yeah, what's an Overcoat? I noticed it on a few of the characters' gear loadouts but don't recall ever seeing it in print anywhere. What book is it in?

This.

The Trenchcoat (infamous of film noir stories and movies) is a waterproof overcoat with an insulated lining.  The Lined Coat (Which is a "Duster" similar to those seen in Westerns that's found in SR4A's armour section) is also an Overcoat.

I have a Canadian Army Surplus Greatcoat (From the 1960s, I believe) that's very comfortable and surprisingly wind resistant, but prefer my modern nylon winter coat with insulation due to better pockets on the inside.  I also have a Swiss Army Surplus Mountain Greatcoat that I can't even put on unless it's -50 or less outside or else I'll cook in the bloody thing.  Finally, I have a Australian-style Duster that's oilsealed brown leather.

If it's black, synthleather, and they're wearing mirrorshades, taunt them for ripping off The Matrix.  :P

It's Ruthenium coated, so they're actually ripping off Ghost in the Shell.

I thought she had to be naked for that to work.

Or am I thinking of another Anime?  ;D

He's referring to the re-make, I think, which has less nudity in it.

WHO THE HELL THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA???

It's Anime, damnit.  Not made for kids!

...

Everything has to be PC and family friendly now, doesn't it.   >:(

I was actually thinking of the TV series. Which is better than the movie (not that the movie is bad - the series is just better). You should watch it if you haven't already.

Black Lagoon is everything I want SR to be. Unfortunately this is off topic.
