I was having fun with my Character Theme.

Street Barbarian.

He doesn't even Work Out!

The Enhanced Accuracy for Blades should also be figured into the combat knight's Accuracy too.

Again with the half-breeds.  These don't exist in Shadowrun.  This is either an Ork Poser or a Human-Looking Ork.

It's mentioned in the sheet the Half-Ork is actually just a Human-Looking Ork.

Hard to get anything past you!  You don't miss a thing.

I know that.

I wanted to make Giant Human, but they didn't have those, so I made Giant Ork (Human Looking)

If you were an eight foot tall Human built like a Tank wouldn't you wonder if you were maybe part Ork?..

For Few characters I've made, I take poser Flaw, but do it a little different. Like one character thinks because He is so good looking he must be part elf, and insists he has some Elf blood.

In the sheet it's listed, sure.  But in the title of the thread it says "Half-Ork Barbarian".  Since Half-Ork isn't a thing, it's a little misleading.  I'm just suggesting that Bush keeps his archetype titles in-world.

SR doesn't have barbarians either. It's an obvious reference to D&D. Let's calm down and learn to take a joke.

A) please don't pretend to know me.
B) I understand a joke.
C) when the archetypes that don't really fall into Shadowrun numbered more than 6...  it kind of stopped being a joke.

You start with 4 points of notoriety not 3 (add 1 for criminal sin).

Having a "half-ork barbarian" in Shadowrun isn't much of a joke. Me (as GM) making a grizzly bear barbarian for a D&D4 campaign and naming it a "barbearian" is a way better one. Heck, even me making a Gnome Barbarian in a Pathfinder campaign because we don't have to optimize to keep up is a better one.

Ok so i don't know the OP or any of the posters. I wasn't trying to single anyone out, if it seems that way i apologize for that. All i was saying is it seems to me the OP isn't trying to make a serious character and was trying to ahare something lighthearted. If it is that then we should take it that way.

And i would like to point out the concept of a running gag, the more d&d references he, the OP, puts in a character on a shadowrun forum, the more it should be taken as a joke. Just my 2 ¥. Now if i'm totally off base i'll just go ahead and apologize now.

Jesus who cares what he names the archetypes.  This is a level of pedantry that sincerely amazes me.
