--- Quote from: Shinobi Killfist on ---I mean if you hate magic you hate magic, but I don't feel adepts are magic run this edition.  Maybe deep deep deep into a campaign they become so. But you'd be a far far better unarmed fighter with ware until you are like 250+ karma in. Now ware+magic still is stupid good.

It's not so much I HATE magic... as I thought it'd be more interesting to not use adept powers. I literally can't remember the last time I saw a Shadowrun martial artist who was NOT an adept.  So... being different is all.

What I HATE is spirits ;)


--- Quote ---Edit to add, tonfa as exotic weapons? I'd roll them under close combat. Are they exotic in a supplement?

Yeah, probably should have been Close Combat but Firing Squad said they were Exotic.  Que sera sera.  Plus, with investment in exotic, the character is easily enough upgradeable if a light-cyber and no-magic martial artist doesn't pull enough weight in a group of more optimized builds.  Give him a MFW and it doesn't matter he's light on cyber and has no magic :D

I've been scouring the rule books and can't find any references to Precise Strikes, Nanoconstruction, Iron Skin or Zapper Coating. Where are they mentioned?

Cool, I'd just add some bone based augment so he hits harder. 4Dv at least gets you into the heavy pistol scale of damage.

as an aside I think its funny Titanium lists the damage change as 4DV, max bone density+2dv because consistency

Ah, 6e, that's why. Nevermind then.

Jazz?  I think you mean Coors Banquet, friend.
