This started as just a Rules Buster, now its much more. I have a couple variations of this idea, one is like the Meteor char Medicineman posted, another is an elf with Longarms and a tricked out sniper rifle. Death From Above in so many ways. Also an idea for a guy who just really likes jumping. He will show up from time to time right out of the blue to mess with my runners, then jump away. Lol. Imagine some runners sneaking up on thier target, only to have Jumper fall from the sky in front of them, laughing hysterically, just to say "Hello". Then jump off again. I'm thinking he would have to be some sort of corp experiment gone very wrong.

@Joe Napalm
Imagine a Troll Pitfighter(weight 300 Kilos) with Raptorlegs, 17Dice for Jumping,Hydraulic Jacks Lvl 5,M.A.Maneuver All Out Attack (+ Finishing Move).
Calculate all Boni from Reach, heightened Position,charge,all out attack, STR 11 Raptorlegs & Sangre Y Aceiro Lvl 2
(Base Damage 7 or 9 K)
Thats "Meteor" (aka Death from Above). I'm playing him right now in Gostcartells (he has Late Awakening and I hope its gonna be Adept or mystical Adept).His favorite tactic is to jump on Enemies

with a Dance from Above
Medicineman

That is awesome. *Grin*

I hope he doesn't do this in wood frame buildings.

Heh...nice.

Reminds me of a crazy guy I had in my CP2020 campaign. It was a VERY dark, gritty game...to keep the players from getting too overwhelmed by the constant dogging they received, I threw in the occasional tension breaker.

This one was a "Prime Runner" sort who was quite mad - thought he was a super hero. Had inherited enough money to make good on it with Cyber and training (very Batman-esque), and would show up, occasionally. Even pulled their chestnuts out of the fire a time or two.

Serious bat situation in the belfry, though.

would an attacker targeting the jumping char possibly get a negative attack modifier? someone jumping around like some mexican jumping bean on steroids just must be awefully confusing. random jumping might not help attacking but i think it would make it really hard for hitting someone fleeing like that.
also now i imagine a troll with an oversized pogo-stick in a gunfight -.-

[Stahlseele]

Have 2 LMG's mounted parallel to the pogo stick and fire down on people while jumping overhead.

You guys gave me a great idea for my already wacked out stack of characters. hehe Thank you ^_^

Max Distance(horizontally)= Agility 12, +6 Hydrauls, +5 Great Leap,= 23 x 1.5= 34.5 x 1.2 (hydrauls)= 41.4 (round up) = 41 meters max distance.

Remember it's +120%, so that's Agl + great leap x1.5 and then x2.2 =  meters max.

So, if you can swing 12 Agl + 5 great leap then that's a max distance of 56 meters.

Working with Agility 10 +9 skill +2 spec +5 leap +6 legs +2 raptor +3 Synthcardium +1 Enhanced Articulation you can get 38 dice.  Average 13 hits +8 hits on reroll for 21 total.  There are a few more gymnastic boosters out there, but none as economical.  Still, a 42 meter jump is retarded.

[Stahlseele]

No, it is NOT retarded.
People need to stop saying something is retarded and then turning right around and defending the use of magic . .
WHY is it more retarded to have somebody who combines tech and magic to JUMP 50m when a mage can FLY?
People these days . .

I think he meant retarded as in "Hehehe that is RETARDED"

[Kontact]

Yeah, meaning so much that it's into the territory of 'why bother?'

Like, "A 60 oz soda?  That's stupid big.  Way to go 7-11.  That Big Gulp is retarded."

[JimJungle]

"Why Bother" Just because.

[CitizenJoe]

Hydraulic jacks in arms = Dhalsim from Street Fighter

[Halancar]

And now you know why the Shadowrun NBA bans cyberlegs

A basketball court is only 28m long, after all...

[All4BigGuns]

It's 64 oz. and personally, I think it's AWESOME.  Fill one of those bad boys with Mt. Dew and no ice and you're good for about an hour.
