Thanks.

2019-08-10 23:17:06 UTC  

Shadowrun is fun..

2019-08-10 23:30:53 UTC  

Hmmm, hey, @Hexidecimark , what was that quality you mentioned earlier that let's me swap Str for Cha as basis for Intimidation checks?

2019-08-10 23:31:24 UTC  

Gm's word

2019-08-10 23:31:35 UTC  

Ah.

2019-08-10 23:31:39 UTC  

gotcha.

2019-08-10 23:31:47 UTC  

How much Karma do Martial Arts Styles cost?

2019-08-10 23:32:57 UTC  

Technically these are the rules for intimidation

I would say that you'd normally get a +5 with CHA and may or may not find that worth more than an STR base

2019-08-10 23:34:25 UTC  

Styles cost the same as any skill specialization

2019-08-10 23:39:18 UTC  

*Grumbles about Catacysums editing*

2019-08-10 23:39:24 UTC  

How much do skill specilizations cost?

2019-08-10 23:41:05 UTC  

@MS It is, it's just that character generation is a hurdle.

2019-08-10 23:42:59 UTC  

"At character creation, a specialization costs 1 skill
point.

2019-08-10 23:42:59 UTC  

Anyone up for coop in the new vermentide 2 dlc?

2019-08-10 23:45:04 UTC  

Char-gen is the best part though

2019-08-10 23:45:24 UTC  

You haven't seen convolouted character system until you've played HERO System/Champions

2019-08-10 23:47:32 UTC  

Once you get 5e's chargen down it becomes an absolute dream

2019-08-10 23:47:52 UTC  

It's just that the book is so poorly put together that getting it down is hard

2019-08-10 23:48:20 UTC  

Huh. I though Martial Arts Styles were paid with Karma. Alright then.

So, in that case, I've got Longarms 6, Close Combat Unarmed 4, Intimidation 5, Exotic Weapon Lasso 3, Etiquette 4, Perception 4, Sneaking 1, Armorer 3. And that would leave 1 skill rank left for my flavorful Way Of The Cowboy Style.

2019-08-10 23:48:38 UTC  

Yeah you need to flip back and forth throughout the book, Long-arms is good for tactical shit, but no handgun?

2019-08-10 23:49:32 UTC  

You can buy anything with karma or skill points

2019-08-10 23:49:34 UTC  

And I've played Hero System/Champions once before many years ago. It was fun but character gen was a bit of a nightmare.


I'm not using a hand gun. She's a Minotaur. Who has 2 Drum Fed Street Sweeper Style Shotguns wtih short barrels, that she duel weilds as if they were Cowboy Revolvers. (they'd still be covered via Longarm Skill though.)

2019-08-10 23:49:52 UTC  

Buying things with karma in chargen is a waste unless you have EVERYTHING you want

2019-08-10 23:50:07 UTC  

Alright.

2019-08-10 23:50:13 UTC  

OR if they can ONLY be purchased with karma or in chargen itself

2019-08-10 23:50:19 UTC  

Does that skill spred look good?

2019-08-10 23:50:54 UTC  

Also, Adept Ways/Mentor Spirits/Inititation/Submersion are all things I can pick up after character gen, right?

2019-08-10 23:50:59 UTC  

GMing it is a pain though, I never got the hang of SRs differant layers, I.e the mage shit, the computer systems too

2019-08-10 23:51:06 UTC  

Seems p decent to me

2019-08-10 23:51:19 UTC  

Submersion is technomancers

2019-08-10 23:51:35 UTC  

Ah, ok, but the other 3 can be picked up later, right?

2019-08-10 23:53:02 UTC  

Ye

2019-08-10 23:54:25 UTC  

As far as I understand it all of the technomancer stuff is a 1:1 for magic stuff so mentors should work about the same as Paragons

2019-08-10 23:57:26 UTC  

Alright.

2019-08-10 23:57:48 UTC  

I can take up to 25 negative Karma, correct?

2019-08-10 23:58:27 UTC  

Nani?

2019-08-10 23:59:08 UTC  

...

2019-08-10 23:59:16 UTC  

that, hurt my brain a little.

2019-08-10 23:59:42 UTC  

Um, Right. Character generation of insane joke character for Pink Mowhawk Magic Cyberpunk game.
