This topic is now over. Finished, kaput.

Physads are not meant to be equal to sammies. Neither are deckers,
riggers, shamans, three toed sloths, etc.

Get over it.

Sam pulled out his Predator and shot Fred.

"You shot Fred!" Shamus screamed. "You idiot, the whole point of
this was to see who's better in a toe-to-toe fight."

"Hey, if I go toe-to-toe with Fred without my guns he'll kick my
ass," Sam answered. "I'm not stupid enough to take on a physical
adept in hand-to-hand combat."

Shamus reached out and took Sam's gun out of his hands. "There, now
it's a fair fight."

Sam crossed his arms and said smuggly, "You're to late, the fight's
over and I won. Pay up."

Fred's foot slammed into the back of Sam's head and sent Sam
sprawling to the ground, unconscious.

"Nooooo! Nonononono! No!" Shamus screamed. "This was supposed to
be a fair fight! You weren't supposed to attack him from behind."

"But," Fred said "if I didn't sneak up on him he'd shoot me again."

"He couldn't," Shamus replied "I took his gun away from him."

"Oh... But without his guns Sam wouldn't stand a chance." Fred said,
perplexed.

Shamus screamed obscenities as he stalked off down the street.

Sam, who had regained his senses, staggered to his feet.

"Sam, I don't feel so good," Fred said.

"That's cuz I shot you ya mook. Come on, let's get you to the street
Doc," Sam said. "And the next time we see Shamus stay out of my
way."

"Why?" Fred asked.

"Cuz I'm gonna shoot him," Sam replied with a wicked smile.

In the long run physads are better than sammies. Sammies can get only as
much cyberware as their essence. ( I don't know of any GMs who allow PCs
to become cybermancied.) Physads can initiate and initiate and simply
kick ass. Sammies are like a quick beer but physads are like fine wine
which get better with age.

That is my opinion on the subject. I think any wired sammie can take a
starting physad down with a gun but if the physad survives long enough to
initiate, watch out!

Lates,

Dust

Apologies for posting to the topic, Fro. I should have known you'd step in
first. Isn't this particular war... er, discussion listed in the no-no
section of the FAQ?

How are we supposed to know?

<veg>

Go read it, you shouldn't have to ask... (I mean, everyone should know the
answer...)

Tell ya what, write me something amusing as to why to avoid the topic, and
I'll drop it in the TolmWappers Lecture Circuit. (If you aren't a
tolmwapper, well... We'll talk.)
