Well, once again, I must contribute. I think one of my friends PCs has
beaten anyone on the list. He created a new form of death ... a
"Squints" death. Not only did he create this form of death, but the
character, henceforth called Super Squints, attained this feat three
times in one game!!! And we define one game as one six hour session of
gaming!!!
First, I think I shall outline Super Squints. This was a Troll with a
Body of 14, and who wore a combined armor of 10/8!!! (This was when we
used the layered armor rule; I forget which sourcebook they got it
from...)
So Super Squints started the game in a bar. For some reason, I believe
it was because he ended up in a Humanis bar, he ended up taking
something like seven full auto bursts to the chest. The end result, one
box of overdamage away from permanent death. So then, all the PCs took a
trip to Quebec to complete their run. They ran into a little bit of
difficulty and ended up having a nice chase through Quebec city. Well,
Super Squints ran over a puddle of water, failed his bike roll, and
crashed into a building at 135 kph. Result: one box of overdamage away
from permanent death.
Then, after they got away, they found that they had to meet their
Johnson to deliver the goods in the Aztlan desert. They tried to run the
border. Once again, Squints got shot a lot, and went one box of
overdamage away from permanent death.I wonder if anyone else has
witnessed this.
