Hey, Fearless Leader or Assistant or Flunkies (...or Bull),

Shouldn't you guys give Mamoulian some kind of award for being the
first list member to actually *play* a dwarf (& then admit it to all of
us)??!! Sort of an "anti-thwapp" -thingie?
</Admin>

Now i'm wrintin'

Hey guys, the first character i've played was the infamous "dwarf
with FN-HAR" archetype . Just in case, hav you guys ever noticed that
there isn't an "Troll with Ingram" or "Orc with HEMs" in the basic
sourcebook?
Here in Brazil we don't have access to all the sourcebooks available,
so the dwarf was kinda cool to play with, till we discovered the
"real" coolness of the Trolls & Orcs.

Well, another comments:
('bout munchkinness)
You guys could please say if i'm wrong...
Is it REALLY possible to make an sorcery adept character, with
Resources A , Magic B, Skill C, Attribute D, Race E.
Spend then 1mega nuyen in focus and 50 force points with focus and
spells. And create and 3d6 initiative, essence full, 10 dice stun
bolt, with invisibility at will, 1 grade initiated etc etc etc?
My players don't have this kind of dream, but i was thinking about
it, and it's kinda very very much nastier than the average starting
character, isn't it?
- note: sorcery adepts cannot astral project, this can suck the
fraggin' focus, but just try to forget this for a while.
(The sorcery adept monster can have an conjurer adept monster as a
friend....)

('bout internet shadow magazines)

I've heard something that interested me. An Amazonian Free State
article is being developed . If somebody has info on it, please
e-mail me.

('bout cycles)

Does an armored BMW Blitzen can strike down a SuperKombi III, just
because the SuperKombi III was not armored nor driven by a Rigger?
Maybe the Ram rules could need some extra research....

('bout drones) (and munchkiness)

I once needed an efficient area killing machine. So i picked an old
HER, dissassembled it, and installed the explosive device in the
"cargo hold " of a Dalmatian drone. (not exactly a Dalmatian, but a
cheaper version with 1CF cargo created by the GM).
Well, i've created an 20K nuyen bomb. Expensive, but quite
efficient, since it kamikazed exactly on target...
What 'bout this?

('bout the list)

Please, if you are still reading this, and if you are serious
thinking about replyin' , please, think twice. Don't reply unless
you really have something interesting to say. People tend to repeat
themselves when answerin msgs.

('bout my English)
It sucks

('bout the autogreet)

Why should i ask about woodchucks??

If a woodchuck could chuck wood, how much wood could a
woodchuck chuck?

Almost possible, but not quite. Force Points aren't Karma points, so you
couldn't initiate, but apart from that you can create a character like
this. And I wouldn't call it munchkinous, since the other stats will be
rather lousy (Attributes D...?) and their foci will be wide open to
attacks from the astral plane.

Are you referring to the SRII rules or the rules in the new Rigger 2 book?

And they also come up with things the original poster and other repliers
hadn't thought of.

You _shoudln't_ ask about the woodchucks! And I know you've been naughty
and did it anyway, so at least a thwap may be in order. However, I won't
do it because I don'thave the time right now...
