O.K. time to talk about my flamer. The stats were writen at 11:00 pm
Israel time (Middle east, chummers), and I barely took notice of a few
"errors" that some of have pointed out. If you may, decrease conceal to 3,
or NA with tank. Do this only if you are refering to those big tanks that
are carried as a backpack. If you do this, increase weight by 2,and make
the price for a refill at something like 1000. Also increase the ammo
capacity to 40 turns of stream. Oh, word to the wise: I'd coat the gun
with that highly processed stuff that raises the mages target number to 10
(Is this Dikote? I just can't remember).That will insure your character
that he will enjoy the weapon more then his magickally adepted enemy.
Another thing you could do is increase the range to short: 0-3,medium:
4-6, long: 7-8, extreme:9. This will turn it to a flamer cannon sutible
for mounting on cars, bikes, and trolls. You could increase damage to M9
at short to long, and M7 at extreme. For those who hated my gadget, and
think I really stink as a game supplement writer, write me a message
before you forget all your really good arguments. I can't remember who was
the one that said that I don't use the <enter> key, well that's got a very
boring explaination, that if it was posted along with the rest, you'd
probably complain. so, Well, here is the explaination: Well, since using
the Internet requires a phone call and the price of a beat...<After
several hours>...which would explain my problem. Already asleep? O.K. New
weapon:Cryo-gun. similar to my flamer, (which has adapted the name
"Bubba"), this weapon shoots a stream of liquid nitrogen. Stats: Same as
my flamer ( sorry if that explaination stinks for me being lasy at 10:49
PM), but has different damage, and cost. Damage: special* Cost: 2000 for
the gun,
700 for refill. * the damage goes like this: After being hit by the
stream the character takes a L9 (remember the full auto thing), resisted
by impact. Every additional turn, the character suffers L9 from the
exposure to the cold.A mercyless GM would rule that the character suffers
from 9S stun each odd turn or so, but I guess it's only me. Last note
before I fall asleep: E-Mail me your opinions,and comment! P.S. The
weirdo who thought of this Freezing gun was a guy named Gil Bahat. I
worked the stats and general idea by myself. The player that wants to
invent weapons (see the Thread called "Characters (or Players) as
weaponsmiths")is the insanely angry and prone to frenzy Alon Pener. Yes,
you can call this a disclaimer. Till next,

You said something about an hour long explaination as to why you CAN'T USE
the ENTER key?

Please...
If the explaination is that it doesn't work (and that's the only excuse I
can think of) then use the space bar.

Anything but endless lines!

If you're worried about the phone bill, then compose the message off line
and squirt it down the line when you've finished, but PLEASE, use the ENTER
key!

That was me...

Now, if you'll excuse me, I still don't see why that means you can't put
in paragraphs... From what was explained to me by an Israeli friend,
your phone company only charges a one-time connection cost per call (at
least, outside office hours), no matter how long you remain connected.
That, BTW, made me wish for a similar thing here... But seeing that this
is going off-topic by a large margin, I'll stop now :)

> Already asleep?

No, just awake, really :)
