Hey

When I was on the list a year ago, SR2 Companion came out and I asked how
people were faring with the Metahuman Variants. There were lot's of
interesting stories. Now it's a year later and I've been hearing about
Arcady's Fomorian Troll. Anyone else got cool metahuman variant
characters?

Lates,

Yeah, we just started a campaign, and I've got the following in the party.

A Gnome Rat Totemic Physad based off Henry Rollins during his days with
Black Flag.
A Satyr Rigger named "Leadhoof"
A Ghoul Former Fuchi Company Man
and my favorite - my fiancee's Giant Librarian/Porn Star. (She took the day
job flaw, but hasn't decided which one is the day job! ;-)

I recently read the revised SR Companion and now I have two questions:

- Does the ´Koborokuru´ get +2 Body to Deseases / Toxins ?
- Do the ´Night Ones´ get thermographic vision ?

Yes. It says they get the standard dwarf package plus & except for the other
stuff.

> - Do the ´Night Ones´ get thermographic vision ?
No. They only get what's listed. Note this means they don't even have low
light unlike 'Day ones' elves. So the night elves cannot see at night but
the day elves can... go figure... I suspect an errata is needed on that one.

Probably, since the listing in the original Companion stated that they got
all standard racial modifications for elves, with the listed exceptions.
