Subject: R3 Question- Stealing Cars
Date: Sat Oct 20 21:30:01 2001
I'm starting out in a ganger campaign and the PC I'm trying to create- Yay I
actually get to play for once!- is going to make most of his money stealing
cars amd selling them on to the local chop shops. Only problem though is
that I've lent out my copy of R3 and it hasn't been returned- bloody
players, everything would go so much smoother without them. ;) Anyway, could
someone have a quick look in the book and see what sort of skills I'd need
to give him to be a decent car thief? Oh and if anyone else can think of any
other active or knowledge skills that'd be useful or interesting then chip
in.

Cheers.

Let me think.... CAR!
Electronics (So you can get into the things)
Car & Electronics B/R (just in case)
Computer (taking out the transponder chip)

Classic Cars
Limousine Security
Sportscar Security
etc.

While it's not a skill, a rating one or two jammer would be incredibly handy,
since all the Gridguide cameras and other transponders are only rating one.

I made a carjacker a while back, but I can't remember everything I gave him.
Just remember, when in doubt, use a shotgun. It may not be as subtle, but it'll
work.

I was talking with somebody about this. You need the main skill along with
an
electronics or electronics b/r skill as a scondary skill.

(this brought to mind trying to hotwire the sailboat.)

Doesn't that work for B&E's too?
