I'm sorry I don't agree. The stupidest one is the first one in the body
bag. please don't flame.

I have a chrome king (with 4d6 +19 initiative. Soon to be 20) and only
once have I went down. My GM thought it would be funny to put me up against
3 cyborgs with shotguns and apds. ( surprise I shot one twice with 12
successes and it still wouldn't go down.) This would have been fine but I
had only 1 clip in a HP and no armor. i took a deadly of course TN12 and
8 successes to counter. I only have 8 body.

The point is just because you are fast, doesn't mean you are stupid. Delays
are wonderous things. You can still move 1/2 quickness.


I also have a mage with 1d6+1 initiative so i know what it is like to be at
bothe ends of the speed spectrum. Force 7 exclusive physical barrier.

Please e-mail me a copy of your best characters. I need them for a run.
