None, of course. But he does have 20 body. Or was it higher? I can't seem
to find my copy of him around... Nevertheless, bring on the manabolt. I'll
take my PAC to the party and we'll see who passes out first.

Your starting out samurai weren't the TT or the GBD. How many samurai you
know that can throw 30 dice into their attack roll at the start? GBD can.
That's gonna hurt. And bad.

He's got 4 locks (minimum) and has spent less than 100K on his weapons and
foci... hmmm.

Sure have, but is your starting mage's barrier spell powerful enough to
handle a PAC?

Mine are 1 million nuyen monsters. I'll go first with GBD for certain,
there's only a decent chance of TT going first.

Experienced in karma, but not in combat. You need better samurai like I
need better mages (but no GM in his right mind will let me play a mage).
