I mean I've seen some of your websites, and watched a few of you on
IRC - guess I expected a little more open mindedness.
A few of you have a couple misconceptions about me.
Let me address those for you, OK? :)
1) I am sick - Well, yes, I suppose I am. I hereby freely admit it.
2) My "Chunk Launcher" Ninja is NOT a shapeshifter - I KNOW shifters
can't have cyberware, that would be silly. My character has
regeneration by using the Immortaily Flower from the California Free
State book, OK? Lot less powerful, lot harder to get, more expensive,
and more dangerous. It goes along with the sick thing in step 1, OK?
Besides, shifters are truly munchkinous. :) Yes, I realize that using
this weapon very odten would quickly incapacitate me, damage
resistance or no. Did I ever say that this thing fired bursts? Hell
no. It's a SINGLE SHOT weapon, sort of an astral hold-out pistol, OK?
3) Flesh removed from the body is dead - Where'd that idea come from?
Certainly not from Biology. Skin grafts, organ transplants, etc. (All
canon Shadowrun concepts) are certainly alive, and any first year med
student can tell you that tissue removed from the body can remain
viable and alive for quite some time after being torn from a body.
4) Removed flesh has no aura - where'd that come from? Certainly not
any Fasa product I've ever seen. Sounds like you're quoting a house
rule at me. Where an aura comes from has never been plainly stated in
and Shadowrun product, or erratta I've ever seen. (Which is ALL of it.
:)) You wanna make the aura a part of the "conciousness" fine, I say
it's a biological abstraction. You say Shamanic, I say Hermetic. :)
5) I "violated a sacred trust between player and GM by going around
Loche 7's back and posting this to the list" - Hmmm, kinda hard to go
behind his back when he's on this list isn't it? As for this "sacred
trust" thing - I think you and your GM have been seeing too much of
each other.:) Repeat after me "It's only a game, it's only a game" :)
Just re-reading my post, I can't seem to find where I said that I was
going to use list approval to influence my GM. Hmmm that must mean I
wan't doing that, doesn't it. Just wanted a little input, that's all.
6)Physical objects don't damage astral objects - Again, this sounds
like a house rule to me. However, I recognize that Fasa has never been
clear with this, which is why I posted the whole silly thing to the
list in the first place, to get more ideas. We DO exchange ideas on
this list right? Or do we just jump all over anyone who posts them and
make veiled references to Munchkins, and wild guesses about player's
ages (27 by the way, surprised? :))
7)"Range combat cannot do damage to an astral being [though there
might be a few exceptions to this rule they don't matter here].
Hmm, so Distance Strike, Banishing, and Combat Spells, (All ranged
combat) aren't effective against spirits? (Astral beings, in case you
missed it.) Gee, guess I'll have to pull those pages out of my
rulebooks. :)
8) What's a THWAP? It looks like a flame to me. Gee, coming from
Barbie, it looks like fan mail. :) I've seen you on IRC Barbie,
Getting labeled a munchkin from you is a fine compliment, since you
seem to be in the perfect position to judge, being one yourself. Tell
Mr. White I said "Hi!" :) Oh wait, I forgot, ALfredo B. Alves said
you're a "special case" do I need a permit to be one too, or is that
something specifically reserved for your group? :)
Now then, I seem to be fresh out of sarcasm.
I do want to thank those who gave me logical, RULES-based reasons why
this was a bad idea. (Ereskanti comes to mind quickly)
Gee maybe I should post my Suitcase nuke/Anti nuke barrier enchanted
weapon next huh? (That was a joke - thought I should point it out for
the humor impaired among us.)

Oh yeah, what's a "FAB Bat?"
