]I had the Shadowrun third edition and Grimoire second edition in my hands for
]about an hour in order to create a character and learn how to play a game,
RPG
]none the less, and they're a couple of things I would like to ask.
<snip some questions others will answer far better>
]3. How is essence figured out?
You essence starts off at 6, every character, every archetype. Cyberware
decreases it by the amount listed in SR3.
]4. Can I have more than one ally?
I couldn't find anywhere that said you can't. If you want to lose more
karma and magic rating, so be it.
]5. I killed a Juggernat, cut its head off, burnt off the flesh and grafted
the
]skull onto my bike. Now how much armor would that be and also how would the
]handling and speed be affected?
(Is this for real?) Umm...I don't know about handling...it's upped, but by
how much I couldn't say. As for armour, the hardened armour power is
magical in nature, so with the creature dead, you won't get hardened
armour (in my opinion, at least). Maybe a couple impact and 1 ballistic.
]7. Exactly how would I be able too find a critter for my ally to inhabit,
do I
]have to tame a critter, beat it senseless to the point where it lingers above
]death? What critters can I use for my ally to inhabit?
Maybe just confine it? Maybe knock it out? GM call, really. As for
what you can use, any normal critter will do. Just remember, you won't
be able to go many places with your ally if it's an elephant, or polar bear.
]8. Can I give my spirit the skill to drive cars even if it inhabited a hell
]hound?
LOL! Brings to mind the Far Side cartoon..."I swear officer, he's never
off this leash for even a second!"
I say sure, he can drive. But does he have opposable thumbs?
(which brings to mind another Far Side cartoon...I have to get out more)
]9. What is blood shaman? Can I be a blood shaman? And can you give me any
]other information on blood shaman?
No, you may not. Aztlan is the blood shaman book. Sorry, don't
own it.
]10. Can you give me a list of book out and coming out?
Go to http://www.FASA.com , and look around there. A slightly out-of-
date list is at http://www.fasa.com/ProductLists/SRProductList.html and
Gurth just posted a survey that lists them all as well.
]I would greatly appreciate any help or all, and I know it is annoying to
]answer questions like these but I have only played one game, I loved it and I
]already am an addict, and as son as the damned bookstore allows me to order
]these books I'll read up.
Hooray! Another addict! And don't worry about questions. This list
loves answering questions. Answering, and arguing about the answers, and
making up house rules to answer tough questions, and arguing about house
rules, and drifting off-topic until the original thread has nothing to do with
what's currently being discussed...
