sans reflex trigger, it occurred to me that adepts don't exactly have
anything to control their enhanced reflexes (i.e, an adept with
improved reflexes + 2 has a +2 to reaction and +2d6 to initiative all
the time). Does this make them any more or less controlled than a
street sam with raw wires or not? Also, improved reflexes aren't
compatible with anything that increases initiative. Does this include
Enhanced Articulation and Reaction Enhancers?
On the physical adept power of hearing amplification: can a physical
adept control how 'loud' things get like the volume control on a radio
or are things always loud for him? Right now I'm making an adept with
hearing amplification, a select sound filter (5), high and
low-frequency hearing, and a sound dampener, but I'm not exactly sure
what the high/low-freq powers would do, nor do I think that sound
dampening would be necessary, not if he can selectively block out
certain background noises.
Random stupid newbie GM questions:
Is the Remington Roomsweeper a Heavy Pistol, a Shotgun, or both? What
skill applies when using one?
What calculating costs for equipment and lifestyle, what is eligible
for dwarf and troll-customization? So far, I've done weapons, armor,
vehicles and lifestyle. Anything else?
How much skill does it take to pop an internal smartlink into a weapon
if you have the appropriate B/R skill? How about customization? How
about improving the performance of a weapon (like boosting the power
level)? Why bother with caseless when you can simply pop on a brass
catcher? How much would a brass catcher cost?
What's the difference between an electronics kit and a microtronics
kit? Can a disguise kit be considered a general tool kit for game
purposes?
If a troll looks through a pair of binoculars with a thermographic
option, does she use her natural thermographic vision modifiers or the
binoculars' artificial thermographic vision modifiers?
Lastly, does anyone have a picture of an Ares Roadmaster? I'm
thinking a big semi with a trailer, but I can't be too certain. How
about a Hyundai Offroader? A Suzuki Watersport? A Ford Americar? I
take it these are in the RBB1, but I can't find that book anywhere.
