So how does nephritic screen work in relation to drug durations.

I know it reduces the duration by its rating in increments relative to the drug. So 12-body hours would reduce it by a further 6 hours. But how does it work with 10 x 1d6 minutes? Does it reduce the duration by 6 minutes or does it reduce it by 60 minutes? I'm confused and it came up.

So a few threads ago we all agreed that I should give the technomancer in my team one more warning not to ever infringe upon my player agency again by putting a sprite into my streetsam and using it as a threat, and then kill the character if they do it again anyways. Game night is tonight, so my question is this: if they do it again, how long should I wait before killing them?
>>
>>51738278
Unit is minutes, so 6 minutes.

A Street doc putting his medical skills and expertise into 'preventative' practice. The sort of dude getting high off their own designer combat drugs and wading into combat with scalpel blades for claws under thick choking clouds of toxins (Hopefully less lethal) that they mixed together. All that anatomical knowledge goes a long way when you know the right way to knick tendons and cut into ware just the right way to render it useless.
>>
>>51738314
Sprite should be gone, and more importantly, prepare some shit that doesn't give him time to react or act against it.

Keep in mind, the Techno might be some kind of fuckface ordering your arm to shoot you in the head after you say this.
So, make it clear to communicate to your GM at the start of the session that the wireless of your limbs an guns is turned offline until you explicitely say you turn it on. Also take a knife with you, so you have an unhackable weapon.

When/if you have to kill him, use something he can't hack.
I'll again propose you use the Ultimax 70. Should be enough to kill him an the basic gun has NO WIRELESS CAPABILITIES so he can't hack it.
>>
>>51738484
Eh, I'll stick with my machete, I've got better DV and AP with it (did I mention the bastard is wearing Executive Suit? I've got 12 bloody armor to work through!). Also, if I can catch him trying to put a sprite in before he actually does it, I think I'll just nail him with my AK-97.
>>
>>51738579
You could always use military-grade explosives. Can't hack a block of explosive plastic.

Or use grenades. I wanna see the chucklefuck try hacking phosphorus grenades flying at him.
>>
>>51738601
Its all fun until he does hack the WP nades flying at him and throws them back.
>>
>>51738601
Sadly, I have no explosives and the only grenades I have on hand are 4 flashbangs and 1 tear gas grenade. Although, the technomancer has a shitty body score, no gas mask or respirator and no means of visual compensation, so watching him choke on tear gas right before I end him might be fun.
>>
>>51738601
To risky, except if you disable the wireless before.

>>51738579
Ah, what a fucker.
Which one of you two has higher Edge?
If you have more than him, use one to go first. Even if he does the same he is one done AND will still have to roll which you should probably win.

Safest route (but expensive) would be Spend 1 Edge to seize the initiative, then burn one point of Edge to get the breaktrough option (4 guaranteed net successes) on an APDS Attack with your AK-97. This should put enough of a dent into him that you can be safe that you should be able to put him down.

Depending on how his standing among your teammates is, you might also want to be carefull with them being around.

Please keep us updated.
>>
>>51738713
Oh, tear gas sounds like an excellent idea. Chuck it into his home at night and ambush him when he comes out.
>>
>>51738715
>then burn one point of Edge to get the breaktrough option (4 guaranteed net successes) on an APDS Attack with your AK-97.
Hardly necessary. I've got enough recoil compensation to fire full-auto all willy-nilly and I somehow doubt he has more than 9 dice to dodge.
>>
>>51738765
Anon theres no kill like overkill
>>
>>51738866
Yeah, but I've only got 2 edge, I'm not burning one just to put down a snot-nosed technomancer.
>>
>>51738068
my personal rule is that were all family on the run. There will be no arguing, being bitter or going after each other. Blow your heads after the run or papa street sam will lay you down faster than firewatch soldier on a leave would lay down an elven whore with 9 charisma.

How terrible is it for a mage to burn 1 essence on bioware in 5th edition? Will it make a big impact on casting ability?

I want to get a sleep regulator for fluff reasons, haven't decided what to spend the rest of the essence point on. But I don't want to cripple my casting. Tradition is Shinto if that has any impact on what implants are good.

get yourself a Alphaware Arm of God. 0.1 ESS from the sleep regulator, 0.8 ESS from the arm

It already is the most important thing. Besides, you still have to split the dice pool to do some damage and that isn't always the smartest choice.

Currently playing a manipulation focused mage in 5e. After this run I should have enough spare karma for maybe 3 or 4 spells. What are some good manipulation ones to increase my helpfulness in combat? Also any other good manipulation spells I should get.
I want them to be Manip because I have 18 dice to them, and 12 to other types of spell.

Current list of manipulation spells is:
>Armor
>Control Actions
>Glue Strip
>Ice Sheet
>Influence
>Levitate
>Physical Barrier
>Rewind

Planning on grabbing Control Thoughts and Control Emotions for some serious psy-ops shit (gonna try turn people into sleeper agents), and Shapechange because it seems super versatile.

IIRC, Gorillas are extinct outside of clones. I have a dream of playing an Awakened Sapient Gorilla Combat Sorcerer.
>>
I hate GM special snowflake characters that can't be harmed for reasons. I sometimes want to punch our GM for being too theatrical and bending the rules so he can put on a pre-planned scene (you got to talk to these other runners to reveal crucial info so the players shouldn't be allowed to actually kill them), because this takes away from the players' autonomy and makes you feel like a puppet in a play. But overall he's a good GM otherwise.
>>
>>51739691
The stats for chimps are in Howling Shadows, and for gorillas, probably the same statline as chimps but with higher Body and Strength.
>>
In the Praxis ending fiction of Artifacts UNbound, Aina brings in a random immortal human with her right before she does that huge blood magic fate bond thing. Any ideas on who? I'm personally guessing it was the last Governor of the Theran Empire, or a member of the Trismagestus without his ears, but I've got no real evidence.

Well, I know what I'm running for my next character. Shapechange or Critter Form into a chimp, quicken the spell with a decent amount of karma (to protect from dispelling), hide the quickening with extended masking (I think), then just go to town. Learn Levitate too so you can do saiyan flight.
>>
>>51739900
It worked every time he didn't want it to. Like clockwork.
>>
>>51739892
Bravo would be the worst face. He has a handsome face, a muscular body and yet he went the entire series without getting any action.
>>
>>51739912
So what you're saying is he has the social equivalent of Gremlins.
>>
>>51739912
>Like clockwork.
Au contraire, flirting NEVER works for Clockwork
>>
>>51739855
Nah, an Agropelter is weaker than a chimp. A Black Annis would be a more accurate statline.
>>
>>51740075
I was just going to use the troll statblock minus dermal armor. And horns.
>>
>>51740122
The bear statblock would work as well, minus sense of smell and claws.

Okay, so how could an adept turn himself into a gorilla so that he can go literally apeshit on his opponents?

I remember someone posted a set of condensed 5e rules that went beyond the quick start rules but wasn't as convoluted as the 5e core rulebook, anyone got that PDF?

I don't want to go through stories and fluff because I already know that shit by heart, but I need a quick and clean way to check out all the rules needed to GM properly.

Currently working on a neat but almost definitely underpowered character idea I had. Basically an aspected magician Alchemist/Rigger that acts as the team's support unit. The idea is to have her use her preperations to heal, armor, and generally support the team while her drones are used to scout and deliver alchemical payloads to ambush and trap enemies. I'm almost certain this will be a terrible build, but fuck it I'm mainly just making this for fun.

Currently I'm trying to find interesting ways to combine the mobility of drones with the versatility of magic. Like having a microdrone deliver a fireball preparation into an enclosed area to assassinate a target, or using levitate to vault a target up into the air then having a drone snatch him and propel him to a retrieval zone.

Any ideas on what kind of weird combinations I could pull with this setup?
>>
>>51739933

>>
>>51740248
This sounds like one of those builds that's going to be underpowered on a pure number basis, but potentially insane if you roleplay it correctly.

Try loading up microdrones with AoE illusion spells like Chaotic World, sneaking them into the building you're infiltrating, and syncing them to activate the illusion simultaneously to either aid in infiltration or exfiltration as needed. Or go full space station 13 and come up with interesting mixes of conventional explosives and whichever elemental attack spell you can find - i'm sure you can think of a way to deliver, say, electrified toxic gas.
>>
>>51740220
Way of the Beast Adept who follows the Bear mentor spirit can perform a ritual to transform into a bear, I think it's locked behind an initiation.

>>51740663
Would a Gorilla Mentor Spirit be more or less just like the Bear Mentor Spirit?
>>
>>51740425
Been flipping through different books to find really situational spells that might have new uses when combined with drones. Recorded room is pretty great. Slip a drone into a building, activate the preparation, get a perfect readout of the entire room that isn't limited by LoS.

Pulse also has neat applications. Slip a drone into a research lab or computer mainframe, then crash all of their expensive shit. If you don't have a hacker and you aren't on a stealth run you could use this to completely destroy their surveillance system by slipping it into the security office.

Is it possible to jurry-rig up a magical getaway vehicle? Like, cast levitate on a skateboard to make it hover, then attach thrusters and an engine to its underside to make a hoverboard. I can see a magic rigger making impossible vehicles with this idea.

I follow two steps. First I flip through the books to find something I like that I want to build a character around. For >>51740975, it was Grapple Hands (I may or may not have also been watching Spider-Man 2 at the time). I make sure to get at least 12 dice in whatever gimmick I've picked.

Then I grab one of the big PACKs. Thank goodness Chummer has included some custom PACKs like the Runnerhub one so it's not always the same, but each one has the basic gear to survive, then I feel free to get whatever I want without forgetting anything important.

There's really only so many ways you can do priority or distribute skills, and the gear customization isn't as in-depth as it was in SR4, plus there's just not as many interesting or actually viable qualities.

Mechanic: Everyone has 5 tokens to start. They give a token to another player when they concede a point in an argument. They can also spend a token during play to tell a flashback story about how the world follows their worldview (this story can and probably should include other player's characters).

Player with the most tokens at the end wins.

Shadowrun may not lock you into "Classes" but there are more trap options/builds than actual ones. This is only made worse by the 8/10/12 system that /srg/ always goes off about. Don't even get me started on the literal necessity for initiative boosters for any character expected to swing a sword or fire a weapon or the Void-Black Trenchcoast mindset of everybody who plays this godforsaken game.

I'm a little salty.

Dicepools. After chargen, you're expected to have 12 dice in your main skills, 10 in your secondary, and 8 in your tertiary. For example, a streetsam might have 12 in automatics and blades, 10 in pilot (ground vehicle), and 8 in sneaking and ettiquette (because you always need those). After specializations, of course.

It's not hard, and there's really nothing wrong with it. It's like how you want your main ability in DnD to be 16+.

My problem is that there are so many requisites to making a viable character that the character creation system is moot. There isn't much wiggle room to make a character who is competent in everything /srg/ wants them to be. And if I even try they are just this soulless cookie-cutter humanoid gunmount who is functionally retarded save for pulling a trigger.

KarmaGen favors Generalists, not exceedingly good at any thing, but covering most bases, while Priority/ST10 favor getting your specialty as high as possible, while being only good in your chosen field
As with most things the 12/8/6 rule is a minimum. As long as you have that covered you are free to branch out into whatever else you like

And of course it depends on how many other players there are. If you have to be Mage+Face+Social Infiltrator and your buddy has to be Sammy+Phys. Infiltrator+Getaway driver then you will be spread far more than if you have 5 other runners in your team

The joke is funnier than the backstory, honestly. We were playing a module I found on /tg/ a while ago (Best Razorgirl, I think), and one of the characters had a secretary who appeared as a Zulu elf in AR because her boss was into that, and we just sort of built up a similarly implausible combination of fetishes.

Guy who in the previous thread wanted advice on a burnout adept with full set of cyberlimbs here.

So I pretty much spent the entire day toying around in Chummer and I came to a conclusion that it's absolutely grade A viable, using any generation method.

Although one thing I'm not sure about and this may simply be a preference thing, buying deltaware-and-higher grade of 'were is always better than buying the pseudo-alphawere gear anyway so one has to question the very point of the Burnout's Way.

Throw dice for this like everybody does, to see whether they notice the APC and how they react when the crash is about to happen, giving them a fair chance to avoid it.

Because in Chargen you can only buy up to alpha, making ware less expensive in nuyen and essence.

>>51744022
>deltaware-and-higher grade of 'were is always better
chummer, deltaware is so expensive and rare that even being ABLE to get it is worth an entire death run
>>
>>51744022
Well, some higher grade ware can be very expensive, so it can be a necessary route if you want a fuckton of alphaware and Ressources A is not enough to pay for this.
>>
>>51744070
>>51744091
>>51744099
Yeeeah, there's also the fact that Essence is counted in fractures, so getting higher grade 'were isn't always even worth it, since as an Adept you only care about full value and if you can't cheese it you might as well go for a cheaper option.

Though keep in mind this was me going out of my way to make a character with 4 cyberlimbs for no other reason than fluff.

You could absolutely make a super-viable character with just two pimped out cybar-arms, or even just one God-Hand and play as One Punch Man.
>>
>>51744166
>counted in fractures, so getting higher grade 'were isn't always even worth it
well, technically it is if you want to get more stuff
higher grade means more stuff with a combined essence cost of =<1

Have you tried an alchemist connection ?

sure alchemy is not as strong as spellcasting, but spells that won't be resistet can still be usefull and prepared beforehand and you might want to keep some like a healing item on you at all times.

Physical Barrier can be super usefull as alchemy item, whipping out some solid surface in thin air, and if your talismonger of choice knows what he/she is doing, maybe even some ramps to jump off with a vehicle.

You want something quick when you need it or get every day a little bit and know what you get.

Does this count as a helmet? I'd say it's more of a face, but whatever.

the 8 edge human says more than enough; Unarmed is a perfect choice for an edgelord imo and capoeira is spectacular enough that when you burn 6 points of edge to jump 46 feet off a rooftop and kick through a helicopter it'll sound half realistic. Also, fist bump for >>51745777

Awesome. Very rarely do enemies have full chem seals, so he was great at blocking off entire sections of battle or flushing enemies out of cover with either LTL or lethal gasses.

Using thermals on top of it allowed me to easily pick off high value targets like mages, or get in close quarters with people while remaining concealed.Any badasses with chem seals and thermals I could usually out shoot or flash bang.

My best story with him was when I flooded a 50 long 10 meter wide street outside of my house with Neurostun, knocking out 20 gangers that were after the bounty on my head.

I hand cuffed all of them and brought them into my place so that they could sleep off the stun. When they woke up they were greeted with a ham and cheese sandwich, glass of water, and a pain pill with an ultimatum of "stop trying to kill me or next time you'll be dead." Earned a lot of friends with that one.

Does anyone have some tile sets that I can use on Roll20?

Recently moved over to it due to a few players having to move around a lot, sometimes to other states due to their work so they can't make it to physical sessions.

I know they have some stuff in their library on Roll20 but get fucked if I'm going to drop $6USD on some tiles.

Question: How do enemies work? A player requested that he have one rather than the wanted quality, so rather than random bounty hunters he ends up with his own personal Javert. I'm ok with the idea but can't find rules for it ANYWHERE.
>>
>>51747602
What's the name of the quality?
>>
>>51747632
It's not a quality; in chummer, in your contacts, there's a tab called Enemies. As far as I can tell they're reverse contacts: they have a connection and loyalty (enmity?) raiting, and you gain 1 karma per point of each. He's wanting to trade Wanted for a 6/4 enemy, which evens out as far as karma is concerned.
>>
>>51747698
Enemies are 4thed holdovers. Some people like to use them. Check the older books on how they work, and if you have no problem with them, it's your call.

Enemy isn't in Shadowrun 5, strictly speaking. It was included in Chummer prior to my involvement with it and I never bothered to filter them behind a rule.

Amusingly the Teen Years life module lists it as a quality, so either one of the freelancers uses chummer and thought it was still included, or they just forgot that it's not a rule.

Anyway, they're in Runner's Companion, I believe.

Yeah, found them. I'm having him reduce the incidence rating from 4 to 2, but otherwise I'll allow it. The enemy in question is a mid-level corp exec in Eastern Tiger, so he's gonnna get corpsec all up in his ass.

I always wanted to try to built some version of Inspector Gadget, but picking the Cyberware with a start character makes it such a hassle.

Pretty simple, I played an adept that uses assault rifles and gas grenades.

Essentially I worked as an operator, just grenades first, rifle second. It worked out very, very well.

I was good at sneaking around and setting up traps involving gas weapons as well, so lethal gas was really useful. I started purchasing 20 of Neurostun and Seven-7 after every mission, and stashed them in my house for when I needed them.

I rarely used Seven-7. Eventually I had 200 grenades of Seven-7. I didn't need that much Seven-7. But I had it.

Aw, I was hoping there was some kind of explosive ending to that. Guess that's respectable too.

If he doesn't die, he could go into business. Shadowrunner Surplus.
Just imagine it: racks of dusty armored longcoats, wrist comlinks, barrels stuffed with shitty katanas, an entire floor of black sunglasses, and a suspiciously endless supply of gas grenades.

Okay, so we're playing Third edition, in the year 2061, and the GM doesn't want us to play mages because they're "too powerfull". Now every scenario contains spirits or mages ( they are official missions tho, so that's not on the GM's fault) and it's a real pain in the ass to know if there are magic defenses somewhere. So. What are some good ways to gain astral perception or get around magic security with only mundane characters.

If I'm playing a Possession tradition, can I have a spirit possess my body while I astral project myself and do other shenanigans?
