So uh... DAMN YOU ROSA! YOU INFECTED ME AND INSPIRED THIS CHARACTER WITH YOUR DIRTY ELVISH WILES!

(Seriously though you DID inspire this character so thanks.)

So is he a viable playable character? I made (Yet again...) a long backstory so ill just say that his reasons for hitting the shadows is he has decided to try and improve his quality of life... and he needs 8000 nuyen by the end of the year to get his gym out of debt. (He is also reasonably well known in the underground boxing circuit so he gets rivals that challenge him every once in a while.)

(I made a thing where he had shock gloves... and... uh... he doesnt need that cyberware license now..
 So uh... yeah... edited...)

Looks fun and well thought out! I especially love the use of tough and targeted as part of the underground boxing backstory.

I did note that I don't think Bone Density actually increases your Body Attribute, just adds dice equal to rating  to your damage resistance tests. So I don' think the character has 8 overflow dice (just 5), and if you calculated your physical limit with 8 body, it's going to be one less.

Can I ask why Logic 4 Willpower 4 instead of Logic 3 Willpower 5? Willpower 5 will give you another stun box (good for a boxer) and help with different kinds of resistance tests. The character doesn't have any logic linked skills and making the change won't effect his mental limit. Just throwing it out there.

Also just double checking (as I forget this all the time), did you include symbiotes cost for your lifestyle price? I think One month of squatting + Rating 2 symbiotes is $1300.  It could make a difference for your available nuyen as you bought a 12 month full lease of lifestyle already.

Also noticed the character doesn't have skills in perception. Perhaps some of the running can shift into perception, as the character's pre-sprint rate is already very fast?

I checked and it does increase body. And it doesnt say on the sheet whether I HAVE to pay at chargen for months of symbiote food but i will... let me make the mods... thanks for pointing out the logic willpower situation.

Done. With edits he looks better. I can't wait to use him!... yeah... well given that the prequel of my campaign hasnt even started yet and my current active campaign is in hiatus I dont think it will be anytime soon...

I guess your don't have to pre-pay for simbiotes, but then just don't forget you have to pay ;-)

Bone Density Augmentation: "Your Body attribute is increased by the bone density Rating for the purpose of damage resistance tests"(Core 459). It'd odd language but I believe it is intended to just modify damage resistance tests, not actually increase the attribute. The pricing indicates this for me, as other bioware that increase attributes (Muscle Toner, Cerebellum Booster, Cerebral Booster, etc) are priced at 30k+ per rating as opposed to 5k for bone density. Is there another place you are getting this from than the core rule book? I could have missed an errata.

Frag! Your right! I misread it! Editing...

Also do the boosts from bone density and the spurs stack? If so I inflict 12dv... holy crap...

While you use the unarmed skill to use spurs, they are technically a weapon, so do not qualify for that bonus. I don't think they do stack, but I am unsure and could definitely be wrong.

I reasoned that Im still punching with a fist. The bone would hit anyway. Unless the armor had some major stopping power...

Nicely classic. Though the wording of your unarmed skill is slightly confusing. I'd write it Unarmed (Implant Weapons) 7(9), but I follow your logic.

Thanks! Im glad he looks good. I was worried I screwed up somewhere down the line because of his lack of multiple skills but I made him to tie to his character in terms of skills and contacts. Im just... really glad he looks good!

Seriously though I spent my entire day off on him. Every part was scrutinzed heavily. So its nice to know it wasnt in vain and it shows.

You are capped at 10 Karma for Karma to Nuyen exchange unless you have Born Rich.
And of Course there's In Debt, but that's a different mechanic.

You don't pre-pick the damage you negate with Damage compensators.

I'm counting 25 Attribute points, Attribute B gives you 20.

I'm Counting 29/2 skills. Skills C gives you 28/2.

Spurs and the assorted Bone augments don't stack.  Bone Density and Striking Callous does.

If you only got the funds for 1 book- Chrome Flesh for Sams, Datatrails for deckers, Rigger 5 for riggers, Street Grimoire for awakened, If you gonna be a jack of all trades kind of character the ware in CRB is fine so go with Run Faster. Not that Run&Gun, Hard Targets etc aren't useful.
Title: Re: Anthony "Trustworthy" Simon, Elf Underground Boxer turned Street Samurai
Post by: Marcus on <01-10-16/1024:07>
Of those I'd skip Street Grimoire, as magic books go you're better off with just the core, as SG doesn't add much and it confuses a lot more, poor alchemy got nerfed by it's own splat book, Hard Target does undo some of the damage done in SG, but if your limited to one I wouldn't advice ether.

If ya like Sams I'd go with ether Chrome or Run and Gun.  R&G is solid imo, and Chrome has a lot of nice industry story to it.

I really like my agile gunslinger adapt. What book would be good for him? Run faster looks nice due to its explantions of the modules...

I'd probably lose a point of LOG for more REA or INT. And I'm not sure your STR is valuable where it is versus lowering it, depending on ware, and putting that into INT/REA.

What quality do you have that lets your Unarmed Combat be 7? 6 is the chargen skill cap.

That's not how it works, because each is a discrete weapon with its own stat block. If Bone Aug was just "add +2/3/4 DV to attacks using the Unarmed ability," they would.

It's a reflex recorder Whisky, and it's my fault he followed my suggested phrasing.

Raider-

Looking at your updated sheet, it looks like your physical limit is down to 5. You are rolling 18 unarmed dice so on average you are going to be getting 6 hits. A limit of 5 is going to have you wasting hits often enough. You can either afford spread skills around more (from unarmed), or, in my opinion, I would try to get your physical limit to 6. Perhaps shifts from Intuition into Reaction won't be too drastic (same inititiative or defense roll), or you may have to pull another point from Logic or Charisma (though your contacts seem important and I wouldn't want to mess up what you have going there) to a physical stat.

Run Faster is very good, and the alternative generation systems are interesting. I don't think it would specifically help you build a better Gun Adept, but then again you may find you prefer modules. I think R&G would be more useful, but that really only comes down to the expanded martial arts rules, and maybe the armor rules.

That is overall a net loss. Both stats feed into initiative, and both feed into defense. But INT plugs into some other valuable skills, most notably Perception.

Don't stress, Whisky means well. It will work out. Combat sense or one of many other options.

I just went into Chummer to mockup your attributes and Cyberware and got this:


== Attributes ==
BOD: 3                            CHA: 3
AGI: 7 (9)                        INT: 4
REA: 3 (5)                        LOG: 2
STR: 4 (6)                        WIL: 5
EDG: 1                           

== Derived Attributes ==
Essence: 1.95                     Initiative:           7 (9) + 3d6
Physical Damage Track: 10         Rigger Init:          9 + 3d6
Stun Damage Track: 11             Astral Init:         
Physical: 7                       Matrix AR Init:       9 + 3d6
Mental: 4                         Matrix VR Cold Init:  3 + DP + 3d6
Social: 5                         Matrix VR Hot Init:   3 + DP + 4d6
Astral: 5


== Cyberware/Bioware ==
Damage Compensators Rating 4
Muscle Augmentation Rating 2
Muscle Toner Rating 2
Orthoskin Rating 3
Platelet Factories
Reflex Recorder (Skill) (Unarmed Combat)
Sleep Regulator
Spurs
Symbiotes Rating 2
Synaptic Booster Rating 2


Character has a very respectable physical limit of 7 with this spread. Doe the attributes look livable to you? If it matters, you can still move a point of Reaction to Logic if you wanted Logic at 3 and to get a mental limit to 5 without affecting the physical limit.

We are just throwing ideas at you. Don't want to stress you out, especially as it gets to be a pain to recalculate everything all the time. I would say though that the character is a boxer who is going to get into fights often enough so the ability to take advantage of your boxing skills to land punches (keeping a high physical limit) is important. The character seems fleshed out and playable - we're just offering ideas to tighten up the build, but if it shifts to a character you don't want, then no worries about our ideas then! Go save your gym!

If you're an underground boxer, you may want to find a way to get your BOD to 5. Maybe decrease WIL to 3 and bump INT and BOD by 1 each.

The big issue with this (and most) game chargen systems is limited build points to create a simulacrum of a whole human being. Underground boxer are going to be study, strong, shrug off pain, be able to anticipate their opponents, have good reflexes, etc. There are going to be deficiency areas, it always happens.

Think about your team role too. What best benefits that?

Had a series of minor suggestions.  Just threw this together in Chummer real quick for you to look over.  Although I'd agree with Whiskey that a higher Body seems likely for the character background. 

Skills, I dislike having a combat focused character without a ranged option, but if you're okay with it drop the pistol skill and pick up more social skills.

The gear is all from PACKS kits so some of the minor details are off for this character, but for 10 min of work in Chummer it's not bad.  Mostly I moved a lot of the Bioware to a higher value, but used Quality and threw a lot of karma at Stats and Edge instead of PQs. 

Your main issue is that you're doing a Combat, Social, melee build and are pulling your stats in several directions.  If you went with more Cyber less Bio you could possibly drop Resources to B and go Stats A.

Had a series of minor suggestions.  Just threw this together in Chummer real quick for you to look over.  Although I'd agree with Whiskey that a higher Body seems likely for the character background. 

Skills, I dislike having a combat focused character without a ranged option, but if you're okay with it drop the pistol skill and pick up more social skills.

The gear is all from PACKS kits so some of the minor details are off for this character, but for 10 min of work in Chummer it's not bad.  Mostly I moved a lot of the Bioware to a higher value, but used Quality and threw a lot of karma at Stats and Edge instead of PQs. 

Your main issue is that you're doing a Combat, Social, melee build and are pulling your stats in several directions.  If you went with more Cyber less Bio you could possibly drop Resources to B and go Stats A.

To stay bioware you'll want to be Resources A, Stats of B, Skills C, Meta D, Magic E.  Standard Elf Samurai really.  If you're comfortable with just one combat skill, unarmed, then you can easily pick up Intimidate or Etiquette.  You could throw 1 point and a specialty at a gun skill, pick up something with a laser sight and maybe shove in a reflex recorder.  You'll have around 15 dice to shoot even with a low skill investment so as a back up weapon it's certainly decent.  Automatics or longarms and do suppression fire or go low profile with pistol.  Your call.

I would skip biocompatibility and natural Athlete, you'll really want to throw Karma at Edge and Stats.  Your stats are going to be spread out, I'd still max out Agility, then you're going to have to make some tough choices.  As far as Backstory goes Body 3 works fine for the lower weight classes, maybe you're a bit on the small side?  It's that or lower Intuition and Reaction, but you're already a touch on the slow side IMO for a combat character. 

The advantage of the all Bioware and punchy guy is that you're perfect for social teams and going places the huge cyber guys don't.  So you really should get some social skills in there.  I think you've got all the pieces, you just have some hard choices as to what you want to prioritize. 

For Bioware I recommend taking as much "Used" quality as possible.  You're going to run out of Nuyen before you run out of Essence.

STRIKING CALLUS
Added to a user’s hands or feet, these are simply thick,
hardy patches of callused skin, altered to be almost as
sturdy as troll dermal deposits, allowing the user to
strike dangerous blows with what are at first glance ordinary
hands and feet. A relatively new development,
they are, as yet, unrestricted weapons.
While sold individually, each pair a user has grants
+1 damage for Unarmed Combat.


This is what my copy of Chrome Flesh has- was there an errata to give them levels and if so, what is the effect?

And how much does it cost in essence and nuyen?

Each pair does +1 Damage to unarmed so you need two to get anything.  4 would be 2 pairs, presumably would be two on the hands and two on the feet, I think is the intent.  I'm prepared to accept other interpretations.  Chummer handles it with levels.  Chummer also takes the RAW reading and stacks +2 Damage on top of the Bone Density.  Total is a 13P right hook. 

Av 2, Essence .05 each, 1000 Nuyen each.
