Ooh, boy, interesting situation. Modifiers for this is a bit tricky but...+1 for holding a weapon, +2 for outnumbering him, -1 for obvious lie, -3 for KE hostility, -1 for catching you off guard, -1 for result being bad for him
Roll me an ((Intimidation test (4): Intimidation + CHA[Social], -3 modifier))

Good luck.

LOL some nice ideas there, but ill need more nuyen for them!

I think i will need to make a con or leadership test for that stunt im trying, also what are the benefits of using edge? does it gives dice and rule of six or only allow you to bypass the limits?

[BestTeaMaker]

Unfortunately, I'm ruling this as an Intimidation test, you're going to have to default on this. It probably wasn't the best idea to immediately threaten the KE before you knew what exactly they were after.

Edge basically allows your to manipulate the dice. You can spend an edge to re-roll any missed hits, so if you roll 6 dice and get 3 hits, using edge allows you to reroll the other 3 dice. Edge can also be used to remove limits as well as reduce fading/drain.

Trying to plan my next move... Edit File requires only 1 mark (which I have on at least one KE agent). Could I edit the image of the elf to throw off the other KE officers? It says one Edit File action is enough to change one detail of an image... turning the image into a human or changing the hair color to blonde or something would at least give us some plausible deniability.

If not, I'll just settle for bricking the KE officer's comm/deck. Because F the poh-poh, right?

As this is an active skill do my Tailored Pheromones count?

Well i rolled withouth Tailored Pheromones Just in Case it didn't and i got two nice hits!

((Intimidation test (4): Intimidation 0 + CHA 8[Social 11], -3 modifier)) Defaulting (CHA = 7 - 3 = 4) (4d6.hits(5) [3,3,6,6] =2)

Ok so i use Edge (is it edge temporary or permanent in this case?) to reroll those 2 failed hits and will also add the 3 dice i did not used on the first test thanks to my cute tailored pheromones for a total of 5 Dice!

Edge to reroll 2 Dice from the Intimidation roll and 3 dice from the Tailored Pheromones not used before for a total of 5 dice. (5d6.hits(5) [4,2,4,5,1]=1)

Still only 3 hits! O WOE IS ME! XD

@Bewildebeast
That could work, although remember that the KE outside has examined the picture. Although, the other 2 haven't...

@Wrong
Your edge is the amount you're allowed to use each session. They regain after a night's sleep or in between sessions, whichever happens. However, there are some situations where you're edge won't regen, and there are even chances where you have to permanently lose an Edge.

Attempting a Blast Out of hands Called Shot on the Cop's weapon.


@Wrong: It would have been quite funny to see the Cop just give up and rise his hand! However, I think the Tailored Pheromones may not work on him due to the possible distance (I'm not sure how close to the car he is now). The Pheromones description states that people affected need to be at a comfortable conversation distance, able to smell you.
Nevertheless, I think just pointing the gun at him would be just the distraction needed for the Frenchman.

 @BestTEaMaker:
Unrelated question: Does the Bone Lacing counts toward calculating the Physical Limit and Damage Resistance Boxes? I didn't do it on my Character Sheet, but noticed Cross's has it. I'm unclear as to which one is correct.

I just want to say, you guys are awesome.

Why so Jack? Not that i am arguing, however i do love Obi action! That some strangely natural teamwork for Shadowrun, quite amazing in fact!

Alright, Pepperface is doing a LOT of stuff in this post. Because he's a decker, and the Matrix is lightning-fast, I decided to play things a few moves ahead. If I seriously botch any rolls, or if the GM decides he's going to interrupt the string of actions, I'll happily rewrite/retcon. Just trying to avoid the classic problem of "game grinds to a halt while the hacker does hackery stuff." Here's his actions, in order:

Swaps out Encryption for Edit on his deck (Edit gives +2 to Data Processing for Edit actions)
Attempts an Edit File action to change the KE pic from red-haired elf to blonde-haired elf.
Attempts a Spoof Command action to send the bogus picture to as many KE officers as possible.
Attempts a Hack-on-the-Fly action to get another mark on the KE guy's device.
Attempts another Hack-on-the-Fly action to get another mark, for a total of three.
Attempts to reformat the poor SOB's device.
Attempts to reboot the poor sucker's device.

Like I said... a lot of actions. Let me know if I'm out of line. But with that said, let's take this decker out on the open highway and see what he can really do. YEE-HAH!

Edit File: Logic ( + Computer (5) - 2 (Running Silent) = (11d6.hits(5)=5)
The Edit program brings Data Processing up to 5 for this particular test, so all 5 hits count. Good start!
Spoof Command: Hacking (6) + Intuition (4) - 2 (Running Silent) = (8d6.hits(5)=1)
Yeesh. One hit is not nearly enough. Let's spend a point of Edge (first Edge expenditure of the game!?) to reroll those 7 failures, shall we?
Rerolling Failures: 7 Dice = (7d6.hits(5) =2)
Two additional hits brings that up to a respectable 3 hits! Ah, well, I thought spoofing the (probably) faked picture to the poh-poh was a clever plan, but it may not prove necessary. Let's see if we can brick this sucker's device.
Hack-on-the-Fly: Logic ( + Hacking (6) + Codeslinger (2) - Running Silent (2) = (14d6.hits(5)=4)
Not terrible. Here's another:
Hack-on-the-Fly: Logic ( + Hacking (6) + Codeslinger (2) - Running Silent (2) = (14d6.hits(5) =2)
Bluh! Ugh! Embarassing for a hacker of Pepperface's caliber! Let's keep a happy thought and hope Mr. KE botches his defense roll. Here's the all-important Format/Reboot combo:
Format Device: Logic ( + Computer (5) - 2 (Running Silent) = (11d6.hits(5)=5)
There's a nice big-boy roll. And the grand finale...
Reboot Device: Logic ( + Computer (5) - 2 (Running Silent) = (11d6.hits(5)=8)
Oh, beautiful roll, where have you been all my life? This is sadly limited to 3 hits due to my poor allocation of Data Processing.

Thoughts:
Computer is super important.
Data Processing is way more important than I thought it would be.

Well, the game grinding to a halt due to hackerism is less of a problem in PbP
Also well done on the rolls, what did you sacrifice to the dice gods?

[JackVII]

It was totally intended as a compliment. Balls to the Walls. Now you HAVE to paint a Tir flag on the roof of the car (assuming you survive the scene, LOL).

Pepperface and Cross


I made Pepperface skinny but the more baggy clothes make him look a bit bigger.

Thats amazing obi! I will take my hat off for you!
