I will be using the following house rules for this game.

House Rule 1: When a physical attack succeeds but the dv does not exceed the defenedors armor, half the damage will be converted to stun damage and you roll your normal damage resistance to resist the stun.
I.E. You have a 14 ballistic armor they hit you but only do 9 damage this means that you will have to resist 4 stun damage with your normal damage resistance pool.

House Rule 2: No Technomancers

House Rule 3: Matrix has crashed and is barely useable. Do not expect any matrix obstacles.

== Description ==
An average looking lad of polish descent, he grew up in the slightly more civilised outskirts of the barrens.
Attending a basic state school, he got enough of an education that he could crack on in life but lived near enough to the slums that he learned how to survive on the streets.
He'd always been an allrounder at school, and this has carried with him throughout life. His background prevented him from anything but the most menial corp job and after several years slaving away after leaving school, Davy approached him with a better offer. His versatile skillset started to earn him cash, enough to get a decent gaff and a decent set of wheels.
He tends to be called on for a wheelman, but can fast talk, B&E and fight when the needs takes him.

Are we resisting that on top of the normal damage we take?

Hi Ivan,

I check your character and I think she and my character are very nice complement each other. Maybe (but its depends on you 100%) becouse you have a lot of powerful contact you should take more points for social skills instead of technical. But I like her in her current form. :)

And you have 3 IP instead of 2, but I bet you already know that.

== Description ==
Your parents were poor, but conservative Japanese enough that they weren't proud to give birth to an elf. Luckily, their disap-pointment didn't last forever. They took a fierce pride in you when you defended them and the family honor in the alleys and shadows of your Puyallup neighborhood, and eventually the Kenran-kai took notice. Your natural talents were nurtured and honed to the razor's edge by the Yakuza syndicate, and augmentation soon followed. You have since earned the right to work freelance, and you do so with every bit of cunning you possess. You are the best and you know it, blessed with a metatype that lends itself well to your fighting style, and you serve as an elegant reminder and warning that street samurai can operate smoothly and silently.

You have 3 IP without any drug. Move by wire 2 got you +2 IP, and +4 REA. With Jazz you will have 4 IP.

I only use MBW 1. That's +1 IP, 2 Reaction, and 1 Dodge, along with Skillwires.

It's cheaper, and I didn't want to waste the quality to get the MBW 2.

@Ivan The stun damage rule only comes into play when the attack fails to breach the armor. The normal rule is that an attack that succedes in hitting but the damage value is lower than the armor the damage is converted 100% to stun.  I.E i hit you with 12DV and your armor is 16, my attack does not break your armor but is instead converted to 12 stun damage that is normally non resistable. I felt that was kind of broken so I wrote my house rule for it.

@Cram Even if he had Wired Reflexes Rating 2 a hit of Jazz would be non effective in increasing his IP because wired reflexes benefits cannot be stacked with any technological or biological enhancements.

@Checkmate;

With the written exception of Reaction Enhancers, the MBW/Wired Reflexes don't stack with other Initiative based augmentations (synaptic booster). Does Jazz really count as a biological enhancer? I figured it was chemical induced.

@Crazy Ivan You can gain the additional reaction and dodge from it but you cannot gain additional IP. Nothing that grants additional IP can stack except for the stated exceptions. I count drugs as biological.
