The only thing i see 4 (or 6 which you can do) hands doing for you is RP factor.....

You can't by the rules (and I find no augs/magic to fix this) use more than 2 to fight with and then only if the fighting action is considered simple.

I so wanted to build Six Shooter from the Puppet Master Movies (yes he can fire all 6 at once)

Elf. You know the pic of the biker bitch elf in one of the core books (I have no clue what edition we own)? Like that. And mod the living daylights out of myself until I looked drow because they just look so much cooler (monochrome + red accents = my thing). Turning my skin black and my hair white doesn't really seem that hard for this setting. XD

Augmentation: Page 63: Cosmetic Bioware: Skin Pigmentation and Bio-Tattoos: $1,500:   In part "Metahuman skin can be altered to take on a wide range of colors,-- from pitch black to bright red to bone white."

There's your drow skin. 

Augmentation: Page 62: Cosmetic Bioware: Hair growth: $500: In part "The texture, color and thickness of the hair can be chosen in advance , allowing for a wide range of options, -- from a long green mane, to a nice coat of leg fur so the user can wear shorts in winter."

If they can give you a long green mane. They can do extra long chalk white to go with your drow skin.

There's your drow. About $2,000.... less than one tax return and you're who you want to be.

"Awww but I was born a human, or an Orc! No drow for me"

Not so!

Augmentation: Page 62: Metatype Reassignment: $25,000: In part "Any elf, human, or orc can have his body sculpted to resemble an elf human or orc."


This is all bioware. It's not cyber. So you BECOME what you pay for. (( granted becoming another metatype doesn't give you the benifits of that metatype)) So you appear to actually be what you've paid for.

So.. for the price of a mid priced car. $27,000 an ugly ol skraggy hairy orc can be turned into the beautiful Drow he or she always wanted to be.

if you start off an elf. You can hit Drow for 2,000. Very easily easily done.

Yeah, but comes as a real surprise to your spouse, later on, when your kids come out with tusks...

That's nothing. Imagine how surprised YOU'LL be when that same kid looks suspiciously like your ork mailman...

[The_Gun_Nut]

Wait.  There are mailmen left in 2072?

Hey, first draft of that post said 'milkman'. Better chance of mailmen than milkmen.

Oh the tiiiiimes, they are a-changin'...

I WOULD BE A TROLL BECAUSE TROLLS WOULD HAVE LOUD VOICES AND THEN I'D HAVE A REASON TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS!!! 

Just remember.  Big guys make big targets.

We also tend to squish the little guys pretty effectively. Holy wood movies be damned. When the 5 foot guy gets in a fight with the 6'3" guy... 8 times out of 10 the 6'3" guy wins. 1 time the little guy's got a gun and the last time.. well. Dumb luck does factor.

Or the little guy is Jackie Chan. Ouch time...

Jet Lee Maybe. Jackie Chan is 56. He's impressive. But I'm not going to run from him and if i'm a troll. I'd just palm his face and squeese.

There's nothing stopping you from attacking with six guns, except the fact that splitting your pool six ways meant you most likely miss all of those attacs.

Also i was talking more about real life when i said there have been countless of times when a pair of extra hand would have come in handy.

Then explain Keifer Sutherland. I haven't been that terrified of a midget since my ex and I broke up.

[The_Gun_Nut]

All other things being equal, the larger person in the fight has a much better chance of winning.  It takes a significant difference in skill for the smaller person to come out on top.

That doesn't mean they can't win, just that they are not likely.  Anyone who tells you different is selling something.

By the rules of Shadowrun your wrong you can't have more than 2 simple attacks per initiative pass so your other 2 (4) arms are useless

Keifer is 5'9" while not towering he's not exactly a midget either. He's right in the meaty portion of average human height.
