Just informing, fellows. I'll be out of contact and without Internet access until wednesday, so if by any chance the game start before this date, I will not be able to post.

StarManta, can I still change my character contacts? Now that I look at the sheet, there's no way Danielle Loyalty to be so low. It must be 6.

Yeah, go ahead, just send me the update as soon as you can.

Alright. We'll probably start the game when you get back, then.

Hate to do this myself...

I may not have stable daily internet for a couple of weeks, as I'm moving to a more stable, permanent location (yay getting an apartment). I'll do my best though.

[IrregularS]

I'll have a bit of difficulty next weekend as I'll be out camping overnight on Saturday, but I'll do my damnedest to insure I'm in front of a computer long enough to post.

BTW MRSI stands for Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact. Its amazing for any kind of indirect fire. Also, what happened to "missions safe" characters? Am I the only one limiting my access to just the books allowed for missions characters?

Okay guys, can we get some dice counts? Because I'm having all kinds of trouble making a well rounded character with more than 12 dice in more than one skill...

[TheCommanders]

Depends, what kind of character are you trying to make?

It was more "Missions safe unless you ask first".

Listing some dice pools is a good idea. Let's do a couple of those.

I usually make ridiculously powerful mages, this time I havn't.

[Deliverator]

Well would I be able to take a Way to reduce my power costs according to Critias'(I think thats him) unofficial errata?

[Chrona]

My mage J is sent in. He's not all that powerful and hasn't run before. (Average 6-9 dice on skills)

[IrregularS]

Common Dice Pools:
Perception: Visual 9, Hearing 6, Matrix 9 (11), Other 6
Infiltration: 2, 9 with controlled drone
Hacking: 4 + CF (Exploit 6) = 10 (12)
Registering: 10 [11 for Machine sprites]*
Compiling: 10 (12) [11 (13) for Machine sprites]
Threading: 12 (14)
Fade Resistance: 11
Pilot Aircraft: 9 (11)
Pilot Anthroform: 10 (12)
Pilot Groundcraft: 7 (9)
Gunnery (ballistics): 16 (18)
*I assume that Registering does not get the +2 Hot Sim bonus due to Hot Sim only applying to "Matrix Actions" and Registering takes place in VR meditation, which does not seem to be in the Matrix, or at least does not have to be. Could I get clarification on this?

First number is normal, second in parenthesis is with Hot Sim bonus. All pools assume Remote Control: Control Device actions where possible.

Edit: Suddenly realized my Matrix Perception die pool was wrong. It has been corrected.

This would be a good general-clarification question to pose to the Rules forum. I would guess no.

Note that technomancers are always hotsimming when in VR.

I was differentiating it just in case I was working in AR. Better to assume the lower is the base and then up it (forgetting a couple of dice here and there), rather than assuming it starts at its maximum value and lowering it for when it's necessary (and thus having times when it's a couple of dice too big). Better safe than sorry.

Good news everybody!

I have found internet to leech off of. Hopefully it will work enough for posts until I get legit nets. Also hoping Ways are available, so I can purchase it later.

God I am terrible at making characters. I get way too wrapped up in wanting EVERYTHING ... because well, being good at lots of stuff is way more fun than being amazing at one thing. I end up running out of points after putting together my stats and two skills lol.
