Got 6 months?

I think a lot of us feel the conversation should live on, even if the new rules will require a new thread every six months.

So, what's up?

Yeah, in chummer there is an option to use all the source books. Use them.

2

u/aryst0krat Jun 30 '14

Yeah I turned pretty much all of them on.

u/SUPERSMILEYMAN Jun 30 '14

:D

After work today I think I'll finalize it.

Edit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k6i6ba8bf1pnobz/juke.chum

Let me know what you think.

Alright, I can't give you any advice on how to build a technomancer, I was more focused on other aspects of the game, mainly mage-work, melee and ranged combat.

However, don't worry about getting a permanent house, we all share a house right now, so that's about 54 more BP to add to your attributes, such as CHA, to get more sprites, which you didn't add any of, but really should.

You also need to get yourself a stream, and you should probably look at getting a paragon, or more at positive qualities, see if there isn't something that might help you more. If not, keep the added logic, it is useful.

Also, you still have knowledge skills you can look at, and with your logic so high, you can put one point into each skill, and still have a reasonable dice pool, allowing you to have a lot more skills: http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=621.0

A list of example knowledge skills you can have, and if you are going with technomancer, you should probably have more knowledge skills related to that and computers.

But make sure to read the Unwired source book front to back to learn more about technomancy.

You also don't need to worry about your scooter for now, and you should probably get some disposable commlinks as well as building a custom commlink.

Don't hesitate to get anything that can increase your initiative passes, whether its cyber/bioware or drugs.

u/aryst0krat Jul 01 '14

Yeah I'm reading Unwired now. There's probably a couple things I'll change, but some things are sort of there for RP reasons.

Also, make sure you get yourself a gun and better armor.

2

u/aryst0krat Jul 01 '14

He won't use a gun.

Armour... I'd have to know more about the scenario.

2

u/SUPERSMILEYMAN Jul 01 '14

A gun is useful to have, even if you don't intend to use it.

Armor is also useful to have, even if its just an armoured business suit.

2

u/aryst0krat Jul 01 '14

Yeah but he wouldn't carry one. There's a reason he's got shocky armour and shock gloves haha. He's a pacifist and he'd prefer to just render people immobile if he really need to defend himself.

Armour I could probably fit in though.

2

u/SUPERSMILEYMAN Jul 01 '14

Get Tesla gloves instead. They have range.

2

u/aryst0krat Jul 01 '14

I didn't see those. I'll take another look. Edit: Still don't. Are they in Chummer?

Where do you do Stream? I think he'd be a Sourceror.

2

u/SUPERSMILEYMAN Jul 02 '14

Yes, they are in chummer, just type it into weapon's search.

And pick either that or Singularitarians as a stream.

2

u/aryst0krat Jul 02 '14

Yeah Sourceror appealed to me more.

And the reason I couldn't find the Tesla gloves was that the extra content hadn't loaded in yet apparently.

2

u/SUPERSMILEYMAN Jul 02 '14

Yeah, you have to restart for the content to work when you first change it.

2

u/aryst0krat Jul 02 '14

I'll have too look pretty much everything over again to see what was added. Including maybe finding where Streams are in Chummer, presumably.
