that is a Crossbow and not a bow and that is already in there as you said yourself The difference between a crossbow and a normal bow is that a crossbow is held by a mechanism that releases the bow based on the pull of a trigger. The implanted cross bow is just that, the string is in the arm and is...

Well, from what I've got from him he basically imagined something like this, inlaid into the arm and popping out and unfolding when you want to shoot

My name is Trill. Mod of Mods: Look on my works and laugh.

One of my players asked me recently about a bunch of things and whether I could implement them. So I want to let you look over them and say what is okay and what not: Most of them are archery related because of his character (a bow-using Street Samurai) Collapsible/Folding Bow : The one in Arsenal t...

Is there a way to salvage Mystic Adepts?
Because from what I've heard they are a trap option that leave you as a shitty Mage and shitty Adept.

Fuck you. Fuck you fuck you fuck you you fucking fucks. THIS ENTIRE GODDAMN BOOK, YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT TRY TO SUCK ALL THE FUN OUT OF THE ARCHMAGE EXPERIENCE. YOU DO NOT GET TO TELL US TO HAVE FUN NOW. YOU TWATWAFFLES. AH, don't you know? You have to earn your fun. Only if you manage to get th...

And they certainly aren't stopping there. You haven't lived until you've heard a college-educated person deride someone as "anti-science" and then without a smidgen of self-awareness turn around and gab about how they're using the crystal prescriptions of ancient Hindu mysticism to help a...

That's why I like to use karma only for character advancement, nuyens are only here for fluff purchases or possibly for one-time boosts. How do you deal with Players that need Nuyen to advance (Street Samurai with their Augments, Hackers with their programs and commlinks, Riggers with their Vehicle...

I've been wondering: How much should Initiating cost? Because I've seen many times in 5e discussions that the gap between mundanes and awakened is so big because Awakened can initiate early and often, quickly outpacing mundanes with their metamagics and increased limits while mundanes can barely scr...

Since nobody is saying anything about different attacks, what about a stun program? Advantage is that you can disable someone for a long time without killing them (currently you are limited to either kill them or temporarily disable them) Disadvantage is that this is an additional program, with its ...

1) Can different critters use Powers on the same target at once? If yes: 2) Can different critters use the same Power on the same target at once? If yes: 3) Can two critters use Movement on the same target at once? Do their multipliers add or multiply? (E.g. F5 Spirit and F4 Spirit: Is the final mu...

That's definitely SR4 In EotM the difference between Cold and Hot is whether you can add the biofeedback filtration to your soak pool, not what type the damage is. So if in Cold AR/VR you'd soak with WIL+Biofeedback, which is WIL+FIRE+Redundant Biofeedback filter, so normally WIL+FIRE+SYS Then in Ho...

Well AFAIK there are three ways to do Damage for a hacker 1) Black Hammer. You roll LOG/RES +Cybercombat, limited by Rating, against the enemy FIRE. The enemy then has to resist Rating+(net hits) in Physical Damage with WIL+Biofeedback. This damage is always Physical. 2) Crash. Same as in 1) but the...

Is there a way to deal Stun damage through matrix combat?

So does that mean that Sprinting and using Movement commute? That it makes no difference whether I first sprint and then use movement or first use movement and then sprint?

When you are using Levitate and have a spirit use movement on you, does it increase your flying speed? So e.g. you are a Magician with MAG 5, a Spellcasting pool of 15 and summon a spirit with F5 is your flying speed then 5(Due to MAG 5)*4(average net hits on the Levitate test)*5(Force of the spirit...

Okay, so a retransmitter on their desk and maybe a optical port

Maybe I've missed it, maybe it's not there: What exactly qualifies something to be an entry point to a server? Random commlinks lying around? Retransmitters in the corner? Special access points? Basically: If I and my team enter a corp office, and the hacker wants to enter the server to steal data/g...

Maybe a OSSR of 1e/2e/3e SR? Since we have an "Drunk Review: SR 5e" I think it may be interesting to go over one of the Old-School SR Corebooks and see how they have held up, maybe with explanations of the history behind it. I at least would be interested in it.

Do metas live forever unless killed? Because if they have normal lifespans their life will end in a bunker or in the desert (depending on what happens).
Or is it just trauma/poison/whatever else induced brain death not natural one that causes that destructive side effect?

Astrally Projecting mages can't materialize, only manifest If a purely astral form such as a spirit or an astrally project- ing magician wishes to interact with the physical plane, she must manifest. Manifesting is the opposite of astral perception—the extending of the senses onto the physical plane...

When a mage manifests, can he cast physical spells on things?

Since it appears to have killed the thread, here's a comparison: Case 1: TM VR is like normal VR, where icons are not indicating where they are in real space. The only difference to normal VR is that every Icon they see can be affected by C Range CFs and that they can float from one server to anothe...

When a TM goes into VR, is the topology he operates on that of normal VR or the normal world? If he goes into VR, does he see stuff in their RL positions but as icons, or does he see the icons you normally would see? Because you can't determine the real life position of icons from their displayed po...

Can't really provide a play example, but I'll try to generally answer them A technomancer wants to infiltrate a saeder-krupp network to get specs on a new combat drone. There's a corporate hacker who is prepared to stop intruders should one try to enter the network. Also the network (or system? not ...

Your brain isn't balanced out like a normal brain, so it's harder to "get a lock" on the spots to target. See, this makes me think that maybe we have two different ideas about how Sensory Deprivation works. Because AFAIK it says If net hits are achieved, the subject is blinded and complet...
