Anyone with Streetwise 3, Larceny 3, or Firearms at 3 can get a .38 without money or a roll. Social Merits also interact with Availability. Someone with Resources 4 is assumed to have unlimited cell-phones, frex.

Half of the powers in Demon are free and your point is garbage anyway, as armor blocks damage entirely and the scenario you people posit is not only impossible, but unlikely to happen in the way you describe. A Demon with Armor Plates and a single damage-dealing Modification could easily murder the ...

Good news. Light Revolvers/Pistols suffer no penalty, so a brace of flintlocks isn't better than a Colt Navy. A dude with Firefight 1 and a Colt Navy will probably outdraw a comparable dude with a 500, so that's cool I guess? Bad news. Shotgun Iajitsu is still fucked. Two handers should be ineligibl...

Actually, some pigments are edible, and a few have value as food. You should start an MPSIMS thread about this. We'll be right over.

Where are you getting "reflexive reaction" from? reflexive action: An instinctual task that takes no appreciable time, such as reacting to surprise or noticing something out of the corner of your eye. Performing a reflexive action does not prevent a character from performing another action...

The average dice-pool for an adult human is 3. Please provide stats that model the average first grader.

You're being dumb here. I'm a dude with Quick-Draw and Shoot First. All other stats abstracted. 1.Badguy wins initiative by more than my Firearms, despite the penalty for carrying a weapon. He shoots at me, I reflexively drop on my ass if it's useful in any way. 2.It's my turn now. Nobody is shootin...

Option 1:Versatile Transformation, 1 Aether, activate Armor Plating and Glory and Terror. All of the children go running off in terror and you're left fighting whatever grownups made their Willpower roll. Option 2:Activate Cool Heads Prevail and book it. Option 3:All of those toddlers are mooks. Act...

This is why White Wolf games are terrible: because in order to defend the game from even the simplest of critiques, they resort immediately to bald face lies. White Wolf games cannot be defended on their actual merits, so fans simply make shit up. For the record: "defense applies" in pret...

Frank is right about Shotgun Iajitsu . You can take a Reflexive action at any point, and so, RAW, you can draw instantly, dodge initiative penalties and holster after your turn is over, unless your Defense doesn't apply or there's something somewhere saying that you can only do If there was another...

I stopped playing SR in 2ed. Is the Soviet Union still around?(I kid.)

That said, a Binging of "Shadowrun Pro Bono" has offered up zilch. Did they ever offer any options for Pink Mohawk games like they said they would? :tongue:

I really don't see what the problem is. If people want to pay for other people to go to GenCon and run demos, it's their money.
