If you want maximum firepower don't go troll. Go Rigger. Nobody else gets to consider a fully-stabilised HMG to be 'light armament'. (I always wanted to play an AI rigger in 4E but never got a chance)

Zark the Damned posted:In 5 the force of the spell set's that spell's limit, so if it's level 1 you can only apply a maximum of 1 success. This is important for spells like Haste where the number of successes you get determines it's effects (iirc in this case every success is +1 initiative and every second one is an extra pass, or something like that). Unless you spend Edge and thus negate the Limit.

The Stallion actually costs more than any of the corebook aircraft except the Bansee. The Venture even lets you get a VTOL for 400k, while the Hound has Armour 16. The biggest advantage of the Stallion appears to be the (non-numerical) inconspicuousness. Edit: Even cheaper than a Wasp would be an Americar with a Rotor secondary system. N49,000 and seats 4 without modification. The Lone Badger fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Dec 29, 2015 |

Damon doesn't want them looking too closely at the run, he wants them to be like "Well, looks like it's in an O'Riley warehouse, let's get that poo poo back, and let's not be too gentle." It's a ransom situation, 'intended' to get leverage on an exec who hasn't been playing ball with the O'Rileys.

In the right circumstances, the right man in the right place can hurt a megacorp. Certainly nothing fatal, but disadvantage it enough in the marketplace that the scavengers start circling. The other corps will do the major work once they smell blood in the water. But "the Megacorp is just too scared of him to retaliate" is just stupid.

If you're using Karmagen for SR5, can you spend some of your starting Karma on an Ally Spirit? Assuming you've Initiated and can create one.

Neon Keyboards but also cellphones. The "living world" bullshit has to go because it's just not good. If you really want to do that release alternate campaign settings like D&D does. To do that they'll need some competent writers and... they're all gone.

Now guys with a Dillon press will be making more money creating non-chipped bullets than any runner could dream of. Your gun has DRM and will refuse to fire anything except Ares-brand Conflict Resolution Pellets. The chip is there to make sure you don't fire expired CRPs that might result in inferior performance of your favourite Ares weapon.
