Unlike many of the other (recreational / backyard-chemist) drugs, Jazz is actually a purpose-designed combat stimulant. It was made for Lone Star to try and allow beat cops to match pace with a 'wired street samurai, even if only briefly.

Siegkrow posted:I once read that magic in the awakened world is defined by belief. It doesn't matter WHAt you believe in, as long as you DO believe in it, and gave an exaple of someone throwing fireballs in the name of mickey mouse. That can totally happen. The mickeymancer would have a harder time than someone following in the steps of an established tradition and benefiting from the experience of mages before them, but it'd still be magic. There's one Tradition that firmly denies that 'magic' exists at all and insists it's all psychic powers which everyone else is just misinterpreting. Other mages tend to laugh at them a lot.

wiegieman posted:Mostly they buy body parts from cyberclinics and chop shops like the one we first met Dresden in, but later on they just start cloning human tissue wholesale. Cloned meat doesn't work. What ghouls are actually being nourished by is the residual Essence remaining in the dead flesh, and if it wasn't an actual living human then it never had any Essence to begin with.

Only people who are jacked in. Which, in this game, never corresponds to someone physically present in the fight. Sometimes there are control points for industrial machinery etc that allows you to do stuff to people in the physical world. (In later editions you can use wireless connectivity to gently caress up people's weapons and cyberware)

If you pay Docwagon enough money then they'll continuously monitor your vitals and if they drop below a certain level an armoured VTOL will crash through the roof and haul you off for medical reconstruction. The cheaper plans just have a pull-tab on the bracelet to summon a regular ambulance. Which you'll have to pay for.

Cthulhu Dreams posted:The writing about doc wagon is super inconsistent - not in the least because it's not super consistent what is corporate land The AAA corps have extraterritoriality - a Renraku site for example is sovereign Renraku territory where their own laws and nobody else's apply. Docwagon won't go in without permission because that could cause a corp war, which nobody wants. Lesser corps don't enjoy this and their properties are still governed by the laws of the nation they're in. If Docwagon knocks down the wall of a Stuffer Shack then they're only breaking UCAS laws and who cares about them? (Corporate black sites might not be registered for extraterritoriality even if they qualify for it, because they're trying to fly under the radar and don't like appearing on registers)

You can totally do this BTW. It'll generally take more than one shaman to get results worth talking about, but not leaving ritual links lying around is good operational hygiene.

Note that while you can't have two of the same drone model, you could have both Crow and Murphy if you wanted to max out on the murder at the expense of support.

Keeshhound posted:Even that works to a degree, specifically if you use it as a global warming analogy (because of course the megcorps are going to do something to aggravate the situation by researching too recklessly), but it needs to be treated as an avertable catastrophe so that the plucky band of misfits can set things right by blowing up the right suit for a proper punk ending. It being an inevitable thing does gently caress the setting though, because if everyone's going to die anyway then there's not much point to resisting the rampant excesses of power-mad capitalists. Technology has never been this advanced before, nor populations this large. It's just possible that metahumanity might be able to deal with the emergent Horrors by shooting them right in the face.

I assume some people in the slums raise rabbits/chickens/nutria on scraps, so real meat wouldn't be entirely unknown. (of course a wageslave would turn green at the thought of eating that.)

Kanfy posted:We're not quite done in this room yet as this busted-looking LAN rack, which somehow got riddled with bullet holes even though no fighting of any kind took place in this room, has something of interest for us.

Glazius posted:Well, no. The mage still makes the fireballs. So, yeah, they can still shoot fireballs at you if they want to punch through the building in the process, but all the magic that doesn't shoot physical things from the mage to you can still get dropped on you. If they wanted to manifest a fireball in their hand then throw it at you they'd only need line-of-sight to their hand. Being able to see you with their own eyes means they can put magic on your directly.

wiegieman posted:A lot of them eat the hive guys, so there's no reason for them to show up anywhere else. But the bugs are always trying to make inroads, and every corp is sweeping hard to try and keep them out. Some are doing better than others. Ares Macrotechnology in particular has gone full X-COM and sends combat teams to the metaplanes to burn hives and gather samples.
