bob dobbs is dead posted:they dont put you in jail for killin ghouls, they give you a credstick This is very, very true. Many shadowrunner careers begin (and end, messily) with clearing out a ghoul nest.

Keldulas posted:Having now seen Isobel in action, she's basically the primary reason why being a Decker feels pointless. She has custom weapons which always seemed to be strong for any point in the game, and I never encountered problems with her Decking. Is0bel is very good at what she does, yes. There'll be plenty of opportunities to show off just how competent she is, RNG willing.

Kobal2 posted:True starting off, but then he becomes "guy with a rifle with riot slugs that bean people out of cover" and then "guy who catches every grenade and sends them right back". He's really solid mechanically. His Subdue is an instakill on stunned people that never fails too, so he's a really good pair-up with a punchyfist or shotgun MC. No need to geek the mage when you can just book him, Dano. Lorewise, cuffing the mage doesn't do poo poo. They don't need their hands to melt you into a puddle, they just need to be able to see you (sense, really, but sight is the most reliable). Kind of a shame that isn't modeled- one of the biggest nightmares of dealing with mages is that until they are dead they are a threat. An unconscious mage is a mage that might get you via ritual later if you left any physical evidence behind. Always geek the mage, and geek the mage first.

bob dobbs is dead posted:there's magecuffs and magemasks that will actually do the job in the crunch. if you don't send them to mage jail somehow and dont geek them they might geek you by ritual later yah The problem is the long term more than anything if you let a hostile mage live. They're too dangerous to leave alive unless your magical defenses are spot on, which they won't be unless you have an absurd amount of money or know some drek-hot mages of your own (whom you will almost certainly have to pay for the trouble)

kaosdrachen posted:Here's a fun fact: Astral perception does not necessarily require being able to see. You can astrally perceive with your eyes closed. You can astrally perceive if you're physically blind. You can, in fact, astrally perceive while blindfolded. This is why you don't leave living security mages behind you on the job. Professional respect. The security mage knows that they are the single largest threat to any intruders. Many companies install fiber optic lines leading to security offices, so their mage(s) can do their thing from a secure location anyway. It's less effective, but safer.

kaosdrachen posted:The reason that's not a major concern is because casting through binoculars is really drat hard. It's been ages since I checked the rules and I'm mostly a 3E guy anyway, but it's like trying to thread a needle using a 50-yard-long set of pliers. It's not quite that bad. It's harder, yeah, but not catastrophically so.

Rogue AI Goddess posted:Sounds like a good setup, not just for the company, but also for any shadowrunning PCs that hit it. No hacking the feed- it's just a fiber optic line, no computer involved. If the light bouncing off the target doesn't reach your eye direct, it doesn't count.

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:Come on, no sane corp with an army of bean counters is gonna pay a mage to monitor a single "camera" 24/7. There's probably a system of mirrors connected to a motor and a computer somewhere to switch between the various endpoints. That's what you target. Nah, mate. Many fiber optic end points ending in a plethora of peepholes. I'm going by original FASA descriptions, that motorized setup isn't in the listing.

I dont know posted:From what I recall, it only worked with pure unarmed attacks, which means the adept really needs a high unarmed skill paired with a high level of the ability killing hands to do lethal damage with it. Killing Hands (D) and a high strength, quickness, and unarmed skill are paramount to getting good value out of it, yeah.

paragon1 posted:Ares isn't going to build the complex space mirror and telescope system because nobody is going to pay for an ultra-expensive system that can be foiled by a loving cloud when you already have GPS and rods from god. a drone with a can of spray paint works just as well.

paragon1 posted:If your drone's program is good enough that it can spot the, presumably hidden, ends of a fiber optic cable then its probably about to develop a God complex and take over an arcology.  people who aren't riggers use drones?

sebmojo posted:Also endless intricate planning sessions are game poison. The nights dark agents preparation stat is the way to go, where you have x number of slots for you to go "of course, I anticipated this new development" and pull out a suitable tool. Hard disagree, my shadowrun group loves intricate planning almost more than actual execution.

Kobal2 posted:I mean, you go in expecting a milk run (I know, I know, no such thing) and you get a one-two punch of getting half your team domed in seconds then the government branding you as kill-on-sight public enemy #1,2,3 and 4... it's going to rattle just about anyone. Even a veteran runner would be phased by the volume and odour of that pile of poo poo dumped on their head without warning. They had no reason to think this two-bit escort gig was going to be this big of a trap, yeah.

thekeeshman posted:Street Monk, what's the point of being an adept if we're not going to lean into it? I mean, generally, leaning into the magical living aesthetic can get you prioritized for incoming fire. Geek the mage first is a universal rule one, and as far as most people are concerned adepts count.

Poil posted:I can't really fault Is0bel too much considering, but it is such a decker thing not to have any kind of preparation for if the power goes out. There's not really much prep you can do- if any part of the path you took to where you're currently in loses power, you're getting dumped, and probably hard. You can have power backups at home, sure, but that doesn't save you from interstitial nodes going down.
