Shadowrun using DnD5 [OOC]

[Shayuri]

Dang, starting funds won't buy much, eh?

Do we get any more money for being level 3?

 

[GreenKarl]

No, I was kind of super stingy for a reason
Part of it is that you get to ask the Johnson for some extra gear and also because of the Edits later (after you get some cash up front)

 

[Shayuri]

Okay, there's a thing called a Security Kit mentioned in the gear section, but it's not listed under the toolkits. What's that?

 

[GreenKarl]

Where you seeing it? It might be from an older write up that I changed to either a GenLock Kit or MagLock kit (both found under Tools skills)

 

[Shayuri]

It's talking about using it to modify stuff like RFID tags?

RFID Tag: 1¥ each, nil weight. These tiny devices are easily concealed (Investigation 20, Perception DC25) that adhere to most surfaces. They are used to track almost every item produced. They have a broadcast signal strength of 1 (100 yards) and Firewall 18 and are used by manufactures to upload software patches, upgrades, etc. To disable the broadcast feature is illegal and requires a Tools – Security kit check vs. TN 15.

Also, is it intentional that most of the starter guns have the Heavy tag, requiring a Str of 12 or better to use effectively? Even the pistols?

 

[GreenKarl]

Ah ok... I had changed that to the Tag Locator/Eraser but missed that note there. I will edit it out.

I was thinking most of the classes (except Adepts and Magic Users) start with a vehicle. If you want to 'trade' that out I might let you start with something like that.

For weapons, yes its intentional. If you look at the Pistol entry you will see that it says you can use a heavy pistol two-handed and not be at disadvantage with it.

 

[Shayuri]

Trade out my vehicle for what now? I'm not following you.

Ah, I didn't quite grasp what that pistol section was saying then. Okay, thanks for the clarification. Still a little bit annoying, but nothing a talent and some money for cybernetics can't fix.

 

[jonathonhawke]

A light Firearm with the Heavy property can be used two-handed without penalty.

 

[GreenKarl]

Reading it again I noticed that in the Tag Locator/Eraser it also says security kit. So I think I am going to make this a Computer Check instead unless you all think a different skill or tool kit would work??

 

[GreenKarl]

For Trade-Out I was thinking "Man that Tag Locator/Eraser would be nice but too expensive until I trade in my motorcycle for it" you would not have a nice ride but you would have a cool piece of tech
