You're just wiping the programs from the architecture.

It's basically data corruption, one of the easier viruses to pull off.
It would be more expensive if you wanted to disguise it as something "mundane" like a power surge.
But different GMs have different Ideas on what is easy and what is hard :v
cerulean copper
aight, because the examples the book gives are uh
super vague
"You can do anything once you hit the bottom floor" kinda makes it hard to gauge what costs what at that point
worldly light
Basically. You feel it outm
It's like cooking, not baking.
Personally I base it off of complexity/time.
Want something done right now? Ok, that's easier than a delayed virus. Want something entirely localised in this network? Cool beans, cheap-o
But something that for example... Tags the next person to connect with a program, that's hard to do in a way that isn't obvious.
Or say. A backdoor that lets you disable IFF.
But then again I am not gonna be your GM
cerulean copper
yeah that makes a lot of sense
worldly light
Deleting stuff is the easiest kind of virus in my head.
cerulean copper
actually odd question now
wait nvm that wouldn't work would it
Copy pasting a black ICE onto your cyberdeck is probably a bad idea
idek if that counts as a virus
Black ICE pokemon
oh fuck the slaught o matic before it existed
I do also find this quote funny
"Be discreet or you'll probably find nobody wants to talk to you"
worldly light
To reiterate
^ and allat
Tbh "Come in Full Tincan and airing Iron" is a lovely description and I am so proud of it.
cerulean copper
honestly it makes a lot of sense why armor is usually concealable in some expacs
worldly light
Copy pasting a black ICE onto your cyberdeck is probably a bad idea
You could probably steal ICE with a virus I don't see why not.
But yeah if you failed the rolls you would absolutely get jumped on spawn the next time you jack into anything
At least I'd rule it like that :v
cerulean copper
assuming it'd be an extra roll (once you get back) to actually like
extract the stolen ICE and make it not want to eat your brains
worldly light
I mean they're just programs.
... NGL my brain always thinks of them like Doom enemies.
Like. Just straight up running on Doom code
cerulean copper
part of me imagines fucked up pokemon or digimon, another part of me wants to say it's like inscryption where it's a literal PNG of an enemy as a card
worldly light
Wakes up when it spots the player? Check pursues them until one or the other is dead? Check.
cerulean copper
actually flavoring a netrun as an inscryption styled story would be pretty funny
worldly light
Is capable of fighting other "demons?" Also check
:v
You kinda do have your deck. (The cyber)
cerulean copper
that and you risk death every game
paper yacht
Yknow I should probably give daniel some slugs in addition to the shells i bought him with his starting money
Just read the rules on shells
cerulean copper
there's a gun that converts shells into slugs
idk if that's worth it though
oh nvm it's as much as a regular shotgun
huh
paper yacht
i mean there's still the downside of mag-shells only being usable in the slamdance
paper yacht
never know if you wanna give a buddy ammo
or if you get caught out without your weapon and need to loot a shottie off a dead guy
cerulean copper
yeahhh
paper yacht
plus i think a regular ol pump action fits him better thematically :3c
cerulean copper
tbh I've debated on giving RK a concealable firearm that he carries at all times
oh wait nvm the stun gun can be conceal carried
paper yacht
fuck your smart rifle i got a mossberg in my hand and a gleam in my eye
cerulean copper
"Fuck you"
tazes you to death
it actually can't kill anyone
but RK can just go in for the kill with his scratchers
cerulean copper
tbh I feel like RK uses a stun gun just because he feels less guilty if he only leaves someone seizing on the ground in total agony unconscious
paper yacht
this rule is really funny too
paper yacht
tbh I feel like RK uses a stun gun just because he feels less guilty if he only ...
i mean. its better than what happens to most people in night city
(turned into paste)
paper yacht
think fast chucklenuts
grabbing a rock off the ground and doing this to somebody
paper yacht
just got to the netrunning section of the book and good lird
its like. a second game
glass violet
oooh archer RK
eventually Ember's gonna have a gun but she probably won't start with one lol
hm, i could actually give her one if she goes down to kevlar armor instead of armorjack
her evasion is really good, she might be able to get away with it
cerulean copper
also part of it's because unlike bullets you can get arrows back after firing them
the downside
is that you only get one shot
glass violet
i think imma reconfigure Ember's gear and stuff
paper yacht
i might give Dani a cheap pistol too
but then again, i invested no points into actually firing it
he'd be running on pure Reflex (which, tbf, is maxed out)
cerulean copper
also the fact that RK can just be concealed carrying an entire bow is very funny to me
glass violet
Ember's got points in handgun but primarily is gonna use unarmed
paper yacht
also the fact that RK can just be concealed carrying an entire bow is very funny...
i assumed it was like, a one-handed crossbow from the "flick of the wrist" line
only just realized its a recurve lmao
cerulean copper
should be 200 but y'know
I am just editing weapons
also ended up giving him reflexes of 8
he doesn't get to be cool
cerulean copper
the lame party
ngl RK probably also has a bow because he doesn't have to reload it
and it's quiet too
so if he really has to take someone out he'll just stick an arrow in them and run
paper yacht
does Daniel have cool?
literally minimum cool lmao
cerulean copper
it is a 2 handed weapon but tbh
paper yacht
Cool was my dumpstat
glass violet
might actually have Ember's gun be more of a heavier weapon, if she's using the gun shit's getting serious, otherwise if she needs to be sneaky she'll just use melee
paper yacht
i mean, you said she has like 11 body bc of catgirlification, right?
cerulean copper
my god I love how all of the entries shit on the gunmart weapons
https://i.imgur.com/bFXcE5o.png
paper yacht
that lets her use heavy melees in one hand and lets her use certain mounted guns without a mount
cerulean copper
Anyways I do think Archery is more of a "if RK decides not to Netrun" sorta deal
Like if he's in a situation where he can't or really doesn't want to go into a net architecture he can at least participate in the fight
AHAHAHAHA
glass violet
i mean, you said she has like 11 body bc of catgirlification, right?
i think 9
can't get above 10 unless you have a linear frame
paper yacht
Ah, i see
cerulean copper
pfff man that's one way to say "don't minmax all your combat stats"
hollow bronze
Is there a party face or does everyone suck at talking to people and being assertive?
cerulean copper
actually I did do a bit of restatting
so RK can like
talk to people
like a human being
sick python
Would it be crazy to have a bow for longer range & stealth and a heavy pistol for more damage when it gets loud?
paper yacht
I mean, Daniel has high EMP to make up for low Cool
While he can't negotiate a deal, he can at least have a friendly conversation
cerulean copper
Would it be crazy to have a bow for longer range & stealth and a heavy pistol fo...
maybe, not sure
heavy pistols are 1 handed though which is nice
cerulean copper
tbf
when half of the population is wearing kevlar on or under their clothes
1d6 ain't gonna cut it
glass violet
yeah makes sense
cerulean copper
like small arms are practically BB guns when they're met with a roided dude with skin that makes him bullet resistant
paper yacht
I swapped his stats around a bit, took one out of Move and INT
Cool isn't good but its good enough to get a 10 with maxed out Streetwise, and 10's a nice benchmark to be proficient in a skill
cerulean copper
I will admit I did kinda just stat RK based off of the vibes he gives off
like he's obviously not amazing in some places but he knows his around some things
paper yacht
I will admit I did kinda just stat RK based off of the vibes he gives off
Yeah thats what i did with Daniel too, here are his original stats
(Emp is only 7 after cyberware, base its 8)
cerulean copper
as far as Dex goes he's like
he'd have a decent amount
at least imo
because he is practically running marathons around the city to get to places
paper yacht
I went with high Luck because lets be honest, compared to every other working class Night Cityite, Daniel has been extraordinarily lucky
Plus it can be used to clutch failed stabilize rolls
cerulean copper
like RK is high speed from delivery work, got decent dex because he gets a workout being chased around by clowns, is kinda lame so no cool at all (and he's a nervous little guy to boot so it's not like he's winning any facedowns), has absolutely dogshit luck, had an actual education so he's got good int, high reflexes because this guy has had to learn to dodge gunfire, and decent tech because he works around machines a lot. Regarding body, he's relativley fit, same with willpower he is just extroadinarily sturdy for a guy his size, and he's like... An average dude lmao
oh my god-
glass violet
again, might respec her a little, at least as far as cyberware, kinda feel like i wanna go for a few large pieces rather than just like, a dozen little utility ones like she's got now
paper yacht
Daniel's got high INT because he actually got a pretty damn good education (megabuilding was lucky enough to have a grade school + scholarship at NCU), high REF because he's trained to breach and clear rooms, lowish DEX because he's more used to guns than hand to hand, high TECH because of his TT medical training, low cool because this boy probably has an anxiety disorder, middling will because you don't become a doctor without a lot of mental willpower, high luck because he's been dealt a good a hand as any non-corpo can have, high-ish move to get to patients faster, middling body because this twink is scrawny but not unhealthy, and maxed EMP because he's a little sweetheart
But yeah i did move some stats around, like that game designer note says, Cyberpunk doesnt lend itself well to minmaxing
cerulean copper
also a very random and funny thought here, but I'm half tempted to homebrew up a bipod attachment you can stick to anything (including melee weapons) for a +2 to wardrobe style
paper yacht
also a very random and funny thought here, but I'm half tempted to homebrew up a...

Icky no good
Awful, looks like a gun you'd make in Tarkov
cerulean copper
Also I find it hilarious how you can stick a scope on a bow
glass violet
Ember's still gonna be a bit specialized but like, i think it makes sense in character
paper yacht
Ye
Daniel's still far better at supporting than fighting
Hell he has a very solid chance of failing his first death save
cerulean copper
same with RK. He does have a good cybertech skill btw so he could potentially help Daniel with some work
glass violet
Hell he has a very solid chance of failing his first death save
meanwhile Ember literally only fails on a 10
paper yacht
God cyberpunk is a very brutal system lmao
Do you ever increase a main stat after levelling up, or just your class' special ability stats?
glass violet
God cyberpunk is a very brutal system lmao
yeah its really like "do everything in ur power to not go down cuz if u do you're probably fucked"
harsh nest
you can increase Body easily with chrome and a full FBC can get you augments for the physical stats (Dex, Reflex, Move) at an exorbitant price
but the rest are locked to where they are absent use of a ton of combat drugs
I have always been tempted to start as a total non-combat character and see if I can claw my way up to FBC levels to produce someone with 8+ in every single stat, since you theoretically get enough points for that, but that strikes me as a great way to die whenever someone gets in melee with your zero-evasion meat body
a strange mix of powergaming and hardmode
harsh nest
yeah, bullet dodging is extremely strong
bonus points if your team is loaded up with low-light/UV smart glasses/cybereyes and then pops a few smoke grenades
cerulean copper
admittedly I'm going with it because like
as a Netrunner
I expect RK to take a lot of damage from Black ICE
and would rather not have him get domed on top of that
paper yacht
Yeah but Daniel's REF is 4
So he has base 10 evasion
Which is good, but not good for dodge-tanking yknow?
harsh nest
evasion is calculated from Dex, actually
paper yacht
*dex
harsh nest
you just need Ref 8 to enable dodging ranged attacks
paper yacht
I meant to type dex
harsh nest
ah, yeah, that's more of a problem
paper yacht
REF is maxed
Evasion for him is like a "in case i get caught out (though I shouldnt get caught out)" thing
harsh nest
my last fixer was base 10 and that was noticeably bad enough that I didn't roll to dodge many bullets, because it would usually be worse than the static DV
glass violet
yeah Ember's def gonna be evasion tanking with 8 dex and 50hp
harsh nest
unless I was sitting in a smoke grenade cloud in which case I got boosted to effective base 14 and was laughing
take up smoking, kids, you'll live longer
cerulean copper
same with RK tbh
paper yacht
I intend for daniel to be moving between cover and firing off when he can, like a normal soldier and not a cyborg doctor
cerulean copper
like with him he's probably cowering behind cover on top of mayyybe dodging with a base 12 (not great but it's alright enough)
he might also try to hide and pull a fast one on someone
glass violet
Ember's literally sposta be running right up into shit so she needs some evasion
could give her brawl so she can grapple people as shields too
paper yacht

"You know the drill" no i dont know this drill actually
cerulean copper
I feel like the disclaimer says enough lol
Like how do I put it
When a company uses a disclaimer explicitly denying x happened, it happened
paper yacht
Ember sneaking up behind some random booster in an abandoned mall
cerulean copper
lmao
glass violet
Lmao
cerulean copper
Also I find it funny how RK's "stealth" in his case is really just "Yeah so I'm actually just harmless"
While he's got the folded up bow concealed
glass violet
Rks stealth like "I'm jus a lil guy 🥺 "
glass violet
Also man why are all the cyberleg upgrades so expensive compared to arm ones
cerulean copper
Because the legs are already cheap
And also because the upgrades all need to be paired most of the time
Effectively doubling their costs
(for context a Cyberleg by itself is 100 EB vs a Cyberarm which is 500 EB)
glass violet
Yeag
cerulean copper
I do find it funny though that both RK and Ember have digitigrade legs here
glass violet
Yeee
They're so cool ngl
Incredibly gender too
paper yacht
Indeed
I feel like Daniel is kind of hesitant to get super chromed up, given the fact that as a ripperdoc he knows damn well what chrome can do to you, but he's by no means an inquisitor
Plus, that 80 humanity is there for a reason
glass violet
Ember didn't really have a choice to get chromed up or not, aside from the catgirlification, that was her choice
paper yacht
Though, Daniel would 100% agree that the digitigrade legs are 'cute as hell' as they say
And he's got a decent amount of fashionware too, both chemskin and techhair
And a biomon hooked up to his agent
glass violet
Mhm Ember has that too
paper yacht
Yknow i wonder why biomons are considered fashionware, because like
Yeah, mechanically they do nothing
But lets be real, being able to know someone's condition just by booting up an app on their phone is really damn useful
glass violet
Yeah it's kinda in the territory of like, why wouldn't you get this
cerulean copper
I am kinda conflicted on giving RK light tattoos
To represent the uh
Ears
I know Holo wear exists but that's an entire outfit
paper yacht
could say they're like, an ear headband
or hell, its such a minor biosculpt you could just say he got it a while back
cerulean copper
No like they're actually holographic in the picture I drew for him
paper yacht
oh lol
cerulean copper
I imagine they're sorta like hairclips or something
They just come/count with the urban flash mirrorshades
I think it's probably gonna be up to a GM though
paper yacht
yeah, im not a GM but if i were i'd probably just allow them to be part of another piece of fashion :3
cerulean copper
Also I do find it a little funny how he has an umbrella just because he doesn't like dealing with rain in the first place
And also because people don't like soggy goods
paper yacht
soggy fops....
glass violet
Honestly umbrellas seem really good with how fucked up the rain can be
I think I am gonna keep a trait from Ember's original incarnation, that being if anyone calls her "kitten", they're getting their ass beat, no hesitation
cerulean copper
Also I know "Kruzikov" isn't a real Russian name but it'd be funny if it coincidentally was
cerulean copper
Kruzikov is Rin's last name
And yeah Rin his first name but he generally goes by "RK"
paper yacht
ah :3
littlest guy ever
also, judging by this description, does this mean that datapools just look like how the Internet does irl?
compared to the weird funky alternate-world stuff cyberpunk net normally is
cerulean copper
Probably
cerulean copper
Also I wonder if a tech can do more than just increase SP on armor
paper yacht
Also I wonder if a tech can do more than just increase SP on armor
can't techs build weapons and gear, too?
glass violet
do either of your blorbs have cybertech btw?
paper yacht
Daniel has Cybertech maxed
a +14 on it
also - i know 6 is the max a skill can start at, but can you go above that from levelling up?
(skill, not stat)
glass violet
i'd imagine, cuz like all the skill descriptions mention base 18
which is yknow, above the base 14 you can start at
paper yacht
ye
cerulean copper
can't techs build weapons and gear, too?
Yeah
Iirc they can modify according to their own specifications too
Techs are actually crazy strong
paper yacht
are cryosystems worth investing in at all? or should I stick with pharmaceuticals and Surgery?
glass violet
no idea tbh
cerulean copper
are cryosystems worth investing in at all? or should I stick with pharmaceutical...
From what I read it's kinda optional but it can be used to keep someone in stasis long enough for you to save them or something
Basically
Stick them in a glorified cooled bodybag and they stop making death saves
Then you can stabilize later when you're not at risk of getting domed
paper yacht
ah, sick :3
might put one point in there just for the pump
i dont think i'd want to bother with a cryotank until i got good surgery and pharma :>
glass violet
so im rebuilding Ember jus cuz i know more now, still kinda getting stuck on stats
paper yacht
daniel would 100% misinterpret what "do him a favor" means
paper yacht
Meanwhile RK just being like "Dude, you're gonna get AIDS"
i misread this as
RK having aids
and saying it to the joytoy
paper yacht
i mean, you're pretty likely to get AIDS from Smash as well
who knows where that needle and/or airhypo has been?
cerulean copper
Smash is a drink

It's basically a really shitty version of sprite that happens to also be a party drug

oh yeah, just remembered that daniel has a +2 on Paramedic rolls because of his medscanner
so his paramedic isnt just a +14, it's a +16
unless he rolls a crit fail you are not dying on his watch
paper yacht
three absolute dorks risking their lives for glory, justice, and/or twenty bucks
could get daniel a techscanner, too
+2 on cybertech
cerulean copper
unless he rolls a crit fail you are not dying on his watch
Nope
Even on crit fails
If you pass the check
You are good
Crit fails are mostly significant for attacks though, especially poor quality weapons
paper yacht
when you roll a crit fail, you roll another d10 and subtract that from your roll
cerulean copper
Ahhh ok
paper yacht
but
if you use your luck pool, that brings the roll from a 1 to a 2
meaning its no longer a crit fail
cerulean copper
Ah ok
glass violet
Meanwhile poor ember and rk with their dogshit luck lol
cerulean copper
Also ngl the idea of RK pulling an entire bow out of his ass is funny to me
Like somehow he's managed to hide it away in his jacket
paper yacht
he just reaches into his back and it materializes like the Skyrim bow
no wait skyrim has visible holstered weapons
like the guns in Fallout 4
cerulean copper
It's like a monster hunter bow
Except it folds a lot more I guess
Because you can conceal carry the Origami
paper yacht
it could also be small-ish
like a bit smaller than a wooden recurve
which would let it be concealable when folded
paper yacht
also imagining the sopping wet soggy ass cyber-fox with a bow is really funny :3

kinda wondering what kind of plotlines the group would get up to now
paper yacht
also i'd imagine that not every cube hotel is listed on the map
they are the cheapest housing around so they're prolly fucking everywhere
cerulean copper
likely just the most significant of the bunch
I imagine RK's is relatively dilapidated
paper yacht
yknow i think its funny living in a literal storage container is considered more comfortable than a cube hotel
cerulean copper
it's got a small leakage problem and a few cubes are unusable or have their doors jammed, but at least some of the cubes are liveable
cerulean copper
yknow i think its funny living in a literal storage container is considered more...
when you think about it a storage container is a massive upgrade compared to a tiny room that makes solitary confinement look cozy

daniel comes to visit to meet up for a job and just goes "damn bitch you live like this?"
cerulean copper
I'd jokingly say that somehow, it costs even less to live there at 250 EB because the landlord there realized that most people at the hotel don't even live long enough to pay a measly 500 before kicking the bucket
paper yacht
you know, now i wonder
cerulean copper
pffff
paper yacht
if i played Daniel in an actual game, how the fuck would he pay his rent and lifestyle
like, yeah i can imagine in-universe he pays it off with all the clients he gets from the Combat Zone to the south
cerulean copper
200 + 1000 so 1200 which he can make off of one good gig and a few small gigs. Plus if RK's living with him in the near future, he's probably also pitching in
paper yacht
but mechanically you can only hustle once a week, safe-ish jobs are 500 eddies, and rent for a studio apartment is 1500 + 300 from prepak
paper yacht
200 + 1000 so 1200 which he can make off of one good gig and a few small gigs. P...
true
cerulean copper
but mechanically you can only hustle once a week, safe-ish jobs are 500 eddies, ...
oof
also isn't an average job 1000 eddies?
glass violet
i'd imagine (with talking to whoever the GM is) Ember might make a bit more, since she's with one of the big corps
paper yacht
also there's the chance of an employer just straight up underpaying you
glass violet
but yeah making rent on an actua studio would be difficult
cerulean copper
RK unambiguously starts with the shittiest living conditions of the group I think
paper yacht
i imagine Daniel's "clinic" is kinda like, the size of V's apartment in 2077, but the recreation and sleeping area's been cleared away for equipment, and the stash has been turned into a shitty little bedroom
it was not a clinic when he first rented it (he spent his entire TT severance turning it into a clinic and goddamn it he's gonna earn that severance back or die trying)
cerulean copper
if you wanna be generous, it's a cargo container set up in one of the many communities that have popped up in the city with a bunch of tents set up for patients
paper yacht
cargo containers aren't in moderate zones
only in suburbs, reclaimed, and combat zones
cerulean copper
ahhh yeah true

yeah i'd imagine Ember's apartment is a little smaller than V's, but like
it's fucking Empty

also I imagine RK has a vendit serving things from the plain weird section (namely the vat grown seafood and flying fish soup)
it's likely beaten
and sometimes some foolhardy individual gets torched to death

That might also be because my most base idea of a gift is a good piece of food. Everyone likes food.
Except tech bros.
paper yacht
daniel wouldnt buy him food because he's barely paying his bills as is but he would offer to share his prepak with him
worldly light
Tech bros the kinda people that eat blended kibble with water.
cerulean copper
I do feel like he'd be the kind of person to try (and fail) at hunting pigeons (not like they even exist in NC) just to get a meal that isn't kibble
paper yacht
Tech bros the kinda people that eat blended kibble with water.
i mean i could see a techie modding their tastebuds to eat kibble without issue
cerulean copper
Tech bros the kinda people that eat blended kibble with water.
also RK does actually hate living off of kibble but knows it's literally that or starving to death
in short
he just chokes it down and tries not to think too hard about it
worldly light
dragging RK into a gig with the promise of good food
cerulean copper
that is definitely one way to get get his trust
paper yacht
daniel offers RK a bit of his scop and RK just pack bonded to him like a baby chick
cerulean copper
also he does actually have the endurance to sleep out in the street
not that it's ideal
he just tries to find a cozy ruined or slightly intact building and sets up shop on the roof

cyber daniel's story was inspired partially by the 4chan sandwich man story
worldly light
I think I'm actually gonna make Victoria start off with an actual car for a bit before she gets her bike, just so she can sleep in the car since it gives a but of a bonus Vs straight up on the street.
paper yacht
like despite living like three miles from a combat zone none of the gangers mess with him not because he's scary or anything, but because he's nice, he's one of the cheapest ripperdocs available to them, and he actually gives a damn about them
worldly light
Like .. narratively She has the bike but is working on filing off the numbers etc.
glass violet
i kinda like the idea of Ember starting off rather cold and detached from the group, not wanting to get attached to these dorks, but then slowly warming up to them, and realizing her life with the corporation kinda sucks
cerulean copper
I do think that if RK can't pay rent he can at least sleep out in the street
but that's awful and he does his best to make himself an unappealing target
which is to say he tries to his best to find the most secluded corners in the city to avoid trouble
he's definitely a little nomadic as far as lifestyle goes though because sometimes he can't make it back home once he's finished wandering places like Little Europe
as close to "home" as a cube gets
also jesus christ this is a scarily good deal lol
the subdermal armor is just good

there's unfortunately not one for birds buuuuut technically an exotic biosculpt can turn you into a birb (canonically one of the people running a night market is a bird biosculpt to boot)
worldly light
You just don't get no wings.
But.
If you really wanna be bird themed personally I'dulticlass into Nomad and grab
Personal flight achieved.mp3
And you can put a gun on it.
cerulean copper
tbh you could flavor subdermal as angel wings if you wanna go the chainsaw man route with it but that's a bit of a leap depending on your GM
worldly light
Or a flamethrower.
cerulean copper
paper yacht
nah i said im not going with the angel theme with cyber daniel
cerulean copper
yeah I think I remembered you saying that a while back
paper yacht
plus he already has a 10 in air vehicle
cerulean copper
Also it confirms that you don't need shoes if you got cyberlegs.
one less thing RK has to spend money on
also the Trauma Team comic cements that statement too
since the psycho in there doesn't have shoes either, his cyberlegs just have padded feet
worldly light
Mmm.. cyber pawbs
cerulean copper
Mmm.. cyber pawbs
dammit, now I question if RK does have those lmao
glass violet
Mmm.. cyber pawbs
Ember very much does have thes :3
cerulean copper
Y'know what he probably does
they have like
that tire tread pattern tho
probably made from actual tire treads too
paper yacht
bnuuy :3
cerulean copper
I also find it incredibly funny how they have a knockoff SAO style game
not really Alfheim but I feel like it's a reference
glass violet
she does still have shoes for like, corpo shit but probably doesn't in her casual outfit
i'd imagine finding shoes that fit digitigrade feet is a pain anyways
cerulean copper
could fit more like socks maybe
front part is cut out leaving the middle and sole
glass violet
yee
she's got one pair of like, nicer shoes for corpo shit and a pair of modified combat boots and that's it
cerulean copper
RK kinda just stuck some ballistic plating under the casing on his cyberlimbs and called it a day
hollow bronze
wait so why were you doing that btw
I forgot this was like years ago
cerulean copper

paper yacht
you know if someone irl said this to me i'd think they're fucking pathetic but honestly very understandable if you live in Cyberpunk
earning just enough to pay for kibble and my subscription to ELO
i mean at least he has a job

oh my god "Elfname" jesus fuck
oh yeah @glass violet
you could maybe negotiate this with a GM if Ember is a corpo

you could maybe negotiate this with a GM if Ember is a corpo

maybe i could negotiate like, she gets a tiny apartment comped, not a whole conapt

paper yacht
CPR game that's nothing but this
the book actually suggests using Elfines either to do no-stakes combat to blow off steam after a big stressful job, or as a Session 0 to explain why the crew all know each other

I meant they misplaced the comma

but ye I can see her living in a corpo provided studio
worldly light
The drink master thing makes me think of this meme.
glass violet
but ye I can see her living in a corpo provided studio
yea that works, though again it'd still be depressingly empty
cerulean copper
also I find it hilarious how RK can somehow nail someone from potentially 25 squares away comfortably
if we're going off of the shot DV alone
glass violet
yeah that's not bad
worldly light
My girl is more accurate with full auto than with single shot and that is kinda funny.
cerulean copper
she's too used to the weapon's aim moving up due to autofire
so maybe she just overcompensates with single fire
glass violet
Ember just kicks things lol
paper yacht
Daniel can hit people consistently from 7-12 yards away but DVs are still pretty decent up to 25 yards
worldly light
My mental image is that she's "walking the gun" across someone. Instead of actually shooting at them
paper yacht
26 and higher it becomes longer than he can hit without a crit
yknow it is kinda weird you can miss when barrelstuffing someone with a shotgun
cerulean copper
RK (if he gets lucky) can manage a hit at max range which is even funnier to me because dude is somehow getting you with a ranged pointy stick from 200 yards away
worldly light
Long weapons have a penalty up close.
Cause the enemy can like. Knock your gun to the side.
paper yacht
true
cerulean copper
I feel like RK attacking someone with the bow at point blank is just him stabbing you with an arrow at that point
cerulean copper
doubt that'd be a melee attack but it'd be funny if that were the case
paper yacht
`Stab stab stab!`
cerulean copper
destroy an arrow for 2d6 or something
worldly light
Mm... Boomerang.
cerulean copper
yeah but that's expensive
paper yacht
is drawing a weapon an action or can you just attack with any weapon you have onhand
worldly light
Considering awful things...
cerulean copper
that said the fact RK can conceal carry his bow is funny on multiple fronts just because this mf deadass pulls an entire bow out of his jacket
worldly light
You have to draw a weapon, unless it's a cyberware that specifies you do not.
Some cyberwares are still drawn.
Like mantis blades and the Chainsaw arm
((in that you use an action to unfold them, and they force-drop whatever you had in hand))
glass violet
considering giving Ember shoulder arms instead of handgun and giving her a shotgun eventually
glass violet
it's more that with the catgirlification treatment, ember has $350 starting money
paper yacht
after buying all his gear daniel has only 60 eddies to his name
which is probably bad #tbh
cerulean copper
RK had to make sacrifices to get what he wanted
worldly light
Eeh most characters are broke to start off
paper yacht
how does a bow and arrow do moredamage than a shotgun pellet
pellets from shells are 2d6
cerulean copper
oh
also maybe it's because the pellets are well
pellets
and spread out?
it's not being concentrated into one point
glass violet
which is probably bad #tbh
i mean Ember's literally going down to $0 to have any starting gear lol
paper yacht
true but. yknow, shotguns usually have pretty damn tight chokes and can accurately hit from far away
cerulean copper
yeah true
paper yacht
(irl i mean)
glass violet
i might actually give Ember subdermal armor as part of her corpo cyberware set so she doesn't have to buy armor
paper yacht
not even on the tabletop can i escape the trope of buckshot becoming useless past 15 feet.....
cerulean copper
no I've played fallout 4 and managed to snipe people with an explosive shotgun far outside of its effective range so I understand what you're saying
paper yacht
yeah like. iirc the whole point of shotguns irl was originally to hit faraway targets
like from weight of fire alone
not to turn someone into red mist
cerulean copper
I think part of it's because of just balance issues
paper yacht
yeah
if shotguns worked like irl shotguns they'd just be worse assault rifles
bc no autofire
cerulean copper
if there is one thing that I find absolutely hilarious about the bow though
it's the fact it can have a smartgun link stuck into it
"I aimbotted my bow"
paper yacht
put a gyrojet on your arrow
actually are smartguns in 2045 the weird funky gyrojets that they are in 2077? or is it just like. aimbot
cerulean copper
I think it's closer to aimbot?
smart ammo does exist though
gotta pay out the ass for it though
glass violet
so yeah 1k of Ember's corp-cyber is going to subdermal plating, cuz permanent light armorjack that doesn't look like armor is nice
500 left for whatever
eventually might wanna get her a suit of heavier armor? but the penalties kinda suck
cerulean copper
yeah it's not worth it
especially if you have a tech onboard
actually if you wanna give her a sniper rifle the Kodiak Hunter exists but it's basically the CPR equivalent of a loading weapon
the Everest is inescapable
glass violet
cerulean copper
it is funny how somehow bolt action weapons have survived all the way into the '45s
glass violet
simple works
cerulean copper
and then there's this thing
which is probably 90% plastic
I love how GunMart went the extra mile and also made a knockoff of the Arasaka Origami
glass violet
sniper-Ember is an idea, but iunno Ember feels more like an up-close kinda person
cerulean copper
yeag
she does
also the fact she's going complete wildcat mode on people is funny to me
glass violet
"Gun? Nah here have a fuckin clawed cyberleg to the face"

daniel might also be a good choice for a sniper tbh
but i like the medic-with-a-shotgun vibes :3c

and also he isn't high up there with his damage

And this woman cannot into melee
Fuck it. Swapping smuggling upgrade for the ram. When in doubt, floor it.

cerulean copper
like if you and someone else are sitting in a car
can you attack with the weapons you already have
worldly light
Yeah
cerulean copper
man
worldly light
Yeah.
"already have" is making this confusing.
Yes you can use personal weapons to shoot out of vehicles.
cerulean copper
because of the uh... Smuggling upgrade
cerulean copper

daniel's pilot trained you could do it in an AV if you wanted
"Air dropping an angry catgirl into enemy territory"

he's not a good pilot (has a base of 10 which means he cant even consistently land, only consistently fly) but he's good enough to take over in case the original pilot gets iced
worldly light
"Mi casa et... Du? Whatever. Fuckin get in and don't get the seats dirty I eat here"
cerulean copper
"Roll down the window just a little bit I think I can land this..."
paper yacht
yeah landing an AV is a DV of 13

Mm... I can save on the upgrades If I grab a car from black chrome

so even if he can consistently fly it, there's a 30% chance the landing will be less than pleasant

paper yacht
i mean, while obviously for balance reasons armor doesnt stack, but in-universe obviously more armor = better
cerulean copper
Hardened means that characters are optimized, so stuff like Will 8 Body 8, Reflex 8 with max evasion, etc
paper yacht
most people with subdermal armor would most likely also wear an armorjack over it, even if mechanically it'd be pointless

Huh
What's like, what's that mean?
Like does a hardened character have anythin different or is it like, "Hey here's a way to mark if a character is good at combat"
worldly light
If more than 50% of the characters are hardened it gives the green light for the DM to start chucking hardened NPC enemies at the players.
glass violet
Ohhh gotcha
paper yacht
More that I literally cannot afford to buy her armor, so I'm having part of her ...
oh lmao
worldly light
And also they are considered "proper" Edgerunners and might get bigger gigs
glass violet
Ember would only meet the first criteria of hardened, and then barely
cerulean copper
tbh RK isn't fully minmaxed out for combat
also you only need to fit one of those criteria to count
worldly light
Vic has one mag of ammo
paper yacht
"it's better to have an edgerunner that's good at roleplay and good at combat then one that's great at combat and useless in roleplay"
glass violet
Ember's also built for sneakybeaky, but being a combat critter is kinda the point of her character

Vic has *one mag of ammo*
unloads her SMRT™️ SMG
"Well that's about it, see you tomorrow."
paper yacht
cerulean copper
with RK he has some RP skills
cerulean copper
but yeah he's made to stand combat just in case
paper yacht
he has 4 dex, 5 body, and 5 will
glass violet
Yep, yeah I'm not trying to powergame her into being minmaxed, but she's gonna probably be the most combat focused, which comes with being the gangs solo
cerulean copper
honestly I only gave RK maxed movement because I thought it'd make sense for him lore wise
paper yacht
i originally gave him 7 MOV (because medics gotta move fast) but i took a point out so his Cool wouldn't be completely terrible
(mainly i wanted his Streetwise to reach 10 so he can actually make deals with fixers for medical supplies)
worldly light
I feel like I speccd all the cyberware for Vic' into shooting her gun, purely because I want to put her in the bike later.
She's also slow as balls because she should be in the club the car/on bike
cerulean copper
is it also because she's smashed on Smash?
worldly light
And inside buildings there is not much room to run around so like
- if she desperately needs to be faster without her babies, she has skates.
cerulean copper
anyways yeah, like RK stat and skills wise is kinda just a mix when I look at it
there are some 6s but there are a lot more 2s and 4s
glass violet
Kinda sucks that int is the stat for concealing and perception and stuff
Feels like I can't really dump any Stat for Ember
worldly light
... Road Rage has 18 Drive land vehicle
A d it will only get worse better since you add nomad rank to all vehicle related skills which is great.
paper yacht
I swapped his stats around a bit, took one out of Move and INT
this is the statline i got for daniel rn, EMP is after cyberware
cerulean copper
I might actually dump RK's streetwise and give him Play Instrument instead
paper yacht
what instrument he play
cerulean copper
just because that makes more sense
he probably does drums
it easy and he doesn't need much to get that kind of thing started

tbh RK having low streetwise makes sense in context
like he's a former rich kid that's basically been failing upwards ever since he started living the low life

tbh RK having low streetwise makes sense in context
Same for Ember, her handler sets up the jobs she does, she's not used to doing any of that

For his armorjack helmet, he wears a ski mask and like, whatever kinda mask Vigil in R6 wears. When combat starts he kinda just buttons his jacket up
Also lets be honest, given how kevlar can be made into normal clothes in cyberpunk, Daniel would 100% have kevlar thigh highs

RK himself is just generally the sorta guy that somehow finds the clothes he needs in the trash
