Character Consepts: Mages/Mystics/Adepts

Doesn't matter, We have to use extended clip: 19(c) We don't have the slots for aditional. BOOOO

Not including disguises... we are sitting at 398(without Watchful Guard) + NY2,115

That includes:
Combat Load Vest: holds one commlink and can be fitted with ammo pouches.
3X Ammo Pouches (Pistol): Which can hold 3 clips each. So nine of the 10 spares are in pouches. 1 can be in a pocket.

If we get super desperate for gear... which we shouldn't we could drop the Doc Wagon Contract. But those are useful.

Think of the Combat Load Vest as more of a harness than a vest.

i think you got my math wrong wreck, or i got it wrong, which ever works out. either way, i bought 50 bullets per gun, thats 2 clips (19*2=38) with 12 extra bullets all together per gun, or since we have 2 guns now, 4 clips and 24 extra bullets, or 5 clips and five extra bullets. so we really only need 1 or 2 pouches since we only have 5 total clips.

heh, yeah... it's freakishly hard to find the descriptive for the load vest. It's described in the first paragraph under Smart Pouches on page 62 of Arsenal. The Ammo pouches are talked about in the next paragraph. Price and Availability are on the "Odds and Ends" Table in the bottom right of the same page. They are also listed as a sub-item of Smart Pouches under the "Odds and Ends" entry on page 192.

I only stumbled across them because I was curious about what a "smart" pouch was.

neat, and check out my math here.

uhh.... I think that was left over from when you suggested the additional clip mod. Originally we wanted 120 bullets and 10 clips because that would have been 5xdouble clips. I'll fix the # of bullets/clips.

alrighty then.

Hawk don't worry we are almost done with your character, just buttoning up some last minute math.

So if we are buying 12xEX-Explosive=120 rounds, we only need 4 spare clips. We have 1 in each gun already, so that's a total of 6. So two spare clips per gun, 114 rounds in clips, and 6 left over.

So two Ammo Pouches. We have NY2,070 left.

Sound good?

are calculating in the new cost for ammo? considering i said 100 rounds, not 120

At 100 rounds we'd only have 3 extra clips, and 5 extra bullets. At that point the load vest and 1 ammo pouch aren't needed.

So we'd have NY3,225 left over.

I wasn't sure if you meant that you wanted 100 rounds, or 5 spare clips. So I took a mid-stance.

your right on the 120 bullets, its just 200 extra nuyen anyways. math wise:

given:

• bullets are NY100 per 10; can only buy them in groups of 10
  
• clip size is 19 bullets
  
• must have at least 4 clips (1 in each gun and 1 spare for each gun)
  

Work the math:

• 120 bullets = NY1,200
  
• 120/19= 6.3...-->6 full clips (1 in each gun, 2 spare for each gun, 1+2 = 3 * 2 = 6 full clips) and 6 extra bullets.

Just thought i'd show you that your 120 bullets were better and that we wouldn't get confused anymore.

So...

total cost for 2 custom guns, ammo, 1 custom Katana, 2 silencers, 2 hidden gun arm slides, 1 concealable holster for the katana (yes they make them for swords too.):

totals:

• Ares 4 predator 350
  extended clip 500 (19 bullets, its our gun anyways)
  personalized grip 100
  melee hardening 300
  underbarrel weapon (cougar fineblade knife, short blade (str/2+1, ap-1) 550
  
• Ares 4 predator 350
  extended clip 500 (19 bullets, its our gun anyways)
  personalized grip 100
  melee hardening 300
  underbarrel weapon (cougar fineblade knife, short blade (str/2+1, ap-1) 550
  
• Katana 1000
  personalized grip 100
  
• Silencer 200
  
• Silencer 200
  
• Hidden gun arm slide 350
  
• Hidden gun arm slide 350
  
• Concealable holster (locatated on the small of the back going diagonal up, handle down by your hip 75
  
• Ammo: 120 Ex-explosive bullets 1,200
  
• 4 spare (empty) clips 60
  
• Total = NY7335
  

that is a complete and total breakdown of everything we have bought weaponry wise.

So we had enough NY for the second pred even with watchful guard?

Sweet as Phantom. heh, turns out that when I "fixed" the Ex-Explosive entry in the char-gen... I forgot to switch the price from the Explosive to the Ex-Explosive. So my prices were off by half the price on ammo. I've fixed that too.

With Everything Else we've bought EQ wise we have 10BP in gear, with NY2,445.

Ok.

Man, this char's turned out amazing. I can't wait to get him into a campaign and watch the bullets fly.

What we did was figure out how much everything we were going to need/want was, converted that to BP, then we made it fit. Think of making a puzzle piece fit with a hammer, saws-all, and duct tape.

Is that what we did? I thought we were baking cookies... mmmm.... cookies....

anyways, lets post the finished product up, Wreck i beleive its your turn.

there it is, Toshiro is done hawk.

What should we build next?

Awesome guys. Thanks for all the help. This was a lot of fun... do you mind if I hang around and chime in now and again on your builds?

I think we need a player that wants to do a technomancer.

yeah we do, have either of us played a technomancer before?

Sure Hawk, i don't mind.

I made one once, but I never actually got to play him. You can make a hacker much more effective in the short run than a Technomancer, so that's why I built Wr3ck.

i would assume its not that difficult, i made a mechno-mancer to handle security at the church for matron and i always had the image of as long as their is technology nearby, we can do whatever it is we need to, so perception would be a plus, maybe we should make a technomancer hacker/spider with a splash of rigger? You also know the whole hacking/technology world better than me so it shouldn't be that hard. or we simply just build a hacker with cyber gear, none of these past three characters have any cyber, maybe throw an odd one in the mix, one that needs it to live or something along those lines.

Should we let Hawk post his character into the Norse Winds thread?

my honest vote is that we go for a technomancer, we have a true sorcerer (Taviro, my guy). We also have a phys-ad/monster that chuck norris checks under his bed for (Jötunn, your guy). So maybe we should go for a digital sorcerer, and give him a splash of something so he can kick trog in combat next to your guy.
