Growin' up on a small farm in the Lone Star State half way between Dallas & the Lou'siana border doesn't give a kid a hell of a lot of options for passin' time. 'Course, when your hobby is shooting and you're a fair hand from a holster you don't need too many other hobbies. It perty much takes care of ev'rythin' else. That's how those fella's from Big D got wind a' me. They said they hear'd I wuz a fair hand an' said they could teach me better than my pa' ever could. We went out t' the back 40 for a shootin' match. Damn, that fella in the slick suit was quick. I wuz keepin' close wit' him on the single shots, but he could empty a sixer' quicker 'n I could draw an' get 2 shots out. They paid ma' an' pa' a "stipend" and said they'd make sure I had "education an' 'portunities" the likes of which I'd never find at home..... They weren't lying. I haven't been home since I was 13.  (P.S. this means I'm CAS)

Friday 9 pm: I'd be having a beer at a local dive. keeping 1 eye on the news and 1 on the local troublemakers. Watching the troublemakers discreetly, that is. Getting a feel for the power structure, who's most dangerous, and how the money flows. Just in case knowing could come in useful later....

Initial thoughts on first read-through: you could min/max the guy a bit more if you chose either dodge OR gymnastics (and put the others points into the same), they end up being mostly redundant. if you are looking for more applications, athletics skill group is a good way to go.

All and all the PC looks pretty professional. though. you've apparently done this before. Kudos.

Is there a back-story as well?

Checked your armor rating in Chummer, and the program docks you 2 Agility for using the Armored Jacket, Urban Explorer Jumpsuit, and Helmet. That affects your pistols skills as well as every other skill that uses Agility.

Wearing the Urban Explorer jumpsuit and helmet takes away the penalty, but leaves you with (6/8) armor. If you just want the jacket for flavor, feel free to have a non-armored trenchcoat to wear around looking cool.

Using just the Armored Jacket and helmet, you get the same rating (8/8), with no penalties. Except that people can target your legs to avoid your armor. But thems the breaks.

  - kv

[Bullet Sponge]

Thanks, but "I got this, Man."

P.S. I don't like Chummer anymore. The math from the book says it should only be a -1 penalty, but since you are in charge it's -2.

[kv]

Specifically, it's a -1 from Ballistic going over Bod X 2, and a -1 for Impact going over Bod X 2.

  - kv

[Yogi]

Yeah it blows.   It says if either ballistic/impact is greater than body*2 a -1 occurs to agility and reaction, thus reducing initiative.    The penalties for over stacking are severe.   The way around it is the FFBA.   

[Ingo Monk]

Yeah it blows.   It says if either ballistic/impact is greater than body*2 a -1 occurs to agility and reaction, thus reducing initiative.    The penalties for over stacking are severe.   The way around it is the FFBA.

Yeah the wording here isn't specific enough for my liking, which is why in the OOC thread I said it's up to KV.  It implies that if any one of the armor attributes goes over BOD*2 then apply the penalty, but it doesn't specifically say each armor attribute should be calculated for the penalty. 

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/either?s=t
1. one or the other of two: You may sit at either end of the table.
2. each of two; the one and the other: There are trees on either side of the river.

Here's how I see those definitions in reference to this situation:
1. Choose one, ignore the other
2. 2 choices, both options matter and should be tracked

So yeah...


-Ingo

[Ruski]

I wouldn't worry about it either way, Kid runs his games like I do. If it works for the PC's, it works dor the NPC's. so if everyone is wearing form fitting body armor on the team, then all the security guards will have it too. free points are free points. It sounds like he's just going with what 'chummer' says. perhaps the programmers interpited the rules a certan way, and thats how they coded it; but whatever tge result, know the badguys you are shooting will be rolled up using the same ruleset.
so: do you want free tank armor bad enough to have to shoot through it on every mook you encounter? my experience: it all works out as a wash either way.
