Personally, I'd rather not be in the middle of a gang war in the first place.

Ruski, I do have to correct you on one point: If you aim beyond one Combat Phase, you cannot apply combat pool to that attack without losing the aim bonus. Addtionally, you may only aim a number of times equal to half your skill level for the respective weapon.

well, normally i'm fast enough to get two actions in one combat phase.

I didn't actually know about the 'half  the skill level bit', I only knew about the maximum of '3' where the aiming maxes out so it goes something like:

Pass 1:
Simple Aim
Simple Aim

Pass 2:
Simple Aim
Simple Fire

and that's all there was.

I'd take my four dice, add four combat pool, and have target numbers of like 2 or three.

Yeah, every pass is another combat phase, so you couldn't use your combat pool anyway. Still, rolling 4 dice against target number of three isn't that shabby when you consider all the dodgin' you can do with the extra combat pool.

Letters yes, but 1337 5P34|< is mostly numbers :P


I spend too much time reading defunct Shadowrun manuals to do anything else :P

You should check out  megatokyo- it's a great-looking webcomic. The artwork is incredible, and the storylines (although a little manga-ish) are believable and most of the time really funny.

You might not like it, but you'll never know if you don't try.

Not yet, anyway.

I'm betting it does something awesome like transports them into video-game worlds.

Oh, and hey- ROOTless- what does "WWBMD?" mean? What would ___ ____ do? Who is BM?

That would be cool.
