Adept. Punching fools a million miles into the sky is the best way to get them to respect the fine sport of baseball. Also, you can chrome up pretty good and basically become a walking death machine.

Kami is clearly Dottie (Geena Davis's character). Definitely has the mind of a catcher, too.

My main argument against shammy is that they're a support class and thus a bit boring.

wiegieman posted:Shamans spend most of their time buffing, and they contribute a lot because their buffs are good, but "cast haste" isn't the most exciting gameplay. Yeah, I love having Dietrich along as well as the Hong Kong shaman because they're extremely useful support characters and also both well designed, fun to be around characters, but I like my main to have some oomph and frankly Shamans are lacking in that department when compared to adept and mage.

Teddy loving Ballgame is right- Jesus H Christ couldn't get him out. Neither could Bunning, The Kid slashed .377/.500/.852 against Bunning in 61 career at bats. For non baseball fans, that line would be the best ever by any player to ever play the game by a very large margin.

I'm all for someone with the chops to mod in better baseball bats helping the McD with this. We can start off with the plain ol' $20 Rawlings ash wood bat, upgrade to various aluminum bats, have a corked bat in there somewhere with sweet crit rates but lower damage, and then finally have our infinity +1 weapon be a Louisville Slugger maple wood bat.

Re: VITAS: VITAS was a plague that wiped out a quarter of the global population in the early 21st century across two huge epidemics in 2010 and 2022. It massively destabilized nation states and is part of what allowed Megacorps to start exercising so much power. Re: Aztechnology: They're feared in the shadows, and they have shockingly good PR in the regular-folks world. But they're not invulnerable- they'd probably lose a straight up fight to Saeder-Krupp, for example, or against the military of the United Canadian and American States (UCAS). The thing that really makes them scary, though, is the blood magic bit. Blood magic helps the gibbering horrors from beyond find their way to earth, and if they get here everyone's dead or wishing they were whether they're a dragon or a doormouse. Aztechnology is all about blood magic at the higher corporate echelons, and it's their most closely held secret because if the truth got out about how deep they were into it pretty much every dragon in the world would make it priority #1 to exterminate the Azzies.

Oh, UCAS would end up screwed too if the other Megacorps took notice of them massively violating corporate extraterritoriality (and they would).* But that doesn't stop UCAS from being a heavy hitter in the military capacity field. By way of example, Saeder-Krupp is the only megacorp able to field a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, while UCAS has several. Likewise, milspec weapons and armor are generally top of the line and better than what most megacorporation security forces wield. Of course, it'd never come to that fight because the establishments of nominally democratic nation states are entirely riddled by megacorp influence and on top of that so many of your citizens have jobs at subsidiaries of those megacorps if they're not outright corporate citizens. * Aztechnology tried to do this in Aztlan by having the nation start to nationalize other megacorp holdings in the country... and it did not go great for them.

Run Prep: Kami is analytical, she's going to research and recon her target before busting in. Partner: We're breaking into Aztechnology, we gotta scoop their data while we're doing it- and Hailey is the only one who can do that. SIN: Pony up for the good stuff, it's going to get us a lot further than the Matrix-only version Hailey would give us. Purchases: If we've got the money for it, we should get fuckin' CHOME, baby. Get the cheapest top quality chrome available right now, no point in wasting nuyen and essence on a mediocre cyberarm.

Lux Animus posted:What are the available Chi Casting Spells? That's a good point. Also good to keep in mind is that Chome will hurt our chi-casting ability- leaving us with fewer spellbook pages to fill. I'd love to get Stride, the passive buff is great for a melee combatant like an adept. It requires Chi-Casting of 4, though. Mystic Armor is also great, but needs Chi-Casting 8 so it'll be a while before we could use it. Killing hands is good, and I think we start with it, except we're using weapons instead of our bare fists.

I one hundred percent believe that Emperor Norton I would be just like this if he were to be plopped into the Shadowrun-verse. He was such an awesome, weird dude.
