Uh.... I thought associating with insects as a mage isn't usually a good idea in Shadowrun. Sure you might not be an insect shaman but if you constantly throw around bug swarms people might not believe you don't.

Shadowrun: Speaking of modifications to missing numbers, for 5th edition the book about animals and wilderness etc is almost unbelievably bad. Apart from the normal poor layout, lack of editing, non-existent balance and trash quality you can expect it has no tables for the price or availability of animals. It has price and availability modification rules for if your dog dies and you want to clone it back (or want a second one I guess) or if you want to combine it with a porcupine or snake or whatever but nothing about the base values. I kept looking and looking until I gave up and googled it. The first result was from the official Shadowrun forums where someone was complaining about the lack of information and the author of the book replied how because not all the previous editions animal books had those numbers he didn't need to add them, heh :smug:.

The book also has some new mentor spirits but they're not in the index. Because instead of being ordered into their own little chapter they've been randomly sprinkled out around the book. But amazingly only one is a duplicate from an earlier book, with different stats of course.

Hang on, they only get that edge in the first round? If you are in a dark room shooting back and forth over ten rounds low light vision is only worth one edge in total?

Shadowrun: Have they fixed the vehicle speed issue from 5th edition? The speed stat was based on a linear scale but whoever did the table you needed to read in order to find out what a given speed value was in meters per round (in a completely different part of the book of course and you still had to manually convert it to km/h) was using an exponential curve for speed values so each rating was much faster than the previous. For some reason it also had walking and running rates for each speed. Is a car's speed value walking or running? Who knows. The totally average and common Ford Americar couldn't even manage 30km/h. Meanwhile you could use a spirit to boost the speed value until you quite easily broke the speed of light.

A lot of system gives you penalties at certain intervals below 100% hit points, if that matters.

The only evil in attacking those elves would be in smiting evil. The dragonlance modules really are terrible, almost as terrible as the authors.

An ogre tribal leader offers to buy one of the elves, dwarves, or kender from the party. They offer supplies, venison, or ogrish bone pieces.
Why wouldn't any party accept this deal? :v:

Wouldn't arrows aimed down go a lot further, and arrows going up shorter?
