@rush99999
Sorry, I've played far too many games with orcs/orks in them and my brain just sees them as synonyms now. *Checks rulebook* It's orks in this one.

@JaceBeleren @rush99999

I might go with a rigger, anyway I'll handle getting the groups (main)vehicle

@Duthguy

After checking the book, I've decided my class will be Street Samurai.

[JaceBeleren]

@Duthguy Thanks for getting the book, should've thought of that myself. You have no idea how much time you've just saved me.

[Duthguy]

@JaceBeleren When checking out the rigger sample I noticed there was bot a car and car b/r skill, what is the difference? I have no idea since I can't find the car b/r skill anywhere in the book

[rush99999]

@JaceBeleren

Out of curiosity, could you give me some examples of common troll names in the Shadowrun Universe?

[JaceBeleren]

@rush99999 A lot of trolls were actually originally humans. The way UGE (the thing that caused orcs, trolls, dwarves and elves to turn up) works is that a pair of humans would have a child and during puberty the child's metahuman traits would start to show (with the exception of dwarves, who simply stop getting taller after hitting about 4 feet). If a pair of trolls were to have a child, it would have probably have a typical human name since if you go back far enough all trolls have only human ancestors, same thing with elves, orcs and dwarves. So basically a typical troll name is a typical human name.

[JaceBeleren]

@Duthguy A lot of skills have a b/r variant skill. This is short for build/repair. Basically, someone with the car b/r knows how to fix or even build a car from scratch, assuming they have the correct materials and tools. Skills with b/r variants include all vehicle and weapon skills, the electronics skill, and computers skill. To find out whether a skill has a b/r variant, it will be written at the end of the skill description. All b/r skills are paid for seperately to the primary skill (most people who know how to drive a car still couldn't fix bullet holes in it), and use intelligence.

@JaceBeleren I see

[Duthguy]

@JaceBeleren In what city will we start? Important for street knowledge. Also should we put knowledge under skills or somewhere else?

[JaceBeleren]

@Duthguy Tokyo, JIS. Put knowledge under skills but group actives, knowledges and languages.

[Duthguy]

@JaceBeleren Should we put knowledge skills under skills or somewhere else?

[JaceBeleren]

Working on an example CS, will be up tomorrow if everything goes to plan.

Can anyone link a download to the 3e handbook?

[JaceBeleren]

@rush99999You can find those in the handbook

@Duthguy

@Ollumhammersong Here

I have impeccable timing, clearly. Responding to a post less than a minute after it's put up, when having only just logged on after being logged off for two hours?
Simply perfect. My OCD loves me for it.

[Ollumhammersong]

why 3e?

[JaceBeleren]

@OllumhammersongI don't like some of the changes they made in 4e, which they carried on into 5e. Plus, what first got me into it was a Youtube rp in 1e. It was easier for me to learn the game with more similar mechanics to the original, because that was basically my first understandng of it.

[Duthguy]

@JaceBeleren You didn't use any knowledge skills for Edge, but I'm guessing they should be under regular skills?

[Ollumhammersong]

4e was a clusterfuck of dice to accomplish anything. But i did like it for going into detail on a lot of things. And i actually didn't mind the character creation on it. 5e is alright. I haven't sat down and played it often enough to say whether it is shit or not.
