Character Creation

Just to clarify
Soul sight is a focus, sounds useful
Spellcaster is an edge
Elf is an edge, right? what are it's benefits? Might take educated or prodigy instead.

Oh, I'm happy with what I rolled for my character's attributes. It's the friend roll that I found lame.

Ah I gotcha.
Oh I got it backwards lol. Spellcasting is Edge, metatypes are foci. Elf is Notice as bonus skill, +1 mod to Dex or Cha, and low-light vision.

I think I will go with Educated, The elf is a bit tempting but I like the growth potential. So I am a Human Cleric / spell caster. I should be done tonight.

Still here. Fever just broke today, should be on track tomorrow or later this week depending on how arcane the rules are. Sorry for the delay.

I do not have the full rules so it looks like I am limited to a human without magic. While I know Shadowrun I don't know Thailand at all, so I'm not sure how useful I'd be as a face. Do we need two Sams or two hackers?

You can pick up one of the races as a foci, brief info above in this thread, if you wish and nezzeraj offered to explain summoner if you wish.

@nezzeraj : any chance of getting a Unique Gift Foci? I was thinking either a "Arcane Affinity" or "Diving Grace" and model it after the All Natural foci. My idea is that it grants a bonus to the Cast skill (levels my skill up) and allows a minor magic (Like illumination) or Enhanced/altered spell effect at the same pace 1,3,5,7.

Faces are always useful, especially in Asian countries where honor and respect plays a big role in society!

I'll post any relevant rules for magic if you'd llke. Theres also rules for adepts if you want to make a magic monk, and summoners are always useful just a bit more complicated.

@Psybermagi No, I don't think so, sorry. Unique Gift says it shouldn't improve something you can already do and modelling it after All Natural seems like its trying to bypass the restriction that says it can't be used by magic users.

Ok, no worries, just looking for a way to add a bit more magic flair since I can't afford more spells yet.

@GreyGriffin, let me know if you are not interested in being a face. I was thinking of taking up that position as a charismatic religious leader of the downtrodden people who isn't afraid to fight the oppressive system to help supplement his charitable works.
Otherwise, if anyone has any suggestions for how to spread my skills to help the groups let me know.

Updated group
Psybermagi: Clergy Caster (Healer/Support/face?)
Furmyr: MMA Fighter
Tickettbror: Hacker
ForeverDED: Soldier, Specops
GreyGriffin: Face?

Yes, the philosophy of the Without Number magic systems is quality over quantity. The spells are much fewer but really powerful in my experience.

@GreyGriffin I don't mind redoing my character and making a face (assuming Nezzeraj is okay with me starting over) if you're having trouble finding a character to play.

Drone pilot is still a good option. I dug into it and by level 3 it had a decent amount of funds for drones.
I took Caster as I thought it was a good idea to have a bit of magic and the hacker can cover other tech.

I'd be willing to try and do Face but I have no real knowledge of Thailand, either IRL or in Shadowrun. This may result in an American pretending he knows what he's talking about and getting things pretty wildly wrong, whereas a more meat-headed or technical role isn't relying so heavily on cultural knowhow to navigate.

It's fictionalized Thailand where Japan has taken over a lot of it. It isn't really required to know much for this adventure. I will make sure you the player knows whatever your character would be expected to know.

I think I am good to go. With the heal, compel, illusion, detect spells, soul sight, and a henchmen follower and it should hopefully be a nice support role.

Are there any magic items to buy? If so any suggestions/options to boost my character as my $1k item? Otherwise I will just get better armor unless there are other needs/suggestions.

All right, with that caveat sort of laid out in the open, we'll see if my dice rolls absolutely tilt me in a different direction.

If this setting follows Cyberpunk/Shadowrun, as it seems to do, then unless you are working as a high ranking corporate officer all of the above can be very probable.

Ps, nice reminder to get a PC avatar, thanks :)

Any ideas on common ties? My guy is a local so I am open to neighborhood, social, or other ties. Any character not local to the area would likely have to have work ties.
