If all you look at is the Physical strength and toughness then I think you miss the boat. If that were all that mattered, why don't bears, lions, tigers, elephants, etc. rule the planet? Man proved along time ago it's not just about how tough, fast, or strong you are. But if you follow the "Pa...

So in game context things can be evil? Of course. It's right there in the rules. Or are we still debating real life semantics? We're still doing that, because people think that "Evil" is subjective, and that therefore the rules of the game make no sense. Not that the rules of the game mak...

But, in the long run there aren't going to be a lot of weapons in say...

Since I am now thinking about female Juciers, imagine the knockers a female Titan Juicer would have?

Here's the thing... GM's see players taking it for the extra action per melee, that is it. Especially in M.D.C. environments, you aren't going to have many characters who are not supernatural to begin with going unarmed. Think about what it takes to learn how to box; next to nothing.

On a tangent, I always felt the idea that someone can use a 2 handed weapon 1 handed is silly. You're ability to use such a weapon would boil down to having the enormous strength to handle that 3rd class lever (the strength needed being multiplied by the mechanical advantage of the longer blade or ...

Also, re-read the Danzi write up. They [i]could[i] be Barbarian Warriors, but aren't likely to be so. In fact as GM I'd make a Danzi PC stick to the OCC's mentioned.

If you allow a character to change classes, would you allow a Nega-Psychic to become an Obsidian Spell Thief? The crux is that Nega-Psychics (from Psyscape) are immune to curses.

I use the same fix as Dustin Fireblade - divide the cost of all armor repairs, ammo, & e-clip recharging by 10. Armor is so bleeping expensive that replacing it when damaged or destroyed isn't an available option to most adventurers, who live hand-to-mouth. Far better to let them take care of t...

The correct answer is "because a human slave is worth more as a slave, than a terrorist threat". Terrorize one tropper at a time or still have the boding "cross into my realm and I will sell you to the highest bidder and that bidder aint payin much"
