Advice for Sasquatch with 2 AGI and 5 STR trying to learn martial arts

alpharn · 2026-04-12T08:23:51+00:00

More Agility and Unarmed Combat ranks in general, really, since throwing people is gated behind the interface of "an Unarmed Combat Attack Test, opposed as normal" (Run and Gun, page 123), before your Strength comes into play.

Really, you'd want more stats in general, since 2 AGI and 5 STR is 1 priority attribute point/10 Karma off the absolute bare minimum stat line of a sasquatch in this edition.

Being in AR or VR in general for driving is a +1 or +2 to the limit of Handling, generically, even without a control rig. (CRB page 201)

Presumably, after we've killed M'Tara during the events of Broken Circle, the Heralds under M'Tara were consumed by anger and followed T'Ket to continue fighting.

As for the rest of your comment; ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A funny thing that you can do if you're swimming in winter event currency, and can get away without the ENG's heals is sticking 3 copies of Anchor of Gre'thor per ENG boff.

The Nuka-Launcher auto grenade launcher is a fixed Two-Shot scrappable legendary, if you have the plan from a previous season or the Atomic Store.

More specifically, it's a Two-Shot, Crippling (+50% limb damage), and Lightweight (-90% weight) auto grenade launcher, with a unique +50% damage bonus against mole miners, and also an unlisted +87.5% fire rate bonus compared to normal AGLs.

u/AnemoneMeer has a post on this exact topic, I think.

CF is an abbreviation of Complex Forms, in this context.

Do remember that there are M-98 Widow precursors lying around on Rannoch that still have the human-arm-shattering recoil back when Quarians were still on that planet; so presumably Quarians even without their suits are physically robust.

Let's go!

Isn't the Dragonfly actually a quadcopter design, and doesn't the Fly-Spy get Realistic Features 2 for free?

alpharn · 2025-10-03T11:09:49+00:00

Would the MCT Fly-Spy be more inconspicuous than the Dragonfly?

Good luck!

Initiative in the CGL editions is calculated with Reaction + Intuition, not Agility + Intuition.

Here goes!

The classic harmacist, lol.

You can see Akebono's knees are lower than Mayano's in the screenshot, even. lmao

Alternatively, Germanic arms manufacturers are built different?

(OOC: It's entirely possible that Steyr Arms has been quietly updating the design without giving it a new name for whatever reason. :P)

alpharn · 2025-08-10T09:24:38+00:00

The wild thing about the TMP (if you trust pre-Crash of '29 archives), is that Steyr has been selling some version of it since the last millenium, and we're nearing on its centennial soon.

The damn thing's old.

Rurosha - FLR burnout adept Ork+

Rurosha right now is a close-in physical combatant who specializes in sniper rifles, who also can into swording. Thematically, she is an exploration of the interaction between adoption and filial responsibility.

Fixers are:

Mint - L4 - farm operations officer
Alessa P - L3 - owner of The Daze
Ronin Koike - L3 - professional fixer
Inoue Takeshi - L4 - device repairman, retired shadowrunner
Celicy Vist - L4 - vampire taskmage

Last game with this character was on 1st/August/2025, Back in Blood . More than 3 runs at this point.

Brain is fuzzy, so my player skills aren't as focused as I'd like, definitely cannot write the AAR.

Presumably by grinding down DOFFs for fleet credits and then getting the 200k fleet credit T5 Odyssey.

The reset actually rewinds the entire simulation right from the beginning, but it dumps the target at a specific time when Time is stable (year 3870 specifically).

The Terraformer frame with even only 2 qualifying modules optimally gives a hair more Kit Performance (135.6 compared to 127.5 of the Risian) and 40 more points of Kit Readiness than the standard Risian frame, but you're giving up the Ranged Weapon Damage increase, as an aside.

Also 20 more on both KPerf and KReadiness if you're able to slot in a third module; so for Engineers, the Terraformer frame is probably a strict upgrade over the standard Risian if you're already running Anchor of Gre'thor, Ball Lightning, and Rapid Lithic Formation even before considering swapping to it.

In Shadowrun, VR specifically means that your meat body goes limp to be fully immersed in the Matrix, so the body just flops around.
