Sound suppressors are pretty cheap.

I'm not looking to cheese or powergame anything, I'm just trying to find a way to make bow-fire not inferior to guns in pretty much every way. Being stylistic and cool is a fun OOC concept, but IC my character is LOG 3, so average intelligence, and knowingly choosing a favored weapon that is unusual and thus distinctive (makes him easier to track) for the sole purpose of making his job of hurting people and breaking things harder is very hard to justify. That, and it's getting increasingly complicated OOC, which I don't like as a new player, I just want to be ninja troll.


Of course, I could always pull an end-run around the cash rules by spending the bow+arrow money on a Standard Credstick, but that's both very weasely and would need cooperation from a PC with actual Negotiation to help me in the Availability test.

It's not 8 damage, though...it's 6. 8 damage I could live with, and eventually buy up to 10....but the rules say you cap your damage at the lower of the Bow rating or the Arrow rating, and while a Rating 6 bow would deal 8 damage, Rating 6 Arrows only deal 6 damage, equivalent to a low-grade assault rifle or a good heavy pistol. I can't burst fire or full auto fire with a bow, the way I can with most firearms, so it's 6 damage per shot compared to 8-12 damage/shot at no recoil penalty.

One arrow from a bow = DV6, no AP, simple action to shoot (would be a Complex action to shoot+reload if I didn't have the Quick Draw adept power). Costs 30 nuyen per shot.
One burst fire from an AK-97 w/ Gas-3 vent, underbarrel weight, and hip pad brace = DV8, AP -1, simple action to shoot, and costing 60 nuyen a shot.
One full-auto burst from said AK-97 = DV11, AP -1, simple action, no penalties on the first shot and a -1 penalty on the second shot. Costs 120 nuyen a shot, so the most expensive option though.

That's not the interpretation I'd take from it.  Arrows don't have a listed damage, only the bow has a listed damage.  It's under the bow where it says to "Calculate base damage using the lower value of the bow rating or the arrow rating."  Since there's no calculation given for arrows, just for bows, I'm 99% certain that it just means to use the lower of (Arrow rating) or (bow rating) for the bow's damage of (STR Min+2).

Besides, if it were otherwise, there'd be no point to Rating 7 or 8 bows, and that's weird.

Up to you what weapon you go with, of course.  Snapping dudes' necks is also fun.  You could probably pick two guys up, and bang their heads together!

Sethala

Yeah, I think I agree with FT; you use whichever rating is the lowest, then add 2 for the damage.  It's a bit wonky because the table lists "strength minimum" instead of "rating" +2 for bow damage, but there's no strength minimum on arrows.

Snapping necks means disposing of bodies, though, and is a good way to get the heavy squads sent out after you. And I'm pretty sure banging two dudes' heads together means I have to find the grappling rules, bane of RPGs since the dawn of time.

As for the Bow/arrow damage...I like that reading, but I don't know if it's right. A Rating 8 bow would just need Rating 10 arrows to do max damage, so even more money/shot.

Maybe this is all intentional, and the designers actually wanted bows to exist, but be a clearly inferior/more complicated option than just bullets? It'd fit with the stylistic tone of the cyberpunk genre, since bows are decidedly non-futuristic and non-punk, but I wish it was clear if that was their plan. Not that DV14 anti-tank rifle arrows were actually better...at least in 3E you could have a 'bow' firing arrows made from rebar, which while very silly could probably punch through armor.

Would love help on what gear to get and maybe if any other augmentations.

I'm not sure that you can take the Hawk Eye quality along with cybereyes.  Otherwise, a decent sniper rifle, your drones, possibly a van if one of your drones is large.  Maybe something that boosts agility such as muscle replacement (not sure how it works with the arm offhand, would have to look that up).  Something like that great coat line for armour, as it adds to concealability.  Not sure what else offhand.  Maybe a grappling hook.  Otherwise, just usual mix of stuff such as your comlink and similar.

-=-=-

I would assume that you only need an arrow of the same rating as the bow to get the str+2 damage.  So a rating 6 arrow would do 8 damage.

It's the same reading I was just about to post myself.  You factor the lower, then add the 2 for the bow.

If you have Runner's Companion, there's a 5bp positive quality Restricted Gear which lets you buy one particular thing of up to 20.  Jaded may let you buy the bow and arrows as a set (which makes some pretty obvious sense) to only have the 5bp once, if she allows the quality since it's not in the core.
It's all good, and it's all in fun.  Now get in the pit and try to love someone.

That quality does not allow higher Ratings, though, as previously mentioned, only higher Availability, and those are two separate limits. I'm also capped out on Positive Qualities, and couldn't lose either of them (Adept or Type O system) without literally rebuilding my character from the ground up.

Jaded has ruled the happy way on the bow/arrow damage, though, so I'm better off to start after all. I just need to reassess my cash expenditures to account for the cheaper bow and more expensive arrows.

Guess I missed it before. Sorry

Well, I need to leaf through the sections again after work, but I'm not seeing much I actually want to get for cyberware/bioware.  So I may skip out on that for now and just worry about lifestyle price and what skills I want to cut back on (kinda went overboard picking them, to be honest), and then pick out a contact or two.

For now though, my (currently slightly over-budget) character: http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=573486

Hopefully I did this right. Will upload fluff soon.

It is always hard to stay within the BP limit ;)

Actually I was quite a bit under-budget until I decided to go on a skill shopping spree :P

Quite a few things I don't think I need, so pruning will be easy.

Ok, I'm just about finished with the character, only need to figure out lifestyle and a few minor things to drop some extra money on (probably more ammo).  I'm thinking either one month of medium lifestyle, or two months of low.

Before I pin that down though, does anyone want to have their character as my roommate?  We actually pay less for two people living together (it's an extra 10% per person, but we can split the cost), and it gives us a reason to know each other a bit more.

Muse

I wouldn't mind, Sethala, though I already have down a Depednent NPC Roomate, so it would be three.  *shrugs*

Could you note them somewhere on the sheet itself please?  Unless I am missing them, has been a long day ;)  Thanks.

Anyone who has finished their character (or at least a first draft) please post it in the character sheet thread, I'll start going over them in detail as I have time, though it may be a bit to get through it all.  Once everyone has posted a sheet, I'll start the IC as I look over them.

Slightly modified and posted my sheet. I upped my Fame quality to National and took the 5 point Day Job quality to balance it out.

Oh shoot I need to get fake licenses too. Guess I still need to tweak my sheet a bit...

== Background ==
Marisa was borned to a small mixed Japanese, Cinese, Caucasian, and Hispanic family in the middle of Chicago when her family moved out just 3 years before the infamous Bug Incident in Chicago. Her family was devestated by this news but lucky that they were able to get out of the city before the mess even happened. The loss of her friends and the horror Spurred Marisa to join the military of the UCAS where her skills at marksmenship earned her a place in the Special Forces. Early on in her earlier missions, one of her squadmates turned rogue, betraying their country and wiping out the remainder of her squad and leaving Marisa to die, covered in the blood of her new friends... Having survived she begged for a chance to take down the traitor but the UCAS said the traitor had gone into foreign lands. In a foolish rage, she quit her position and set out on her own to find the traitor, living in the streets and teaching herself to become a sillent assassin to finish off her target. A few years later, she finally put 1 between the head of her target. It felt good, too good. This had to be the job for her...But was t right? Learning from the streets and improving herself, Marisa has become a shadowrunner, working for whoever needs her talents in recon and assassination, all the while wonder if this was the life worth living or not.

Ah, didn't realize that was a mechanical thing (I only have the 20th anniversary book, no supplements; apparently dependents are in RC).  Yeah, that works, just need to figure out what the cost would be for the apartment.  What would the monthly cost be for each of us, then?  I have no idea what dependents cost...

Here's Hathaway House: 

Hathaway house
   In the middle of a run down neighborhood currently controlled by the Yakuze is a house over a hundred years old.  Called Hathaway House, it looks particularly ramshackle on the outside—save for the extensive gardens of herbs, vegetables, and even a few flowers tended by two puttering drones—but inside it’s been heavily restored by it’s tenants. 

   The primary reason this house slipped through the cracks is the minor free spirit who took up residence here early in the fifth world.  She’s shy, and a little mischievous, but her influence makes this a great place for a hermetic mage to live and work.
