I wonder if anyone is brave enough to take -2 Fate and be a disaster magnet.

Hmm. Maybe it would be possible to give a non-augmented human a strength roll every time they try to use an overweight weapon?  An exoskeleton or synthflesh would completely remove the roll. That way humans could still use big guns, but it would be a lot riskier. It would make the strength stat more relevant, give semi-noobs more options, and give Piecewise more chances to injure us.
I imagine PW might allow that if it comes up, but I think the armory is more to see what your options are. And I don't really see people buying guns that are too heavy for them to use, at least not on purpose.

Is it odd that when the recording mentioned that there was no best answer I immeadietly thought that it was fucking wrong? I was mean, when your told that something went full flesh horror you fucking burn that shit. No offence to Xan, it's simply a matter of risk versus reward.

There were many other options possible. But if you wanna imply we execute every trooper that acts dangerously stupid, that can certainly be arranged!

I'm sure Pancaek would love the exercise.
There'd be nobody left!

I liked it for the context, but I don't need it all spelled out like this. I was kinda shocked when you said Xan had no powers and I didn't have any other information; made it seem like it was just a one-off decision that was made in the IRC or something. But it doesn't seem like such a big swing when you get a little context.

Get nekkid. Put on the Skinsuit.

So, let's see..

At least for stats, it was my understanding that they don't grant straight numerical bonuses, but are taken into account when trying to do actions that your gear might influence.

Like, imagine that you have a normal human, a synthflesh person, and an Avatar all with a +1 in strength. For a given action (pick up a car over your head), it might be impossible for the normal guy, require a decent roll for the synthflesh person, and be an auto or near-auto success for the avatar. Same bonuses, different requirements for an action to be successful.

Express interest in Joker mission.

2X Application Combo! Also sign up for the everybody else mission if I don't get into Joker.

And the week-long waiting period strangely seems to coincide with the release. Hm...
Funny how that works, yeah? Though I imagine he's earned himself a little break.

597
Oh yeah, that game that he was super excited about came out yesterday, right?

That's the thing, there's just no real point to make a character with anything more than a single plus one or else you're neutering yourself in a bunch of other stuff.
-snip-That said, I understand why PW did it; to avoid people trying to minmax lots of -2s into skills they'll never use for bonuses to skills they will use a lot.
But they're just going to do that anyways won't they? They're just going to take a bit longer.

I know little more than you guys do, but I imagine Toaster has the right of it. There's nothing stopping you from trying to just max your character, but minmaxing (which is a little different) will be hard. I guess the question boils down to: how specialized should a newbie fresh out of the box be?

No minmax for Eddie!
