((Question, is it possible to take a mental action, such as causing some pain and distacting noise, while still attempting to escape without suffering penalties?? Or does that require full concentration in order to do?))
Normal penalties for multiple actions will apply, but your talents can seriously screw up their AT and make getting away easier if they work.

There is Grandeur in the View of Life; it fills me with a Deep Wonder, and Intense Cynicism.
CorSec, if you knew you were going to use a shotgun (I'm talking more about the one in your inventory than the Mossberg under the bar) from time to time, why didn't you put any points in Rifle? You would have been better off if you had used your Sig for that shot. Well, maybe not too much better off, seeing as how .45 ACP would never get through their armor, but at least you might have stood a chance and hitting them. Hell, maybe it would have been a throat shot. Anyway, I'm rambling. The point is that you should put some points in Rifle when you get them.

The shotgun was a last minute addition to my arsenal. As it was, I simply didn't remember to adjust my point spread. Now that I've made my bed, so to speak, it makes for a better (more interesting) character to role play.

Way ahead of you, boss. Consider this skirmish a life changing experience.

Blaine wrote:He'd lost track of him after Stacey Alvarez walked through. Of all the gin joints in all the world, why'd she have to walk into mine?
It seems he was known to associate with an ex-employee, Stacey Alvarez, but given that she always travels with dangerous people, they have never bothered to interrogate her yet.
Poor, poor Stacey.
Exposition: The last time Blaine saw Stacey was eight months ago. They had been seeing one another, off and on, for a month or so before that. (If queried, he'd say they were "just friends" and it was the truth. They hadn't made it much past heavy petting on the couch.) Blaine was falling for her, and hard, until he had that trouble with VAST. To top it off, Stacey inexplicably seemed to fall off the face of the earth. His feeling for her turned in on itself, morphing into a resentment. When she slipped past him at The Third Degree he was torn between shaking some sense into her and absconding with her so they might continue where they left off. For good or bad, Blaine is a duty first kind of guy.

This is what makes GMing truly worthwhile, I just let the story flow from the players and don't have to think up squat

Have Office, will travel... or something like that. Generally looks good, just a few things here and there.
1. FP should be 20.
2. Impact resistance should be 8 / 10.
3. MP7 ammo is medium by default, FMJ rounds are cheap.
G36C-7 ammo is cheap by default, FMJ rounds are really cheap.
USP 45 ammo medium, FMJ cheap.
USAS-12 ammo medium (why would you use birdshot against a human target?)
I'll let you calculate the ammo costs from there

To slow them down, rather than kill them, to cause pain, and to act as a skeleton key against certain doors without having to worry too much about injuring people on the other side.

Okay, but what about Hollowpoint, Expanding Full Metal Jacket, and Steel Cored (AP) roungs?

Those all cost the default amount, only FMJ and explosive costs more or less (and DU, but I don't think we need to worry much about that).

I would prefer to say that the good doctor is the only person with standard morals in the group. We are all pretty decent people all things considered.

Oh and if he needs to use it, he will use it. But then again, it isnt something he relishes doing. He USED to use his telepathy to help people with their problems... But it has other uses.

P.S. The crash pad with a good security system is fine, but don't take it as a license to start pulling stuff out of your ass. ie. "I go back to my crash pad and let the robotic centries and gatling turrets make short work of my pursuers." That would be STGOD-ish

I wouldn't take the moral high ground with Dr. Lennox. Sure, he's a saint compared to Dirk, Ernesto, or Mikal, but blowing up factories and screwing people's minds up isn't exactly model citizen behavior.
EDIT: And really, who isn't a saint compared to those three?
