Do I still need to update my character, GWG?

Not unless you want to turn back into a dwarf.

[Brawler Mouse]

Is there a skill or ability modifier for healing? Medicine, got it. Can I swap one of my three in parkour and six in unarmed for two medicine? On a totally unrelated note, is a roll of bandages something I'd need noted in my gear? I believe the OP said anything you're bringing into the arena.

You only need to spare a couple skill points for the 2 in Medicine. Just decide where it's coming from and you're changed.

It's not standard, so if you're bringing it mention it.

[Brawler Mouse]

Yes, I'm bringing a roll of bandages, and raising medicine to two by lowering parkour to two and unarmed to five.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Alright then. Modifications made.

Being unfamiliar with Shadowrun and RtD (this is my first game). Do our ability scores modify our skills in any way? If so, which are associated? If not, what do they do? Also, what is an overshot as mentioned in the OP?

[Persus13]

what is an overshot as mentioned in the OP?

In RTDs rollin a 1-2 is a failure, 3 is a partial success, 4-5 are success, and 6 is a success so over the top it hurts, or an overshot.

Ex. Opening a door
(1) You headbut the door hurting your head
(2) You fail to open the door
(3) you partially open the door but there is something blocking it from opening completley
(4) you open the door
(5) You open the door knocking out someone who was about to attack you on the other side
(6) you burst through the door, wooden slivers hurt everyone in the room including you. Classic overshot.

[Urist_McDrowner]

Still space?

[Devling]

We have, what, 6 or 7 out of 13?
Yeah, we have lots of room.
All us clowns. In this goddamn clown car. Join the party.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Persus: I thought I had fixed your character. I'll check.

Brawler Mouse: While Abilities don't affect skills in Shadowrun, and they don't directly do so here, most (say) shooting rolls will use modifiers from both Dexterity and the appropriate Gun Skill.

And we have plenty of space. We don't have any Heavies or Bangers, but we do have a Blaster, an Outrider, and a Medic.

and a bunch of scouts.

In the SP (second post) you still have my old sheet.

[Urist_McDrowner]

wait, am I missing something? Abilities are attributes, right?

[Parisbre56]

This looks like fun. I don't know anything about Shadowrun but I'd like to join anyway. Got room for a Banger?

Here's the character sheet, mostly melee combat oriented. He'll probably be useful for attack and defense and for being a tank. Especially in the late game, when guns start running out of ammo.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name:Alan "Smash" Gazeer
Gender: Male
Race: Ork (+2 STR, +3 BDY, -1 DEX, -1 INT, low light vision, +1 to rolls to destroy stuff)
Appearance: 2m high, Muscular and thick skinned, Dark skin with a hint of green, dark brown eyes
Bio: Alan was never very bright to begin with, even for an ork. He always meant well but his attempts to help others usually resulted in destruction. He couldn't help it. Smashing stuff was fun.

Frustrated with his failures, he volunteered for an enhancement program run by a megacorp, believing they could help him with his destructive urges. However the "enhancement program" was nothing but a nice name for combat augmentation research (Alan was never one to read the fine print). The experiments left him with incredible strength and endurance, however they also further diminished his brainpower. Having gained the info they needed, the corporation discarded him, seeing no further use for him.

However Alan doesn't care about all that stuff now. So what if it hurt if he tried to think for more then a few seconds? He became better at smashing stuff. And now he has friends that also like smashing stuff, with whom he can have fun with, even if he doesn't always understand what they're saying. He believes entering Urban Brawl was the best choice in his life.

In his spare time Alan enjoys smashing stuff and drinking with friends, sometimes at the same time.
