I got the RED, 2020, and 2013 manuals if anyone needs it, it's an epub too so I can just search words easier
You got Cyberpunk 2013 main manual? , specifically "The Roleplaying Game of the Dark Future"

I can't find it.

And what I sent earlier isn't it, my bad
 
Btw I was wondering how we're going to handle the Tabletop aspect of Cyberpunk

Reffering to dice rolls, stuff like that

Afaik going by other game systems I think we either use averages or difficulty ratings for stuff.

So like, a REF 17 > REF 8 which is the minimum needed to avoid Gunfire. Or a DC 20 check > DC 15 check which is needed to lift a car.

We just can't scale them linearly without evidence iirc.

I still don't get this. But I'll look around.

I've seen some nanoseconds thing in the lore book. Seems to be talking about how fast weaponized machinery can process and carry out commands. How do you interpret that

Could be scaled to reaction speed depending on some factors. However likely to be an outlier.

As of now, just seems like they process shit really fast.

maybe it's not, because the sandevistan can do things like make your movement and reaction speed such that it looks like teleportation (this varies depending on what plot needs to be x time faster)

I mean, yeah, but nanosecond reaction time would be Rela to FTL perception.

I've dealt something more ancient, but that's another topic. Remember that Cyberpunk series starts in the 1980s.
Made a WIP profile for Adam Smasher. P&A still needs to be worked on, along with a bunch of other stuff. But that's what I got now.

I also don't know what quote to use so I just threw two of the Edgerunner lines in there for now.
As his first two keys are based on his appearance in pen and paper games, maybe the new standard D&D profiles in VS Battles Wiki can be considered as a sample when making Cyberpunk profiles involving pen and paper series.

By the way, while there is no doubt that Adam Smasher has Cybernetization,
  • Normal - the whole outer shell of the body is replaced with cybernetic devices are only human internal organs (and even then not all). This cyborg can resist adverse environmental effects (eg, ignore the high or low temperatures) or quickly adapt to them. In addition, it can convert almost all of his body into weapons. However, the internal organs are still vulnerable, and if they are destroyed, the cyborg will die.
  • Full - replacing exposed everything except the brain (and in some cases, it also remains a copy of the human consciousness that is used as a substitute for the AI). These cyborgs have virtually no weaknesses (you need to disable all of them, otherwise they will continue to function). However, they are humans with a very big stretch (as in fact they do not differ from the robots).
applies to Adam Smasher's different key. 2077 key is Full, but IDK about his first two keys.
 
Does this take precedence over this scan from Cyberpunk RED (pg. 292)

Cyberpunk RED doesn't indicate any but the "Firestorm Vol II Shockwave The Fourth Corporate War" supplement supposedly has his statblock, let me look there
 
Just checked and found it online, if you're asking for Adam Smasher's 'Strength' then his rating would be 18
Adam Smasher, Combat Cyborg

Stats:
INT 4, REF 15, TECH 4, COOL 7, ATTR n/a, LUCK 4, MA 20, BODY 18, EMP Yeah right...

Skills: Combat Sense +7, Ahletics +4, Awareness/Notice +6, Brawling +6, Dodge & Escape +, Driving +2, Handgun +5, Heavy Weaons +7, Intimidate +6, Melee +5, Panzerfaust +2, Rifle +6, Stealth +4, Submachinegun +4, Weapons Tech +2

Cyberware: Full cyborg body, two sets of interface plugs, chip slot, pain editor, link set (smartgun, vehicle data), optics suite (low-lite, thermograph, Times Square Plus, targeting scope, anti-dazzle), cyberaudio (radio, tight-beam radio, and cellular links with scrambler, scanner, enhanced range, amplified hearing, sound editor, level damper), wolvers in both arms, quick-change mounts, radiation shielding, biopod. Adam is built on a heavily modified Samson frame, and typically wears SP 20 armored coveralls when he's on the job (giving him a total SP of 42)
 
I think it moreso depends what those comics tie into, if they're 2013, 2020, RED and 2077 spin-offs, I'd say they're canon
 
Well if it's only some events, the statblock shouldn't really be a problem for even a rough idea of Adam's capabilities. It still falls under Cyberpunk 2020's umbrella more or less, with some parts revised by the new continuity.

I think we have to decide on that. Going by the in-universe damage numbers I think the bomb is more likely to be bigger than it is smaller.

We would need to find what a Samson body frame is and what STR means for like, lifting/striking strength
 
Alright, I updated the profile more. I'm not sure how to word the standard equipment section. Can anyone help with that?

We also need to get the calc for David approved of and we need to get an actual speed for his last key. Can anyone do those?
I'm interested in Adam Smasher's Hacking justification. May I ask for reference?

For the Standard Equipment, I feel that "a canonical set of equipment" is considered as standard equipment as stated in Standard Equipment.
 
Adam Smasher uses the Samson body frame, the scan of which is linked next to the Hacking, anyone with the Samson body frame able to connect to most appliances and tech and modify, much like how V plugs up to surfaces to begin hackin

I made a blog for the calc but I'm at work currently so I can't finish inserting all the info from site the calc is on into the blog until tomorrow as for a speed rating I'd say hypersonic works as a place holder for rn scaling to V until we can actually calc some feats which I can't do rn either obviously because of work again
 
Baken of The 384 Family is in the 6th episode, this makes me want to play 2077 after not playing it for a year
