If your wallet is gaĬertain other characters on the other hand, like street samurai for instance, have essence as their limiting factor. You can pour as much karma as you want into rigging, for example, but at a certain point that cheap old thing you started with is just flatly obsolete, and no amount of a few more stats points is going to help you in actual combat. You get that's kinda the exact point people are making, right?Ĭertain character types, like, well, riggers, deckers & shamans have by design a lot of money sinks in exchange for their power. I believe that the amount of money you need in this game strongly depends on you tactics and skills, and you can always find a nice solution of any problem with your limited resources. The trilogy with it, finished it with a small fortune on my account and have never been into any kind of a financial trouble. I don`t know why everybody talks about the financial aspect of Shadowrun Hong Kong, I started playing *Well, Shadowrun is definetely worth the effort
It may be, for example, a magically active shadowrunner, who suddenly woke up with cyber replacements after another milk run Now I also want to try someone tricky, say, a shaman/decker or a mage/street samurai. Originally posted by colonel.newage:I completed the whole trilogy with a shaman/mage (elf). Used mostly bio-ware with the exception of the NEXT implant (troll), so think I still ended with 3-4 essence, something. Dude was just bristling with tools and tricks. And even THEN you'd only get some of your last tools online in the bonus campaign.Īnyway, was pretty cool. but you'd basically need a guide, played the game already, and even then you'd probably need a spending spread sheet in your lap the whole game. Think it would be possible to get that sort of character going legitimatly, to be fair. Gonna be honest, though, I cheated myself an faux import character from Returns and Dragonfall for that one, since I was playing the whole trilogy in one go, and I'd already heard how stingy Hong Kong is with the money. Had a ton of fun with that character, even if he felt half at war with himself at times. Played a decker/rigger/physical adapt/cyber adapt my first time.
*Well, Shadowrun is definetely worth the effort :cyberdeck: It may be, for example, a magically active shadowrunner, who suddenly woke up with cyber replacements after another milk run :snaggletooth: Thanks to the expense, this playstyle may be better for Shamans who don't rely on expensive Fetishes, but it'll pay dividends when you find that you've got spells for every encounter the game throws at you.Originally posted by colonel.newage:I completed the whole trilogy with a shaman/mage (elf). Put levels into Willpower and Spellcasting and you can more than double your repertoire of spells - the issue will be fitting them all into your inventory and, of course, affording them all. If ranged damage is more your style, you could go for Quickness and a gun of your choice, but it almost makes too much sense to instead let your Shaman dabble in Mage areas instead. Speaking of, a melee Shaman is usually in a better position to take advantage of the Creator/Dove Totem ability and keep their spirits around for longer. Melee weapons tend to be cheaper than guns, which frees up more money for Spirit Fetishes. Increase their Close Combat and Melee Weapons and you've got a support-oriented front-liner who can flexibly switch between front-line damage and back-line support at the drop of a hat. Giving your Shaman some buffness with Strength is a particularly good option. While it is perfectly viable to go through the game with only your Charisma skills carrying you, Shamans do work very well when they are hybridized with other playstyles. The more points you put into this skill line, the more confident you can feel about giving your spirit three or four AP during your turn.

This skill line provides bonuses to any spirit you summon during battle, reducing the chance that it will break free at the start of its turn. If you decide to invest heavily into Spirit Summoning, you will also want to put Karma into Spirit Control. There are two extra bonuses you can get from the Spirit Summoning line - at level three you get to choose a Totem, which provides you with a unique skill of your choosing and usually has no narrative effects, and at level five, you get the ability to summon two spirits from the same summoning points (this ability does not work with Elemental Fetishes). These points are static and will not change from playthrough to playthrough. They can summon spirits using Elemental Fetishes, which are consumed on use and can be quite expensive, or they can summon them through specific summoning points on certain maps. Spirit Summoning, on the other hand, is an interesting skill line that is primarily linked to the Shaman's ability to summon spirits.
