Accounting/Bureaucracy/Business also work great as Complementary Skills, especially combined with social skills. Looking for the safe? Knowledge of standard Business practices could give you a good starting point on your perception. Need to blend in at the office on a social op? Bureaucracy can inform you of the jargon you'll need in your Acting, and even what would be the best level of employee to impersonate. And the combinations of Accounting/Bribery, Trading, and Forgery practically write themselves. It may just be a +1, but if you look for it, the opportunities will present themselves.
Immense respect for your dedication to this RPG over the years, I just recently started following your channel after picking up the core rulebook for Cyberpunk Red and it's been a nice resource for filling in some of the creative gaps left in the book.
I feel like most Intelligence skills sound like they would allow for a "Roll for money" if played right. Nobody really has want skills to contest it, so you can just go around and rule stuff
I really dove into accounting, burocracy and buisness. As an exec your job foir the group is to bank roll the hell out of the team. Playing an exec running his own starter corp and your edgerunner buddies taking up positions in that corp sound like an awesome time. Your lawman can be your "head of security" the back up he calls are the soldiers you have on payroll. The higher the role skill The better trained the troupes are. Your netrunner can be your cyber division lead. Your Media can be your public relations manager. A Rockerboy, marketing head. Technician, R&D There's a place for all talent beneath your umbrella... corp...
I feel that you missed one of the biggest uses for Cryptography, in my opinion, which is as a complimentary skill check for a Netrunner making a Backdoor check to defeat a password. Whilst password creation isn't exactly cryptography a lot of people do use substitution cyphers and such like to create passwords in real life and having knowledge of that should definitely give an advantage to the Netrunner. Also Netrunning is such a challenging thing anyway until you manage to increase your ranks in it that any type of benefit you can justify should be allowed.
all honesty this is very helpful, ive been using this with my dm and also the book cause for example with Business 14 it says you could be running a business sooo i talked to my dm about it and got a business of being a minor ripperdoc office with a few working underneath me in the city
3:37 uh actually thats not really true at all. night city is a coastal city and techincally should be getting most of its goods shipped in from overseas seeing how the overwhelming majority of international trade (80% irl) is maritime trade. meaning that if you're experienced in piloting sea vehicles you should also probably know the ins and outs of maritime smuggling and pirating and be able to access the majority of goods that come into night city before anybody else.
Jonjon it's good see you still posting love your work My media characters doing good he lived awhile now but unfortunately his humanity is only at 15% because I like cyberware too much. Sub everyone this man is A NIGHT CITY LEGEND
I do have a question :) How would you approach a player who'd like to double-wield medium pistols? I got this question from one of my players and I think that testing athetics would allow him to dual-wield his pistols. I was also considering adding a skill that would allow my players to dual-wield one handed weapons, however (at least for now) I decided to park the idea. Edit: I do love your channel, you do have a great insight into the mechanics and some of your ideas really helped me (and my team) to better understand the rules of the system. Great job JonJon :) Thank you!
Dual wielding is totally part of the game. But, you do not gain an increased rate of fire or anything like that. Instead, you have less of a chance to have to reload because you have two guns out or you can load each pistol with a different kind of ammunition
@@JonJonTheWise Thank you Jon :) Though I wonder why not to give my players a chance to blast their enemies with two pistols? with -2 to hit (with an offhand for example) and with a successful athletics check (this means double damage so it should not be that easy). I have not thought about loading two different ammo types, that's actually a great idea! A powerful one at that :)
