However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. We are ghost hunters, and regardless of our motives, it is our task to ensure the dead may no longer torture the living. ![]() Others believe they’re doing God’s work, or with every hunt, their knowledge of the paranormal world increases. Others hunt for the renown and to put down the homicidal dead. ![]() Some believe we’re laying them to a deserved rest. It is our role to hunt these spirits down. They watch us, they torment us, they play with us, they find themselves locked in Sisyphean cycles, where the only respite comes through the haunting of the living. The serial killer, who never made his tally complete in life, now determined to possess the bodies of the living to continue his gruesome campaign. The murdered family, killed in a spree so violent their spirits couldn’t pass on to the hereafter, now wreaking an untampered revenge on anyone they find. The abandoned lover, waiting for her paramour to return, only to die, alone. A great many non-mage characters have one piece of gear over 12 availability, however- usually whatever general tool is most important to their role in the team.Also available now from Onyx Path Publishing: World of Darkness: Ghost Hunters In my experience, many characters have no gear higher than 20 availability at the end of character creation and almost all characters have no gear over 28. Heavily modified gear using modification rules that add to availability rather than requiring a separate test The Saab-Saaker AIM-27 Sparrow Hawk which, at 8,000-11,000 nuyen, is totally possible and equally not worth it. The Winter Systems Mercury Ship Laser which, at 1,000,000 nuyen, is almost possible with some min-maxing, but not quite (or, at least, I haven't been able to do it yet). The USS Boston Class Nuclear Submarine, costing more money than you will ever have This has very few practical consequences as the only published items I am aware of requiring more than 28 availability are: In the latter case the highest availability rating possible to acquire during character creation is 36.

The "Restricted Gear" 5-pt quality (from Runner's Companion) allows the purchase of any single item up to 20 availability, and may only be taken 3 times. The highest availability available for unlimited purchase during character creation is 12.
