One of my players has designed a character with almost no skills and the 1 million in ressources. But he has tons of skillsofts and the corresponding cyber, which makes him competent in almost everything he wants. since you'll never use more than two or three skills at the same time, he virtually has all his skills available. His background is very good, coherent, and I wouldn't like to punish him. But the problem is: -if he's got his chips, he's a munchkin (from the start !) -if he loses his chips, he's nothing, not playable at all Note that he has some natural skills, not very high, not numerous, but all in coherence with his char's concept. How would you limit it, while keeping the fun and originality of the char, and respecting the player's creativity ? |
