So I've been playing SR4 lately, and come to the conclusion that overall, I don't like the linear power progression it provides. I want to return to SR3. However there are some components form the new edition that has exited me, notably hacking and extended tests.
How would you go about converting the hacking rules to SR3?I have played SR3 for years, but NEVER read the rigging rules, as I have heard how horridly the rigger is removed from actual game play, so keep that in mind. Future more, how would you convert the extended tests. SR3 have you divide a base time, but I never really liked it. I like the concept of making skill tests a number of times until you reach a certain threshold. This could be done by setting some TN and making skill tests until you have sufficient successes. I'm thinking, for instance, Opening a MagLock: TN: Rating/2, Threshold successes: Rating*2. Future more, one of the concepts I really despise in SR3 is open tests. Its too random. Any ideas as how you could convert this to something else? |
