Hello all, I've been a regular lurker here at Dumpshock for a couple weeks since I got the SR4 rulebook. Now I've begun running adventures, with some measure of success, but I feel that some of the skills aren't being given equal opportunity to shine. I was wondering what more experienced GM's do to make sure that skills remain worth their point value in games.
For instance, the last adventure was heavy on hacking, gunplay, and espionage. I know that two characters have good mechanical skills, but they only came into play once during the course of the game. Other skills such as Tasking (Technomancer), and Perception I didn't have them roll at all. Anyone with suggestions how to keep all characters feeling useful. And as a side note for discussion, do you find yourself rolling everything - or letting characters progress with fewer rolls than the book seems to suggest. |
