So, yea... i was making a meatwall troll. Think huntsman meets city ganger... yea, the more i say it the stupider it sounds.
But the concept is not the problem. The problem is the bow. troll has 9 strength, with lvl 2 muscle replacement. So, 11 strength. and that makes a bow, designed for someone with that strength, do 13P damage. This seems silly to me. I brought it up to the GM, and he thinks its a little odd too. So i brought it up to the group, and they think its stupid. Is there a hard or soft cap for it, and we just haven't found it? has this been talked to death (havent found anything in here yet) because an availibility 2 weapon should not do more than a fuggin assault cannon. Or maybe it should? help would be appreciated. -dender |
