I have been running a Shadowrun 4e game for about 5 sessions now. I am about two sessions into the On The Run adventure. I have from 6-7 players playing at any one time with starting 400 point characters.
My problem is they are mowing through all the opposition that I am throwing at them. Now we are are still learning the rules but my players are pretty sharp and have built pretty tough characters. I started out with some easy combats but they were too easy. The PC's hardy broke a sweat. And looking at the bad guys in the On the Run adventure it looks like they will hardy provide any challenge to my players. I looks like I am going to really have to up the power level of the bad guys because any street level bad guys are hardly a bother. Maybe I was expecting starting characters to not be so tough and I can hardly imagine what they will be like with some karma under their belts. Has anyone run into this problem. |
