I'm running my new campagin and my rigger player is concerned that the rigger can't do much. Without dusting off the MIJI rules, what can a rigger do? By my understanding the rigger is great at combat, surveilance and uh, DRIVING. The archertypeal "sits his meatbod in the battlewagon all run" really limits player interaction. If there isn't a car chase every session, whats a rigger to do? Nearly any corpsec badge will put two and two together and reach Shadowrunners! if there is an unfamilar Steel Lynx driving down the hallway, so my player imagines even physical intrusion is a loosing bet. What can I do to keep the rigger engaged?
