My runners managed to pick up a PAC during another GMs game (he's now one of the players. we know each other's work well enough that making new characters would've been more trouble than it was worth). They've had their fun with it, but it's starting to disrupt the game balance. The gangers they're up against now can't even begin to stand up to it.
So the question is, how do I nerf it? I've been waiting for a critical failure, but none is forthcoming. What are some other ways I could nerf the thing in the two days the runners have before the meet for payment and the next plot point? |
