One of the things that I have noticed is that I have a different view of characters then some people when it comes to shadowrun. I think that each character type should be different from each other and that they shouldn't overlap much at all. Each pc should have a distinctive role and method if possible.
Other people seem to want the characters to overlap as much as possible. I think that this is mostly power gaming myself but what do you think? |
