Maybe I'm the only one that this bothers but personally I don't like the huge number of dice that you can end up with. I don't mind a handful but some of these dice pools get up to 20+ and that just seems rediculous. There has to be a better way.
I was thinking what if cyberware gave a smaller number of automatic successes or reduced thresholds or things like that. Your cyberware, or any machine for that matter, should be less variable then a shaky human part. Maybe if they gave a flat bonus instead of additional dice much of the time it would reduce the dice pool but still give that person the benefits of the ware they paid for. Maybe have a smaller range of bonuses but have them static. You still have to roll sucesses to get the effect to work or aim it. Ideas? |
