So it might not be the worst way to die but yeah... redlining cyber limbs, special arrows, and a compound bow = ouch. What's a good upper limit for the pull on a compound bow. SR4 material science is crazy good, but I just don't think trolls should be one-shotting CityMasters WITH A BOW! I have a potential player who is interest in playing this build, and I'd much rather give him some kind of a hard cap rather than try something out and have it be totally broken. Any thoughts?
