Why do people with high BOD heal more quickly than others? It makes sense, given the definition of Body: It represents that character's cardiovascular fitness and endurance, immune system, how well she heals, her tolerance for drugs and alcohol, and to some extent, her muscle and bone structure. (SR4 p61) If we take this description at face value, it makes no sense for trolls to have a higher body.
But they do, and the huge mound of flesh requires much more damage to injure. That makes sense, given that we use BOD for damage resistance. But why do they heal so fast? Big bodies and high metabolisms? Can anyone offer a reason why this is not actually messed up? How about house rules? |
