One of my favorite players made an ork sorceress with a Pain Editor. I didnt realize how pimped this was until her first run.
She started casting spells right and left, and when she took the drain, she just flipped on the pain editor (consequently getting +1 willpower for extra drain resistance, and feeling no pain modifiers for stun damage). Now ALL of my spell slingin or spirit callin players are wanting to jump on the band wagon. The only real disadvantage (besides the 1 point of magic she lost for getting a little bioware), is that she cant keep track of what damage she is taking, but thats hard to hide unless I do all her damage and drain resistance rolls myself (most characters really want to roll for themselves). I really hope that she loses track of stun and it overflows enough to kill her. BAH How do i deter this drain pimping trend? What can I do? Is there some other drawback im missing? If I dont stem this flow of cheese soon, Im going to have a group of 5 spell slinging superheroes, and the game is going to lose alot of its alure. HELP ME! |
