So one of the characters in the game I'm running has a Reaction of 10, and is pretty much rolling 14-16 dice to react whenever anyone attacks him. I think I've hit him once with a bullet in the 3 sessions we've played, and that was with a wide long burst with an SMG.
I don't have a problem with his character whatsoever. He's the street sam, and he should be hard to hit. While I applaud his mastery of character generation, I really want to make things at least slightly difficult for him in a combat situation, preferably without turning the other characters into ground beef... Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks! |
