i have noticed over time how players talk about gettting the most for a dice pool. i have even 'borrow' some of the ideas, becasue they are that good.

but how in the world can you have over 20 dice in a pool when most attributes max out at 9, with mods, and skills w/ mods at 9, 11 with specializaation?
page 68 in SR4A has both maxiums listed.

yes, thank you, i understand depending on which metatype you pick, you can get say...24 dice pool with a troll having a Body 15 and athletics at 9, maybe 11 if specializied making it 26at running or climbing.

that does not explain the 30 dice pools i have heard about

what little sentence am I missing that everyone else has read?

thanx in advance for enlightning this player
