Long time fan and collector of Shadowrun, not so long time GM.
I have an Elf Technomancer with 7 Charisma, positive qualities to boost, max stats, right out of character creation.... Spends almost 3 days compiling and registering sprites...gets six sprites or seven sprites of differing types...rating 6. Goes to probe and then hack into DocWagon facility and is rolling a dice pool of around 31 or 33. He has sprites aiding his rolls, threading, etc... The rest of my players are rolling average dice pools around 12 to 16. What am I doing wrong? Are they really that broken? Have I missed a rule that limits how they can use sprites to augment their rolls? Please help. |
