My wife and I have played SR on and off since 2nd Edition. However, it is more off than on. This will be our first time playing around with SR4. Our DM has played Food Fight 4.0 and made a character for Virtual Seattle years ago and threw a character together this past weekend for fun (though didn't finish with it due to time).

I'm wondering if there are some general Die Pool guidelines that some folks might have for making characters that are starting out. Clearly in Char Gen we can make characters that are very good at what they do and have reached the top of their Karma advancement in their selected field. I'm just wondering if their is a guideline for dice pools other than 'Reach for the stars, chummer!'

Thanks for thoughts.
