On our last run my mage got ass-kicked a lot and our GM proposed, that i would be allowed to play two chars simultaniously if i want some "additional protection". I was playing a troll-adept in SR4 and was very satisfied with it, but in SR5 it seem, that alone chosing the troll-species, leads to a rather weak character. Even a cybered one didnīt come out as expected. Does somebody have some experience with combat oriented chars like that and would you be willing to help?
Thank you. |
