Hey everyone, Im new here and im relatively new to shadowrun too. Im pretty Familiar with the rules but im no rules lawyer. Anyhow, I have a game coming up in which there are a LOT of security guards and I had a few questions. First, how do you use security guards? Do you run them as adequately smart guards with good armor and weapons, or do you run them like movie security guards which are dumber than a box of bricks? Also, do you give them all one kind of weapon/armor and if so which do you think works best as the basic middle of the road corp. sec. weapons? One last question, do you use the professionalism ratings as stated in the SR3 book or do all of your guards fight to the death? Thanks!
Peace Konphujun :cyber: |
