I've been kicking around an idea for reducing obscenely high TN#'s (like those for hacking credsticks in SSG). One option is, as the GM, lower the number itself, but I want to do something that reflects "experience" that characters gather throughout their careers. One option I'm considering is a "temporary burning" of appropriate pool dice for lowering the numbers. It works by removing two dice for every -1 to the TN. These dice would then refresh as normal and be usable for the next one. What does everybody think of this: crazy? good? too few dice? too many?
