Optionally, gamemasters may choose to cap dice pools (including
modifiers) at 20 dice, or at twice the sum of the character’s natural Attribute + Skill ratings, whichever is higher. I believe this is what the missions here use, according to the Missions FAQ http://www.shadowrun4.com/wordpress/wp-con...vised200904.pdf but is this the base skill rating or the higher specialization rating? For instance, 3 Agility, 3 Unarmed Combat, with a specialization in Martial Arts. Is this a cap of 12 dice or a cap of 16? |
