[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8494890, member: 4534"] Cyberpunk 2020 had a lot of niggling problems with many of the skills. The Corporate's Resource ability was very, very broad giving a player access to vehicles, a hit team, cash, and other specialist as needed. The biggest limit I think is that you can't use Resource to fix an immediate situation (most of the time). i.e. If you're ambushed by a poser gang you can't just make a Resource roll to bring in a corporate hit squad because by the time they show up you're probably already oozing life. Even aside from revolving everything around that one ability being a problem for every other player, it'd just get old. We all know celebrities get special treatment. They get access to things or they get freebies just because people like them. So why not allow their ability to be used in their day-to-day lives? The security guard is a huge fan of Trinity's Child and let's her into the scrapyard just so long as she promises to keep a low profile and give him an autograph. Or maybe one of Trinity's fans knows a guy who knows a guy who specializes in data analytics who can sift through those Militech files that fell in her lap [/QUOTE]
