[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6881746, member: 1"] You can certainly do that as a house rule if you wish! The core rule mechanic isn't changing any time soon though. That max dice pool was the result of two years of playtesting feedback, and is the rule in the actual books. :) You're correct in that handing a low grade character expensive gear is largely (deliberately) pointless.

It's not really intended that players be using massive dice pools, and you'd have to be very high grade to full benefit from legendary gear - well beyond grade 20 or so, probably three times that or more.
