[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 1771543, member: 710"] I think he doesn´t want to derail this thread further - the main topic are advices how to make a d20 adaption of Shadowrun (IIRC), not to discuss wether the original system does favor fast characters with shotguns above everything else. [SIZE=1] But to derail it myself (no willpower today): Yes, it does favor these guys. But you don´t need to be fast. You just need a shotgun. :) And that is not a good thing.
