[QUOTE="Geron Raveneye, post: 2093230, member: 2268"] That's pretty easy...for every reroll of a die, you subtract 1 from the final result, e.g. one reroll, subtract 1, for two rerolls, subtract 2, etc. Tends to eliminate the 6th reroll, but I have yet to see somebody reroll one die 6 times. ;) Makes high TNs a tad more difficult, but in SR system, a 7 is already jack-damn hard anyway, so you shouldn't have that many occasions where you go above 10, except for somebody trying to catch an assault cannon shot with his bare chest. :lol: About the cyberpunk-isms...remember that the history of the game was created in the end-80's, hmmm? West Coast US being taken over by Japan was even more likely than magic returning and the NAN rising up. All the techno-gear looked strange and threatening 16 years back, too, while nowadays nobody minds all his personal data being stored on a small chip on a card, cell phones being small handheld PCs and fingerprint-payment being accepted at local supermarkets instead of cash. The rest...big corporations becoming nations in their own right, the pollution growing so strong it gets alive if you don't watch it, and racism/unemployment/organized crime rising...well...we're not THAT far away from it anymore, are we? :confused: Just different locations, but the music's the same, basically.
