[QUOTE="Creeperman, post: 1805417, member: 767"] Well, that depends on your GM. My experience with Shadowrun was with a GM who used (abused?) the NPC Threat Pool rules extensively, so any action was generally resolved with a double-fistful of dice. While this may not have been such a problem against light pistols (assuming decent armor), he also liked using surprise, snipers, the Barrett-121, and called shots in conjunction, resulting in the messiness mentioned by Thanee. Having said that, PCs are easy to fix... if they are mages or adepts, and someone has a high-force Heal or Treat spell, and that someone has the appropriate fetishes and foci. If the victim is any type of cybered mundane, however, the tests become drastically tougher with the loss of Essence. In that case, the poor PC can look forward to a thirty-day (or more) hospital stay, at a cool 1,000¥ a day, plus surgeries and other treatments.
