I'm touched, but that's not really needed.

Old W.O.D. Too many dice.

Shadowrun 4e. Gun Adept.

23 dice for Heavy Pistols.  3 passes per round. Two shots per pass.

138d6 isn't too many dice. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY DICE.

Bah!

When you spend more time counting up "successes" than you spend declaring an action, that is too many dice.*

*Side note:
W.O.D. also had that fixed damage system. (Body score in damage, ect.) If you roll 30bajillion dice for sneak attack damage, spell damage, swordtotheface damage, I do make an exception.

There'd be no records of my hero. He'd be at best an urban legend, but there is no proof of his existence. (That is not super classified Q level top secret)

Ross:

I am working on my new hero, and I want him to be "off the grid". Does a 2 point intrinsic sound good to you?

Personally, I am torn on whether or not to get Crysis 2 (comes out on the 22nd). I suck at tactical 'you are not a bulletsponge' shooters, but the story is written by one of my favorite authors, Richard K. Morgan (Altered Carbon, Broken Angels, Woken Furies), so that alone is enough to get me on the fence.

What do you think?

Not everything your favorite author writes is going to be gold, and the story to Crisis was weak sauce so he is going to be at a starting disadvantage. Buy one of his other books or games to support him, then read a walk-through.
