More seriously, I'm glad we can start seeing things from the other's viewpoint
Ivy. But remember that the SRII rules are far from flawless, despite the vast
improvement over SRI. Contradictions and lack of clarification run wildly
through the rulebooks. Still, given all of that, there is only one big flaw
in Shadowrun.
THE SEARCH FOR SIXES!
Definition - The tendency from most critical, and often less than critical
events to be decided on the bases of whether or not the player can get enough
sixes on a Test.
Examples:
Shooting at someone with cover
Most test in the Matrix (or at least the ones that count)
Resisting damage after being shot with APDS ammo
Resisting damage after being punched by a Ork or Troll Sammi
Need I go on?
