Brian,
IMHO it seems like you run a ludicreously powerful game :) , but seriously
the game Ed (Highlander) runs and Jeremy Roberson, Steve Huth (Spectre), Stefan
Hahn, and myself play in is pretty much a standard SRII game. In fact it's
rather underpowered (sorry Ed, but we've never really ben in any danger of dying
when you were GMing).
Right now Steve is running a hybrid NAN I & II adventure (yes, the character
killer adventures) that has us shaking in our boots. During this adventure my
character, Raven, has gotten shot (hasn't happened in at least three adventures)
and gotton into a down an dirty, karma burning, autosuccess buying, astral
battle, and we haven't even met the major villian!
As for lethality, lots of NPC's die, but we've gotton pretty good at hiding
our butts when the bullets begin to fly. Of course in SRII it just takes one
shot to end your life.
Lastly we don't make any of the Archetypes anymore or less dangerous then they
are in the book. That's probably because nobody uses them, we make our own
characters (PC and NPC).

See Ya in Shadows,
Jason J Carter
The Nightstalker
