Hello all

I'm both new to SR and New to this mailing list. Yesterday I ran my
second everning trial session. To help it was the senario in the book.
In Two and a half hour I think we got through 5 rounds of combat. This
bothers me but not that much. What really bohers me was how much damage
people were doing. Correct me if I'm wrong here but characters 4PCs +1
NPC were as follows. 1 Rigger, 1 Burned out mage, 1 (Street) shamman
(magpie) and 1 Dwarf Samauri. The NPC was a owl physical adept.

The riger stood in frount of Wendy for about 7 shots (No one was using
multiple shots at this time, because I was having enough problems
without it.) With a Lined Coat and a Body of 6 he was averaging about 6
resistance succeces. This seemed to mean that to do any damage AT ALL,
the shooter needed 4 succeses. making 5M3 -> 5S3. which was then reduced
to a single light wound. To do moderate damage would have taken 7
succeses. Now this is ignoring Dodge. What am I doing wrong.

Please don't tell me this is how it should work. Also the party had no
heavy artilary so that they only had hand guns. The rigger seemed unable
to do any damage to anyone no mater how good his rolls. The Dwarf (with
added spurs) seemed only able to do light wounds most of the time, in
physical, and nothing with the prededtor or colt she was using.

Please please help

Thank in advance

Chris
