Well... I have both the SRII and ED game systems (and I am torn as to which I
prefer... I really think that the ED system is much smoother running, but I
like the premise behind SR a little better)...

Comparing stats in both directions, I would say that some of the weaker
horrors would be handled by a well equipped party if they did a little
planning... HOWEVER... the stronger Horrors are equivalent to dragons in terms
of toughness... they have armor plating, really high stats, etc etc... I would
assume they are Dual-Natured (making their astral presence just as nasty as
their physical), and they also have a range of nasty abilities that would
really shred a party of runners unless they were REALLY tough and REALLY well
prepared...

So, I wouldn't want to send any runners up against some of the tougher
Horrors... they are a great deal tougher than they seem...
