Not very. I have a skill of 1 in it... plus I think my Task Pool
applies... so, five dice. Plus I think you guys are posing things he

Yeah... he gets on my nerves a bit on occasion... Right before he'd
completed the steps to get his rating 10 weapon focus, he'd decided that
a couple of the firearms were absurdly powerful and asked our street
sammies to cash them in... also made one of them cash in the mil spec
heavy armor he had in storage... It didn't bother me too much because it
didn't affect me, and he'd made a habit of curbing his character's power
in the past... this kinda threw me off...

Yeah... I'm counting on catching him off guard with this one. RL I
wouldn't stand a chance. GM's human error might be on my side, though. =)
