Then I'll add in something about melee combat on rollerblades... Two of
the PCs run into a dwarf who tells them "not to dig too deeply" without
actually threatening them. They start the "why should we believe you and
not kick your ass" routine, and he tells them he can take them on with one
hand tied behind his back. He then walks away.
The troll on rollerblades (who happened to be a &$%^#*%&*# Scatterbrains
ganger, which explains it all, really...) follows the dwarf to a bus stop.
There he starts questioning the dwarf again, and eventually tries to do a
melee attack. The dwarf counter-attacked and quickly floored the troll,
much to the troll player's surprise...
He started asking me things like "But I'm a big troll! How come a little
dwarf like that can just throw me on the ground?!" It never occurred to
him that fighting on rollerblades isn't the best thing to do if you don't
want to end up against the pavement...!
(Rules-wise, the dwarf was comparable to a good street sam in Strength and
Unarmed Combat skill, and I gave him a -1 on his TN because of the troll's
roller skates, as his attack was aimed at throwing the troll down, not
causing any real damage. Yet *GM grin*)
