So my friends and I are doing a Shadowrun inspired Gen game, and all of us that play like the game but we are, by no real definition, Experts in the Game. During Char Gen, Someone decided to do a Texan Troll Samurai type (named Truck Nuts- we are a ... lighthearted bunch) and someone mentioned wanting a talent called "Hold My Beer". Off the cuff I decided here is the effect:
Hold My Beer: (ranked)
For every rank in Hold My Beer the player may add 1 blue AND 1 black die to any active roll.
Now looking at this on the surface it seems to me to be pretty even, and even possibly not that good- all things considered, it SHOULD cancel everything out most of the time, but every once in a while things will get extreme, which is the intent.
My question to the Rules Demigods and Demigoddesses here is : D oes this seem to work out? We have not done a deep dive into the rules, so if there is a strange or arcane rule or ability that would make this OP, or somehow goofier than intended, please point it out. Also, any advice or comments on this would be welcome. Yes, it's intended to be lighthearted and slightly goofy. Pure Chaos kinda deal. My initial worry is if it should be allowed to be used for Magic Rolls. We have yet to playtest it in our group in this capacity, but I could just imagine some wingnut with 3 levels of this casting a spell with 3 Blue and Black dice added to the mix.
Thanks in advance
