But see, that was the problem. Who needs to be smart when you can regenerate from anything short of your head being blown up?

I guess in that case you need to separate the offenders from the non-offenders, and have the law or corp goons only come after the offenders  :-\

You could simply have a chromed up cybered cow fall on the offending runner, right?

Usually, one of three things happens.

1) We decide as a party that the trog will cover our escape, because he can both take and dish out enough damage to allow us to do that.

2) The character gets into so much drek that none of us can possibly save them. (see previously told story about falling down the elevator shaft)

3) Rarely, VERY RARELy. As in, only once, the player will retire the character because they're too high-powered to run with the party. (and this was my youngest brother who did this, by the way)

Now see that, you people have NOT been paying attention! You have to hit a character where it hurts if you want to keep game balance. Damn! just toss in a few canisters of Neurostun X or Green Ring 8. Hell a splash grenade full of slip spray, a canister of freeze foam, and a sharp throat-slitting knife are a great comination for a guy like that. Or, a water hose and 8 security guards with tasers and stun batons.

And check this out, certain kinds of bone lacing can be considered to be conductive or insulative. Now this is completely noncanon, but I work at an engineering firm, so I checked this one out. Ceramic Bone Lacing can actually insulate against electrical attacks. Say it counts as 2 points of protection against an electical attack. However, Alluminum Bone Lacing is just the opposite. Aluminum is a great conductor (although not as good as copper or gold) and could actually CONDUCT the electrical attack into that PC. Thus it would give a +2 to the TN to resist the electrical attack. Add in a healthy soaking of water (shich should count as at least a +1TN) and you have a little edge there.

And if you STILL can't take a guy like that down, summon a level 3 hearth spirit to confuse the guy into walking down the wrong hall, into the elevator, and toss all the above mentioned stuff into THAT. If he STILL survives the chunky salsa effect, all the gas, the non-lethals, and the electrical damage, just stop and smack the drek out of both yourself and your player. You both deserve it.

well, there's always more than one way to skin a cat, but the point of the argument was that it was annoying to have to go skin cats all the time, even if there is a variety of ways to do it.
