I posted this on someone's blog when they said they had a problem with a tank with high armor. It was one of many thoughts i had about dealing with a tank player with out dooming him to a messy death and adding somthing to the plot line.
The situation is a ork player with Armor of 20+, he seems to be causing the GM some trouble with his camapaign.
I would create a situation that involves the creature Incubus with a Earth spirit. It would take some battle field control on your part to separate the party a little on a run though. But this could prove to be a very funny and humbling experience for our sweet Ork.
I would plan it with in a Corp office run, allow the runners to try to make it through with stealth and a good run plan. But if they trip the alarm then it is time for a controlled response from a NPC mage/ head of security at that site. I will use the name Mordath, who will have great physical security typical of most corps in place. But he will also have several contingency plans to deal with different Runners and their abilities.
One of them will include our Incubus, to set it up have several wagemages cast barrier spells to split off our tank from the party. Open the needed door, and inside will be a caged Incubus about 15 feet of the ground in a bullet proof glass cage. than have one or two earth elementals stationed nearby. The incubus will use its Desire Reflection and the spirits will use it’s binding power. You will then have an ork tripping out of his mind and stuck to the ground. Mordath, that bastard elf will have some sort of knock out gas to give the incubus and then some guards will come in and cuff old big and nasty.
Now we get into other party story mode, we have a team mate capture while they should be forced to leave…..maybe some drones firing rubber pellets at a high volume will convince them. They will either have to try to get the companion back, while our dandilion eater is having his merry way getting information/ trying out new tech/drugs on our not so free roaming tusker.
This NPC can be a one shot dude, or a bastard that re appears to slot off the party for games to come. maybe moving up the old corp ladder I hope this was useful,Take care enjoy your day.
