Other thing you can do is after having him beat up a stack of gangers, is have a seriously pissed off gang leader challenge him to a one on one.
You build this guy as nearly equal (either chrome or adept) and have him duke it out wi someone of similar capabilities
I had considered that, but truth be told, whoever wins initiative will win that fight, since both combatants can typically handle two blows from the other. (The adept likely will since he has access to Reflexes 3)
Yeah, maybe. Don't forget your lieutenant gets an edge pool to use though, he can burn his edge to tank more hits if your adept troll goes first.
Csjarrat's point is a good one. This concept is essentially the "nemesis" idea I posted above. But the edge can play a huge roll in this kind of face off, especially if your troll adept PC has very few edge or has already used a few (or all) of them up earlier. The NPC will likely have his entire pool to use on defense test + full defense + block to reroll non-success dice.
Sure, this sucks up serious initiative score on the NPC side, but it could make it very hard for the troll to land a hit for a few swings.
