One thing I loved in past Shadowrun editions rules was the relative quickness of combat rules, due to the fact that the target and the attacker both rolled once to figure out if the attack lands, and how much damage the victim would suffer. The new rules add another dice roll, now every combat attack is an opposed test: before you'd roll your attack, and the defender would roll the soak test. Now, before the soak, the defender rolls his evasive action too. I'm considering using this "official" rule tweak:
But if I do that, Body is quite less useful. It only adds half its rating to the damage boxes, and that's all. So, a solution I see is making the number of boxes in the Damage Monitor [Body]+5 instead of [Body /2]+8. Same for Stun Monitor ([Willpower]+5) and Matrix Monitor ([System]+5). Waddaya think about it? |
