How many rounds can a character take aim and still have stacking bonuses?
Called Shot: To avoid armor means -Armor Factor to the To-Hit pool. This is to simulate armor chinks, etc. What about called head-shots when the target is not wearing a helmet? Seems to me that a character wearing an 8/6 Armored Jacket and a character wearing a 6/6 armored vest both have equal chance of getting hit in the pate when thus targetted. |
