Houseruled Headshots, A Desert Eagle Should Do You Options

[Gyro the Greek S...]

Awright, I'm not advocating this over any other system or house rule or local law of the land or the Supreme Shadowrun Court Ruling, I'm just throwing this out there to get a feel for what other people think.

Anyhow, a while ago I was thinking about the called shot crazyness. Makes sense, I thought, until you make a shot to the head. If your target doesn't have a helmet or bone lacing crazyness or what have you, anything in the heavy pistol caliber, should it hit him/her in the head, will kill them. It's that simple. Nobody 'soaks' a .357 or equivilant to the head. Normally, the only soak happening is the wall behind their head, which is now soaked in bodily fluids.

To reflect this, I house ruled that called shots to the head up the damage two damage levels. I also made the difficulty an additional +1 (so, +5 modifier without Smartlink 2, +3 with) and added a -1 difficulty to dodge (tilt your head and what have you) This makes headshots as deadly as I feel they need to be as well as reflecting the difficulty of making them.

Unless he's a great dragon. But then you have bigger problems anyways.

My players have had this rule used against them as well as having used it to their advantage and they seem to like it. What do you all think?
