Because they don't make any sense to me.
When a PC shoots at a metahuman with a standard attack roll, what's he trying to do? Kill them. So, when he shoots at a metahuman with a called shot for damage, what's he trying to do? Really, sincerely try to kill them? And why is it harder to really, sincerely try to kill someone than it is to try to kill them in a more desultory way? With the called shot he's aiming at the head, but with the standard roll, he's aiming at the toe? In real life, the shooter automatically aims at the head or the center of mass, the most vulnerable, and in the latter case also most easily hit, targets. How well our PC hits these areas is reflected in the damage he does with a standard roll, and can be forecast, more or less, by their die pool. I do allow called shots for things like trying to shoot an item out of a target's hand, or shooting out a tire. |
