If my character is in melée with someone and instead of attacking with a melée weapon they decide to shoot me do I defend against this attack as if it was a melée attack or a standard ranged attack?
I realize that my opponent has a -2 die pool mod for using a firearm in melée. I ask as I'm making a troll using two swords and the two weapon style maneuver. But if my opponent can simply out maneuver this defense by using a gun, it hardly seems worth while. |
