No matter how fast you are, you're not going to dodge a bullet, unless you were somehow in motion already, in which case, it's the shooter's fault if he misses.
Now has anyone ever played SR and removed the ability to dodge bullets altogether? We tried this once, just for kicks. Basically, the only things stopping you from getting hit are cover, movement, and various other modifiers. When we gave this a try, people were running while shooting, diving, sticking guns around corners and blind-firing, firing through obstacles, shooting out the lights, throwing loads on combat pool on shots or damage resistance, wasting tons of ammunition, etc...etc... Anyone who has ever had a problem with characters having the ability to dodge bullets should definately give this a try. It's like a souped-up John Woo movie :rotfl: |
