How would you resolve a called shot to the head? It seems you have to choose between ignoring the armor jacket (for instance) and taking -8 to your attack, or doing more damage at -4 but +4 DV but then they still get armor right?
So is there a way to both ignore armor and shoot a vulnerable unarmored part of the body? Would you have to stack the two together for -12 dice to hit a guy in the face both ignoring armor and doing more damge? Not that I'm trying to find an easy way to min/max but my pistol guy in sr3 had low-damage pistols and usually just used a TON of dice to aim for the face in order to take down opponents. Not sure how my staple attack works in SR4. |
