Two things ...

QUOTE
Without those, I require an intelligence check IF they ask to estimate it. The better the roll, the better the estimate. If they get nothing higher than a four, then I'll say "He's not next to you, that's all you guess" but if they get something like an eight or a nine, I'll give them a real distance with a margin of a few meters. If the target's well within the range band, it's a non-issue. If it's on the edge between range bands, I'll throw which ever one seems more appropriate.


1. it is the number of successes that determines how great you complete a task, not the actual value rolled. ie 2 successes tn 4 (4,5) are better than 1 success tn 4 (23).
(someone does have a house rule that allows extra successes for every 6 higher than TN, but that is not cannon)

to X-Kalibur:
actually, I think that smartlinks don't come with range finders. You have to get that built in if I recall. Besides, only two people in my group have smartlinks (out of eight), and it doesn't come up very often. But I've been wrong before, and I'm the first to admit it!


2. smartlinks do not have rangefinders. (I wish they did) you need a range finder and grenade link for indirect fire rules. In fields of fire, a SL-2 will integrate with a range finder for distance shots.

Not always. Open tests for example.

And it's "canon." :)

Are you talking sr4? Never read that or found that in sr2 or sr3. any page references?

If you hit the TN you hit the TN ... flip a switch ... black and white.

No, I'm talking SR3. IIRC Stealth is an example of an open test.
