I wrote a program to calculate Ranged Combat modifiers (see posting in Community Projects). But there are many modifiers it doesn't handle. It's intended for the many GMs who come up with a great story and opposition but want to simplify the running of combat.
Which of the following uncommon combat modifiers do you think regular GMs encounter most? Electric Shock disorientation Flash-pak Seeing by flash-pak Flash Grenades Super Flash grenade Spirit concealment of target Spirit confusion of shooter Spell confusion Spell Enhanced Aim Penalties for Dwarf/Troll for standard-size weapons Off-hand shooting Dual firearms Firing by Magic Fingers Firing from body possessed against its will Shooter forced by Control Actions Shooter forced by Control Emotions Firing through a barrier spell (+1 vision mod) Modified weapon range due to CC design rules Drug effects? Other (what?) |

I'd go with the flash Gernades.
I have a Ghoul PC who uses them all the time. |

I would definitely go with Flashpak, all the spirit options in the list and Drug Effects. All the rest is stuff you'll rarely see.
