QUOTE SR4 page 148 : A character has a superior position if he is standing on higher ground (by at least half a meter) than his opponent, if he is standing on stable ground while the opponent is not, if he is attacking the opponent from behind, or if the opponent is in a restricted position and the character is not. would a Troll of 2.5m size in Close-Combat now be getting +1 for his reach or +3 because he is at least 0.5m higher than the average person of every other race out there? would a Dwarf of 1.50m size standing on a 1.20m table have a +1 on the troll if the troll were standing on the ground? because the troll gets +1 and the dwarf gets +2? would a Troll standing on the same table get the +3 if fighting the 1.50m tall dwarf? |
