If I had to guess, it means that anyone can do a Knockdown called shot, and take a -4 dice pool modifier.
There will be a Martial Arts Manuever you can purchase called Knockdown (or something like that) which will cost Karma, and then you can perform the Knockdown called shot with a lower modifier (-1?-2?) But like you said, we'll have to wait for the book. |

Now we need the Martial Arts Splat book - Run Fu (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Hmmm... Street Fighter done up as mystads..... |

I am guessing there would be different types of Martial Arts training that provide different types of Called Shot techniques in their portfolio. |

Wasn't planning on it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Sadly, the more I see of SR5, the less I like it. Funny, after playing SR, SR2, and SR3, this is exactly how I felt about SR4. In fact I didn't even buy my first SR4 book until 2009 (I was that miffed about the changes). Although once I played SR4 for a while (several months) I started to like it. I'm giving SR5 a solid chance and I'm looking forward to more splat books. Of course that's just my opinion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) No worries. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I have no choice but to play, as my Primary GM is switching over to it (though our Secondary GM says he is staying with SR4A, and if I take up running SR again, I too will stay with SR4A). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Does not mean I have to buy it, however. |

Having now read through the RG options on the preview I actually really like them all! I'd probably experiment with using all of them together and see how it goes. Looking forward to the book now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
