You overrate combat pool. i roll 8 dice with pistols, in one phase i can aim, next phase fire for a TN of 2, while calling said shot. Base damage 9S, NO armor applies. This is, mind you, without using combat pool. 5/6ths of the die will average success. that's 7 successes for a total of 9D+2. anything short of a dragon has a hard time staging that down without armor. And, yeah...if he uses 7 or more CP, while i used 0, who got out of it with a better deal when i, the next phase, blast him with another TN 2 called shot?<br/>Trust me. the FAQ rules on called shot are moronic. Some parts of SR is highly stupid. such as the FAQ, the weight rules and the rules for decking.
