In Tech Specs, Gurth, you have made a chain lightning
spell. ok nice. But you do not state what to do if there
fx is two targets: will the lightning jump between those
two until force is 0 or will it only touch them once.

2nd question:
In your new melee rules (quite splendid, was needed)
you state that the combat should begin with each of
the participants declaring what to do. But you don't
say which one must declare first! , which is pretty
important. (I suggest the attacker declares first).

3rd question:
The strength bonuses gained when mounting cyberlimbs
is received a second time in your melee rules??

4th question:
If the attacker makes multiple attacks, what does the
defender do? declare different actions for each or one
for all?

Thanx

Let me think, it's been a few years since I wrote that one up, and I
haven't used it since... I'd roll randomly to see which target gets hit,
and let it jump on from there.

Makes sense. (What more can I say? :)

What exactly do you mean? I don't quite understand the question.

As far as I'm concerned you can make one attack per Complex Action, so the
defender will only need to defend once.

See, you stated that one could
attack with fx 2 arms and one foot (gotta stand ;). That's three attacks!
Sorry to bug with this, but I'm sure that... THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

BTW it's damn good to hear your voice again. Ever since I began using Pegasus
as rec. by you >:| none of my mailings to the list have made to the list!!
And now I'm using NS agian with an interface from the deepest pits of Hades!
