Shadowrun Companion (p. 25):
Ambidexterity
Value 2:
Ambidexterity enables a character to use either hand equally well. The
character applies no target modifiers for using his or her "off" hand.
However, the +2 target modifier for two weapons at once still applies.
The ambidexterity Edge may be used to replace the Special Skill:
Ambidexterity provided on page 81, Fields of Fire.
I gather that the off hand rule is should be something like a +1 or +2 to TN
for making physical tests with your off hand. I am not happy with the ruling
that the +2 TN for using two weapons at once (reason for the original
Ambidexterity post).
