How do you guys deal with the +N reach given by certain weapons and to certain
characters. Up to press in our group we have just lowered the attackers target
number by the total difference. Although this does make any total above 2 rather
useless. I was reading some bits in rec.games.frp.misc when I noticed that
one guy on subtracting this difference from the attacker (the guy with the
sword or whatever) then added it onto the target of the defender. Does SII
clarify this ? SI certainly doesn't.
Thanks in advance.

Just checked my friends copy of Shadowrun II and guess what? Your right.
For reach modifiers to target numbers compare reachs. If equal then no mod
to either combatant, if different then the higher reach subtracts the difference
while the smaller reach adds the difference.
Moral of the story is don't fight troll with combat axes with your bare hands.

See ya in Shadows,
