Maybe I SHOULD 'get you started on SRII dodge rules'... I had a (rather)
good look at the SRII rules yesterday evening (in fact it was this morning,
at about 01:05, but what the...) and, of course, found no such thing as a
separate 'dodge roll' to apply TN modifiers to. If it gets harder to dodge,
the damage resistance test is the only place to add to the TN, since it is
the defender's only die-roll. Perhaps you could apply the modifier to the
Combat pool dice ONLY, but that would complicate matters quite a lot.
Look, I _know_ I'm pushing it, and I _know_ I was the one who did this wrong
in the first place. All I'm trying to prove is that it wasn't too
unrealistic.
Matter settled?
