Isn,t that pretty much standard SRII rules (I do remember somne rule for
shoting with two handguns). The ambidexterity rules made very little sense to
me, in light of the fact that there was already such a rule (I guess the
point is to have high enough ambidexterity that ther is no panalty). How does
ambidexterity affect HtH combat? do youy make 2 attacks?
See, the way I see it,two handed fighting is a completely different thing.
Thanks to those who actually replied to that question. Yeh, the rules are
dorked and pull more dice than needed, but is is the one "official" way HtH can
be made really effective (since you free up combat pool for dodging).
