You're mistaken here: in SR2 you _substract_ the armor rating from the Power
Level of the attack, it doesn't give you extra Body dice. I think this is a
case of posting house rules without realizing they are...

>Intersting dilema here, which rule is he suppose to use.

The simplest solution is to say "The most recent rules are the ones we use"
-- look at the dates: SR1 is 1989, SR2 is 1992 -> use the SR2 rules.

Every rule in every RPG is optional when you talk to me :)

As said above, no it isn't because you can look at the dates in the books.
