How do youz like this one?

Your target number for hitting opponents in ranged or melee combat is
reduced by the number of extra goes you have compared to the other person.

eg. Street Sam goes on 23, Mage goes on 18. Street Sam has 3 goes...Mage
has 2. Therefore the Sammy has -1 to all his target numbers to shoot or
hit Mage...

The idea behind this rule is that the faster person has so much more
speed and is able to lay into his opponent who is slower to react and
hence dodge/avoid any attacks the faster person makes.

To the faster person it almost seems like the opponent is going in slow
motion...
