Perhaps Combat Pool should be based on skills as well as on attributes.
SR1 had Dodge Pool and Defense Pool; the former (equal to Quickness) was
used to dodge incoming attacks, the latter (equal to the skill being used)
was for melee combat only. If you're not happy with the way Combat Pool
works in SRII, you could re-introduce the Defense and Dodge pools like
this.
