Okay. The point I am trying to make is that you got the TN down to a 6
before any of these other modifiers were applied. The point you made about
it being easy to hit in such a case just isn't true. That's why I brought
up the other modifiers, and they didn't even include cover mods. You will
be looking at TNs from 8-16 after all these mods are applied...that's not
easy to do.
