That is actually something SR is greatly in need of: a simple table
showing TN modifiers for object sizes. It doesn't have to be anything
fancy, but BTB it's just as easy to hit a coin as it is to hit a dragon.
Unless that coin is being held by the dragon, in which case it's a
+4 for making a called shot to shoot the coin out of its paws.
A simple table like this (values thought up on the spur of the moment, so
take them with a grain of salt):
Size Modifier
Coin +8
Weapon +4
Body part +4
Dwarf +1
Human +0
Troll -1
Small car -2
Dragon -4
Medium car -4
Large car -6
Building -8
