Yup, thats it. But as with many things like combat tactics most of that
knowledge is not available to the normal person out on the streets
(including my person). That is IMO why many rules seem unrealsitic but
playable. And that is what all is about, isn't it?
Besides, the Threshold system posted mucho earlier (go check the archives if
interested) seems logic enough, although only the basics were worked out.
