I don't quite understand what you're referring to with the word "this,"
here. If you mean the Power Level or Knockback TN should be lowered at
range, I'd most likely agree with you, although adding it to SR does make
the game more complex than many people would like. (Note that I don't
intend to play with a rule like this myself; if I want a realistic combat
simulation I'll use Phoenix Command rules :)
