[QUOTE="raspberryfh, post: 7232762, member: 6895432"] So for #1, it's mostly a balancing issue? To expand on my question of range: Shooter A is giving suppressive fire for Shooter B. Shooter B runs outside of the range increment for Shooter A's weapon; does he still have a cover bonus? Similarly setup with Shooter A and B. Enemy 1 is firing at B from outside of Shooter A's range increment; does his attack suffer a -2d6 penalty? So you would rule that a pistoleer involved in a melee would suffer -2d6 to their attack if an ally is also in the melee? Assuming they don't have precise shot. The specific situation is that the pistoleer in question hides behind a large sword-and-board person with Protector. He engages someone and then she is the damage-dealer, all the while hiding behind the swordman and his large shield. If someone is directly in front of the duo, and the swordman is whacking at the enemy, would you make the pistoleer take the 'firing into melee' penalty? [/QUOTE]
