It seems, earlier editions were not so simple as they seemed through my rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia, then <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I will still say that my optimal combat task resolution mechanism is probably more like:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Set situation modifier/dice added or substracted - by GM judgement, ideally supported by guidelines in the rule book</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Roll attack skill vs. defense skills (both incl. relevant attribute bonus), no. of success/sucess level determines damage</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Use armour to reduce damage, possibly including armour durability (fixed or some sort of roll)</li> </ol>Edge (or more generally: a meta resource) can be spend to in any step to bend fate in favour of the side who spends it.However, I prefer a rather narrative game and I can see why people would be uncomfortable with the amount of GM fiat involved here. Also, it probably does not meet the crunch demand of a significant portion of the player base.I still look forward to your review of the full rule book and rest of the starting line up of SR6, though (this article was a very good one).</blockquote>
