The same would be if he was covering, stood up to fire and then covered again.If instead he moved, fired 2 arrows and than took cover it would have fired the first arrow with no problem, but would have taken a 1 die penalty to the second one and have a 2 die penalty to every other action/reaction until the next round due to the 4th action (cover)As for the question: is there a precise reason for you setting DEFENCE and MENTAL DEFENCE to be different than other benchmarks? I mean, why didn't let these static values to be simply 3 times AGI or WILL score?That way, a STR 4 char (3 dice) fighting an AGI 4 (= DEF 12) char will hit it almost 50% of the time...As a side note, what about simply rolling for DEFENCE as your AGI score would determine for each attack (thus, using the above mentioned system, a reckless charge followed by 2 attacks will automatically leave you much more vulnerable, rolling 2 dice less for DEFENCE or giving you a flat -6 penalty) ? Maybe it could slow the pace a bit, but I think it would allow for much more variability...IMO this kind of systems allow for very dynamic combat sequences, and very dynamic action scenes too...What do you think?</blockquote>
