"  In a firefight, a defender potentially does this against two different target numbers, with two different sets of dice, for dodging damage and then sucking up damage.You also gloss over dice pools, which is ridiculous, when one of the most vital things to learn about Shadowrun is proper use of pools.  If you forget your synergy bonuses to skills in D20, it's no big deal.  If you misuse your dice pools in Shadowrun, you're dead. Any claim that Shadowrun is no more complex than D20 is, well, a little foolish.</blockquote>
