Tomas is very ska-red. *nods wisely*
ANNOUNCEMENT

A few people have mentioned to me there is a rather obscure that when shooting into a grapple, you roll a chance to see which combatant you hit. It's in the foot-note under Grapple in the above. As you might notice,
slightly obscure.
Ergo, I'll handle it this way. When firing or attacking someone who is grappling, you roll a percentile chance to figure out whom you hit. What you roll depends on the respective size of the combatants.
-If the combatants are the same size (so Cavendish and Tomas wrestling on a narrow rope bridge over a bottomless chasm), you roll a straight 50-50 change. 1-50, you hit the intended combatant. 51-100, you hit the other guy.
-If one combatant is a single size category larger than the other (so a Smiler attempting to claw Tomas's liver out), the percentage is 25%-75%. 1-25, you hit the smaller guy. 26-100, you hit the bigger guy.
-If one combatant is two or more size categories larger than the other (so IF a
CARNIVEROUS EVIL BED(tm) is trying to smother Andre), you don't need to bother rolling a miss chance, since the size differential is so great you have plenty of targets. Rather, you are considered to have automatically hit the larger person. (I suppose this could work against you if a PC was trying to manhandle a Pixie or something, but I doubt it....)
Any questions?
