Hi!<br>
<br>
I/we always play that people that are engaged in combat strikes
according
to strike rank (or Dex if they have the same SR). People fiddling with
other stuff (changing weapons, casting spells, moving etc) end up
striking at the end of the round without us counting every SR
modification.
If I as GM deem that it takes longer to move, cast a spell or whatever
I say they can attack next
round.<br>
<br>
My recommendation is to just use common sense and qualified estimates
what is reasonable under the circumstances. I have yet to have the
players complain too much about my judgment in these matters, because
they know
it goes both ways. If they can't move about, cast healing spells and
hit in one round, they know that the NPCs can't either. And, if that
doesn't help, I just invite them to be GM instead and they can keep
exact track of SR for everyone involved in the fight. That usually
stops people muttering... ;-)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>

If a character had a DEX SR of 2, a
SIZ SR of 2, and used a short spear SR 2 wanted to move 6 meters to
attack someone he would start on his DEX SR of 2 + 1 SR per 3m moved,
so
at SR 4 would he add his DEX SR of 2 again + his SIZ SR of 2 and weapon
SR of 2 to attack on SR 10 or would he just add his SIZ SR of 2 +
Weapon
SR 2 and attack on SR 8?</font></blockquote>

It'd be 10. Though its been ages, I'm pretty sure you have to start
the count after the movement, not combine it.<br>
<br>
(The way movement was integrated into RQ strike ranks, especially RQ3,
was the single most annoying thing about it from a GM point of view as
you had to keep track of this penalty for all the damn movement from
all
the NPCs, which could be a nightmare.)<br>
