House rules are fine for individual groups, but are not really a helpful answer to questions about the rule set itself.
*shrug* Hey, you don't have to read my posts. Nobody's putting a gun against your head. But I always make a strict distinction between 'this might fit your tastes better' and 'this seems like a balance mistake, so here's a way to fix it'. And in both cases, I always make very clear what things are based on, so it's as far 'just make something up' as you can get.
In this case, I very clearly make the point that I believe these damage levels were missed in the rebalancing of the damage numbers. Literal quote: "However, there’s a few things the rebalance seems to have partially missed". As such, it's not 'just make something up', it's 'here's the spirit of the law, and as such we're arguing for how the law MUST be changed to respect said spirit'. Which is a perfectly helpful answer to questions about the rule set itself.
You're killing me, Ray. I love Krime! I really hope to read more Krime stories in the future. The Huzars one is still brilliant.
I read every post that relates to the elements I am interested in, including yours. You know full well I don't care for you one bit, but that doesn't make me unable to recognize the times you do post a good idea, so yes I read them.
That said though, did you write any of SR6? I didn't either. For me that means we can't factually state what the spirit of the rules or factually state what RAI is. We can only factually state what a rule actually says. For all you or I know, it could very well be intended that all damage but explosives we're scaled back.
I mean I have been bitching about this endlessly since last summer, the FAQ team is aware of it, SSDR has commented on it numerous times, and the developers still haven't addressed it. Maybe it is just the way they want, and intend it, dude. That is why I believe questions about the rule set that don't receive answers based upon written rules are less than helpful. I understand that perspective is subjective, though.
To be clear, your house rule is good. It's a not an actual game rule though, which means it won't help everyone.
