-Question regarding close combat damage under Synergy
A character may opt to make a close combar attack at an additional -2 modifier. If this attack causes any wound, the victim has to make a stun roll in addition to all the regular effects of the wound. If the attack was also a called shot, the attacker may decide – before determining the damage caused – to apply the called shot damage modifier to this potential stun roll instead of the damage rating.
