Ranged Attacks vs. Cover

[RangerDan]

I'm beginning to be swayed that Choose Location should be a crit only CM for ranged weapons. It does make a lot of sense given the discussion thus far.

Certainly does seem to fix a lot of things if you make it available only after a critical.

I agree, and I think it will find it's way to my house rules collection.
I will probably tweak it a little further to give ranged fighters some control of what they're doing:

Choose Location CM on a "normal" hit is limited to:
- I aim high on the target: Roll 1d10+10 for location.
- I aim low on the target: Roll 1d10 for location.

Choose Location CM on crit simply picks the Hit Location as written.

And a further tweak, because I'm insane:
Missile fire at point-blank range is considered "practically melee" and you can freely use Choose Location on normal.
