I haven't sat down and really mulled over the 2 sides of this one, but
the
one time it did come up was a case where there was a -5 for distance and
the target had class one screens and in that case as far as I can
remember
we did actually say that the only damage would occur on a reroll (though
that may have been becuase they didn't expect me to get any). In
hindsight
it may not have been that logical so I guess it needs more thinking.
Thoughts?

Cheers

Beth
