Re: Shotgun and range
Thanks for the answers and discussion! I mostly go by Basic rules, at this point, but maybe I'll just let the pi become pi++ (whatever slugs are; can't remember seeing that in the Basic).

Re: Shotgun and range
What it means is all shots hit, in a dense cluster not much wider than the shotgun barrel. The effect is more like a very soft slug (which is just the name for full-size 'bullets' fired from a shotgun, as opposed to the iconic multiple-shot loads) than like the sum of scattered pellets. Though once you factor in the conversion from pi to pi++, the total injury is about the same as all pellets hitting individually.

Re: Shotgun and range
Wait! What? You lost me. What does 12+5 (RF bonus) mean? Are you applying the RF bonus to the damage?
