Proposed change for range affect on damage

Granted I have no idea how you’d scale the result to fit the current BP/damage system.

What we may want to have a look at is Kevin Dockery's update to the damage system he created for TMP. That system can be found here on my website http://www.thesupplybunker.net/Morrow/damage_system.zip

This was going to be included in a revision of the rules at some point, but didn't as we know.

I really haven't looked at it in years, to see what it was going to improve.
