[HOE] Critters Versus Vehicles

[Randy Mosiondz <mosiondz@shaw.ca>]

Heya,

My posse were heading across northern Nevada in a jeep and a police cruiser
when they were attacked by a Mohave Rattler.  One thing I noticed that
Mohave Rattlers were listed as being Size 10-20, but on the Size comparison
chart it listed 20 as a "Mohave Rattler, Small" and the upper end of 24 as
"Mohave Rattler, Large".

Now a typical 4-door car has a +2 Size modifier, meaning people have +2 to
hit it.  This is different than the critter sizes, so upon looking at the
critter chart I noticed that the small Mohave Rattler (Size 20) has a +6 to
hit it, and used that as the Rattler's "vehicle size".  It was necessary to
determine this since the police cruiser clipped the Rattler after failing to
swerve out of the way and I had to determine the total damage that was
caused by the car hitting the rattler.

Does this sound reasonable?  Or are there rules that explain this process
and I just missed them?
