How many hard things can there be? Maybe I should have been more clear. The rules as written are fine. The targetter makes shots with a penalty easier. It doesn't make already easy shots, or ones with some kind of bonus, any better.

Scroll up to my first post.  That's the point of this thread.  I know it doesn't provide a bonus to easy shots.  But does it work on the overall penalty, or on each individual penalty?

 Only on the grand total of penalties…

Aye, since every previous example of an item/skill/power/etc that has deducted from a penalty has deducted from the total, not from each individual penalty.

I'm just not seeing the issue - it reads fine to me.

Could you cite some examples?

 Well…

If range would give you a -10 penalty and the fog would give you another -20 penalty that would total for a -30 penalty.
A targeter would reduce that to -20

-10 + -20 = -30
The targeter would reduce that by 10
So -20

Clear?

I assume Thaddux was asking for examples of other items/powers/whatever that reduce penalties instead of providing bonuses.

A little thread-necro never hurt anyone, right?

Did we ever get a ruling on this?

It seems strange that firing full auto on short range gains no help from this gear, but once you move further away it suddenly kicks in.
