Critical hits and the head

Something I've just noticed.

Critical Hits come from rolling doubles on Melee and Ranged tests with positive SL. Since 96-00 is always a failure, there are eight ways to critically hit.

Because this is a "roll-under" system, the lower numbers are far more likely to be rolled. Even if your skill is low, a 11 is probably always a success, but unless you are superhuman, a 88 is probably always a failure.

Looking at the hit location table (p.211), the most likely location for a critical is therefore the head!

Don't forget your helmets, hive rats!

How fast does a sneaky Aeldari move?

When a creature with Fast Speed is sneaking, how fast does it move?

Page 208 says that its speed is now Slow, but page 202 says it is reduced by one Step, so thus now Medium.

Two-weapon fighting - one target or two?

Can you use two-weapon fighting to hit one target with a sword and shoot a different target with a pistol? Shoot two pistols at two different targets? Stab two different targets with two daggers?
