Dumpshock Forums _ Shadowrun _ Improved Range Finder

Posted by: Dakka Dakka Apr 21 2009, 03:08 PM

Why is this modification not available as accessory?

How do you rule This mod is not compatible with the image magnification system accessory. Is it just that the boni don't stack or that if either is installed the other cannot?

Will the mechanic be changed because of the new range penalties of SR4A?

The improved rangefinder is a mod to a smartgun system. As a GM I wouldn´t have any problems with an external smartgun accessory being modded. No idea if that is strict RAW.

Unfortunately it is not. Only guns, vehicles and several electronic or optic devices can be modded.

To clarify, only for those things there are rules.

QUOTE (Arsenal page 128 )

The modification rules presented below are specifically
designed for weapon and vehicle modifications, but they can
also be applied to any sort of gear modifications (such as armor
or commlinks) if the gamemaster so desires

From the pages of Arsenal comes truth...

So it should work, assuming that your GM allows it... Sounds good to me...

Melee weapons can be modded. Like a sword with a personal grip.
