Ok, this is just something we played with as a house rule in third ed since it was illogical that you would need an edge like ambidexterity in order to use your off-hand in any usable fashion without getting a penalty since ambidexterity is quite rare (no matter how cheap it is in SR4).
Off-Hand skill An Off-Hand skill is an exotic weapon skill and cannot be used by the dominant hand, it is something the character has specifically trained to do with his off-hand to be as effective as his main hand (or in some cases even better). Examples for this skill could be: Off-Hand Cybergun, Off-Hand Laser, Off-Hand Pistol, Off-hand Throwing When using twin guns in this way you follow the usual rules for splitting dicepools and reducing the pool by -2. |
