Ok, according pg 114 SR3, I get to up the damage code for every two successes.
My question is this: Is that taking into account the one success it takes to initially hit? If so it seems a little out of balance. From the book... Heavy Pistol - 9M 1 Success - M 2 Successes - S 3 Successes - N/A 4 Successes - D In essence, it stages on 1-2-4-6, etc. Too me that seems to early for the first stage up. I have been running it like this... Heavy Pistol - 9M 1 Success - M 2 Successes - N/A 3 Successes - S 4 Successes - N/A 5 Successes - D Staging on 1-3-5-7-9, etc. seems a little more balanced to me. Like I said in my other thread, am I missing something? |
