I'm getting ready to start up an SR4 game after a bit of a haitus. I'm re-reading the rules and old already answered and forgotten questions are coming up. I seem to remember finding this information before, but I'd like to be cetain of it.
Recoil Compensation, does it apply once per pass, or for each action? Say I've got a gun with two points of recoil compensation. I do a short burst, which incurs a -2 penalty. That's offset by the +2 recoil compensation. I fire again, which incurs a -3 penalty. Does my +2 recoil compensation reduce the -3 penalty to a -1, or since I've already applied my recoil compensation this pass do I not get to use it again? I'm almost certain it's the former (I remember being really shocked when I found out). I'll have more questions later as I bone up on the rules again. Thanks much. *edit* Ooh, here's another question. If a mage is wearing some sort of image inhancing goggles, can he still cast spells on you? I'm fairly certain he can with cyber-eyes (because he's payed the essence cost) but I'm not sure with outside equipment. |
