I was hoping that my fellow runners might have come to some more clarity on this subject. Recently, I was told by my GM (first gaming session) that even though the description of the Smartgun System / Smartlink mentions that it allows you to see around corners for firing solutions, that firing from cover would still incur the penalty of -1 dice pool, even though that description says the reason for the penalty is lack of visual on the target. One thought expressed was that it wasn't 'realistic' to fire from behind cover because you would break your wrist from the recoil, so still get the penalty.
Thoughts? Obviously I disagree and am looking for some support, but will end up agreeing only because I don't really want to get into a arguement about the game and ruin the fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohplease.gif) |
