This really should be changed:
1) Taking Aim is a Simple Action. Performing any other action before shooting, including 'Free Actions', breaks Aim. 2) Called Shot is a Free Action. You can't aim to perform a called shot. 3) Adept Centering is a Free Action. A physical adept cannot try to focus while lining up a shot. Ergo - snipers (even adept snipers) always, always target center mass. This makes me wonder why a called shot is a free action, and isn't, instead, part of an actual attack action. |
