Hi all, my first post so be kind.
I am developing a Way of the Gun adept and have a few questions. Firstly, for the Quick Draw simple action (not adept power), I think it describes a character as being able to draw and fire (assuming you get the dice). Logically, would you say that you can draw and perform the aim action instead of firing? I don't think it specifically allows this (could be wrong), but it stands to reason. Secondly, What are some of ye olde GM's feelings about the Aptitude (Combat Skill) Edge? I know there is a specific caveat in the description about them, but I was basically thinking of using a revolver, and having that natural ability seems more fitting than say, slapping a laser sight on there (something I'd prefer not to do). Same advantage as a LS but more cost for the edge. Would you allow it? Finally, for the 3 point Quick Strike power from MitS (awesome power btw), it specifically states that your character must be unwounded. One could argue that if the character has pain resistance, the wound should not affect the ability (assuming you are below the threshold but still injured). What do you think? Thanks. |
