Imagine that I have the skill "assault rifles" at 1 and the skill "shotgun" at 10.
Now I want to fire with an Ares HVAR assault rifle. If I use the skill "Assault rifles" in this case I could use only 1 dice + the whole combat pool OR I could use my "shotgun" skill using 10 dices + 5 dices of combat pool (half the base skill) with a target number +2 than the normal. In case like this (I admit, it is not very common) I think that is more profitable to use the default skill than the proper skill: Is it possible to do it or not?????? |
