House Rule for Two-weapon Fighting Options

[mintcar]

I will propably go with something like this instead of the splitting of dice pools:

Firing two ranged weapons at the same target is counted as one attack. The attack suffers a -3 penalty, if ambidextrous the penalty is -1. Follow the rules for firing modes to determine recoil. Single shot adds 1 to the DV of the attack, Bursts and full-auto work as they do with the main weapon, eccept the base DV of the weapon is not counted and the bennefits are divided by 2 rounded up. All uncompencated recoil from both weapons apply. Firing on two targets requires splitting the dice pool and is concidered two separate attacks.


Melee fighting with two weapon imposes a -3 penalty, if ambidextrous the penalty is -1. Attacks on the same target with two melee weapons is concidered a single attack. The character may choose to be offensive or defensive with the second weapon by the start of each of it´s action phases. Offensively the attacks gain +1 DV. Fighting defensively the extra weapon grants +2 dice on all parry attempts.


I may find the energy to make up some examples in the future, but I´m too hungry now. Feel free to take this appart, as I know you will. It´s just some thoughts at this point and your input will possibly hone it into usable house-rules.


<<edited>> Changed the penalty from -2/0 regular resp. ambidextrous to -4/-2 regular resp. ambidextrous.

<<edited again>> Changed the penalty to -3/-1.
