So, we're gradually getting our heads around making characters, but two slightly odd things came up while we were experimenting this week. Can I just ask for a bit of guidance about these?
1. Everyone in the group is taking Adept just to get extra IP without losing Essence. Is this normal? 2. We experimentally had one character fire full-auto at another. Even when he's a Troll with good Body and high Ballistic Armor, it blew straight through his entire PCM and killed him in one round. Is this normal? 3. Another player then tried throwing a grenade. Is it acceptable to "aim at a location" with a grenade and have the location be someone's feet? If you aim at the person, it seems that ridiculously high scatter is pretty much guaranteed. In fact, the way the rules work it seems that the target trying to dodge causes the grenade to scatter further which makes very little sense. |
