lol well ok then. I DEFINATELY see no reason for a troll Ares Predator to be more damaging than dwarf or regular Ares Predator.

However I do have a houserule that gives higher strength characters bonuses on RC, so indirectly they get a bonus to damage.

There was a system for allowing larger characters greater recoil control in Fields of Fire, I think that is the right book. Don't have access to my copy right now though.

My point earlier was that trolls could more easily use "super magnum" pistols like the .454 Casull and .500 S&W. For stats I would just add a point or two to damage for heavy pistol but leave the range the same. Ammo would also cost at least 4 times as much as standard because it is very rare. Specialty bullets for these calibers would cost even more. Other races can use these calibers, of course, but probably with a recoil penalty. Never fired one myself, but I have seen a .500S&W fired and I wasn't having any of that.

...Cannon Companion also had the strength modifier for recoil rule.

Yeah. As it is, the tendency of larger things to have a higher Body rating, which gives them more health levels and more dice to resist damage.


Dwarves are smaller and have a higher body attribute...
but in your logic they should have a lower attribute?


I said there is a tendency for larger things to have a higher rating. That does not preclude the possibility of something smaller than something else having the higher body. I simply meant that, on average, the larger something is, the higher its Body is likely to be.
