Nothing in the rules against it.
No rules FOR it either sadly . . . -------------------- TrogCorp, Join us while it is still voluntary!

Don't use SMGs, use MGL-6's bumped to burst fire with better ammo feeds. Having your pool divisible by 6 doesn't make much of a difference when your max spread is 1d6 and you can mod the safety so it never detonates when it can harm you.

QUOTE (tim @ Apr 24 2012, 03:33 PM)  This brings up a question. Can you get extra cyberlimbs installed? As in, above your normal arms/legs. Is it, by RAW, possible to just stick like 4 extra arms on you, or give yourself a pair of cyber-spider legs? There are no rules for it, so unlikely. Besides, I don't think your mind could control extra limbs. -------------------- "Sometimes, we’re heroes. Sometimes, we shoot other people right in the face for money."

I only do it to someone who is already a changeling who has limbs that can be replaced - I think it might be more difficult if you are not already having the limbs - not the right neural connections or whatnot. -------------------- If life is not a challenge, then what's the point of living?

As far as I remember, recoil modifiers are cumulative. you could fire four shots with two semi-autos, but the last one would have a lot of recoil added. You might want more RC than necessary even on a pistol, and something like a gas vent on an smg. Personally, I'd rule smartlinks allowable, but not recoil mods like stocks and foregrips. You probably want a 5 (7) specialisation in pistols (SA) or Automatics (SMG), and as much agility as you can get. Make sure you have a display link, and have vision mods to reduce penalties like glare and partial darkness. Your dice pool is cut in half, so modifiers can make you useless if not negated.

Something just occured to me, possibly a stupid question.
What do you do when attacking using two weapons with different weapon skills? Like a pistol in one hand and a machine pistol in the other, and your Pistols and Automatics skills aren't the same value? Anyone know how that resolves, if at all? (Divide by zero?) ~Umidori |

From the BBB: If two separate skills are being used (Pistols
and Automatics), use the smallest dice pool. @Sir_Psycho: uncompensated recoil |

I have an NPC with two smartlink systems in his cycbereyes. Not sure if RAW or RAI, but the ruling says that a smartlink modifier doesnt' apply and I assumed this was because the smartlink system can only hande one feed from a gun at a time. So if you had 2 you could pull it off. Otherwise why would you be able to add 2 to your cyber eyes (one neon orange, the other neon green).

QUOTE Otherwise why would you be able to add 2 to your cyber eyes (one neon orange, the other neon green). It's not clear that you *can* add 2; more of a "it doesn't say you can't" situation. Hardly grounds for a conclusion, though.
