I'm looking for opinions on the best set of Automatic fire rules for D20. Which ones are the "best"? Anyone have the ultimate system they ported from an earlier RPG?

The Reflex save DC for avoiding the autofire is set by the attacker.
It equals the modified attack roll.

TheEldereye said:Does the attack have a limit to the area covered? Or a penalty? Say I want to autofire my gun at three enemies - do they have to be adjacent or with in a certain arc. I like the rule - simple, yet effective - just wondering about how you work it.
Psion said:That doesn't fix the problem that full auto fire ignores armor.
C. Baize said:Honestly, though... it's just like any other area attack. Which is all it is... ballistic area attack.
Area attacks don't take armor into account at all, anyway.
Psion said:Area attacks don't usually take it into account because they are usually energy effects. At any rate, my problem isn't that the system isn't consistent with itself, but that the system isn't qualitatively consistent with reality. There is no good reason that auto fire shouldn't be defended against by armor.
