[QUOTE="Felorn Gloryaxe, post: 6069435, member: 6704295"] I understand what you are saying, but the rules are pretty much implying a headshot, and if what you say is true about grazing, the the character is pretty much always grazing. I tend to think of battles cinematically, not in a rules context. If someone is saying they are going to use their targeting ability and they say they aim for the head, and it is normal race (dwarf, human, elf, hafling, etc), or a humanoid like race where the skull is penetrable with a lead slug-like bullet moving between 600 and 1300 (This is an example of a muskets FPS, 1300 being more modern-ish) and if it hits I think it hits, not graze, hit. I think its is going to incapacitate, or kill. Now if it is against say a bear or dragon (even some modern guns can't fully penetrate a bears skull) then I could see it doing normal gun damage. Really to be honest the guns thing drives me crazy anyways and they are banned in my game. They are too hard to describe in battle adequately. [/QUOTE]
