[QUOTE="Graf, post: 3941827, member: 3087"] Somethings wrong with IC. Gonna have to come up with another solution. Most in this sentence means? Most normal people? Yes. Most normal people don't have dots in Firearms. You're better that most because you have a skill. The arguement that "I sell guns, so I'm better with them than some other undefined group of people" doesn't make much sense to me. You're better with something if you 1. Use it a lot 2. Practice with it a lot. Selling something professionally suggests that you probably have basic facility with it, but I don't see why this would require you to have some sort of mastery. Are used car salesmen awesome drivers? Not necessarily. (You could write up a character and give him five dots in drive and say that he's a driving freak and he works at a car dealership and every chance he gets he jumps into one of their cars and tools around. But it's not like arms dealer = awesome with guns). Again, reflected by possession of the skill dots. It's not like not having a speciality means you can't use it. Again this is directly opposite to the point of specialities. The point isn't for you to try to get something that affects "as many situations as possible". Being broadly and vaguely good at something doesn't give your character an interesting facet. I'll look at the books again and see if it seems feasible, but "when I take the time to properly aim at something I'm more likely to hit it" doesn't sound like a speciality. Everyone is better when they take the time to aim (that's why there's an aiming rule). Improving your quick draw is a merit. I'd assume improving your aiming would also be a merit. [/QUOTE]
