[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 2842766, member: 1165"] Well actually it's 2d8, 2d8 and 2d10 for Modern (and the latter has 2/3rds the ammo capacity and uses up 5 bullets during Burst Fire). I don't know if that's enough to balance the G3, but at least I can discuss it without just saying "I feel it's too powerful". As for pistols, both the .44 Magnum and Desert Eagle are not good choices for dual-wielding. (You can wield one with a smaller pistol, but wielding two gives bigger penalties.) Again, at least an attempt at balancing it, and the reasons behind it make sense. As for the Spycraft pistols, I don't see why I wouldn't use a .357. There's .357 pistols with decent ammo capacity. It's easier to memorize the Modern values, too. I guess I like the coarseness of the Modern damage system, and don't want the real-life detail. I don't think (as an example) that the longsword doing 1d8/19-20 and the short sword doing 1d6/19-20 are based on real-life measurements, but are instaed based on the general rules for martial weapons. It's pretty easy to see that the rapier is an outlier in the rules, too. [/QUOTE]
