[QUOTE="Khur, post: 1294775, member: 5583"] Reality tests like this are very valuable, and one has to remember that Rich Redman (one of the designers) is a military type. What I don't like about bursts is the fact that without the feat [I]all extra ammo is wasted all the time[/I], and the additional damage does not accurately reflect the target being struck by more than one round. I think military training should be valuable in the game, I just don't think the tight control on gun damage was the way to do it. It's actually specifically in the rules that cover reduces damage from a collision, and the cover chart for vehicles appears in that section (Modern p. 160). Do you still use the Reflex save to halve damage from a collision (same page)? Does restraint (seat belts, and etc.) help? Me too. The things I point out about Modern work fine, they just "feel" off. Some of them don't support the actual playing of the game as well as they should, so they don't support gamer behaviors. :D [/QUOTE]
