[QUOTE="Khur, post: 1308354, member: 5583"] Cool! Thanks for saying something about that! Your post provides very valuable insight. I've said all along that the rules are fine, especially for simplicity, just not that satisfying. I mentioned suppression fire as well. I'm not a soldier, so I can honestly say I don't know on a personal level. However, I can say some veterans and current military personnel seem to agree with me, and based on their influence still don't buy the Wisdom 13 requirement for the Burst Fire feat at the very least—the cost of having to have a feat is enough of a restriction in itself if you want to stick to d20 Modern rules. I also cling to the logic that if you shoot Autofire into a square totally occupied by a very large, multi-square creature, at the very least that creature should take more damage. Anyway, once again, I'm not trying to tell anyone how to run his or her game. I'm just interested in others' POV—especially those in a position to know, like you. I'm also not interested in rehashing something that bores everyone, because it has been done 1000 times. I just never had the opportunity to read the old discussions. Thanks again! :D [/QUOTE]
