this is one thing i like about wotc, they dont just release a book and then maybe a errata, tehy keep trying to help confused players.

Mecha are more like cars than constructs.

hmm, while i hope that they dont get mad for me quoting their page, and it being more of a offhand comment, i think this should clear some stuff up...

oh, and i kinda think that the double-tap with semiauto rifle is a kinda made up situation.
when bringing out a sniper rifle, you looking for a LONG shot. this would probably result in some range increments. now, stacking double-tap on top of that looks to me like a bad thing, unless your some kind of master sniper or something...

Isn't that what AP are for? Also a buff from the Plan talent is really useful there.

(It's also my experience that players rarely know how far away to snipe from, and snipe at very few range increments.)

 

[hobgoblin]

AP? remind me please...

as for people sniping up close. to many cop dramas with swats or to much CS...

 

[Roudi]

Action Points.

Actually, sniping in urban environments is usually a closer affair than sniping on open terrain.

as for people sniping up close. to many cop dramas with swats or to much CS...

You do realize that police snipers usually operate under 100 meters from the target, even under 50 on occasion.

 

[hobgoblin]

heh, should have guessed...

 

[arscott]

with the penalties for spot as they are, anyone with a decent hide score can snipe from the first two range increments with relative ease.
