Working the system for all its worth, you end up with something that is not as useful as a pourly designed meat shield. And I would much rather that it was harder to get a missile off in melee, so you have to protect your missilers, but let them be more dangerous when firing. Multishot boes me. I would much rather characters could make a regular missile shot more effectively than that they can do stunts like that.
I see the question of balance at work here, the idea being that a missiler that is truly dangerous at range would be out of balance with comparable characters specializing in melee, but I'm inclined to think someone with no cover at range against a competent missile specialist should be in trouble. And as it stands, missile specialists are always a disappointment.

See Denizens of Avadnu (from The Inner Circle) for one answer to this question. Great book anyway, as it happens.Nyaricus said:My question is: what's the skill to smell something?
I am totally in agreement, on both counts.I'm not. I just don't understand why people want so many skills consolidated. If it has to do with the amount of skill points (or lack there of) that the classes get, I say up the skill points.

Cha-based is the 5' tall Asian bouncer who, when he's called, asks you to leave...and everyone around you evaporates.
