Autofire Advantage

[ghost-angel]

Was working with a Vehicle and ran across a little oddity.

When Selecting Autofire and an option from the pull down menu (5 Shots) if you change the text to "4 Shots" it doesn't change in the output display in HD.

I know when you change the text of pull down menus and such in other Advantages the output text also changes. Was wondering if this was a bug or is there something different with how Autofire is working?

Autofire works differently. Specifically, it's "non-linear" in its progression for the number of shots.

2 shots is a +1/4 Advantage

3 shots is a +1/4 Advantage

5 shots is a +1/2 Advantage

10 shots is a +1 Advantage

15 shots is a +1 1/2 Advantage

and so on.

Because of those first two levels (2 and 3 shots), Autofire needs to key directly off of the selection in the drop down list (with the multiplier for x2 shots factoring in if needed/applicable).

Normally I would make something like that a level-based ability, but the first two costs prevent that type of idea from working and require the current approach.

If you want a different number of shots than the doublings represented in the list, note it in the ability writeup or notes area.

OK, I had an idea it might be something like that. Thanks for the info.
