Rifle help.

[Badger]

Just a minor question. I want to give a rifle a removable scope. If adding the scope, how would that affect it. I am thinking either CSL, or Penalty Skill level, to be added when the scope is put on to signify better aim. Or should I use a power (enhanced PER?)

I'd have thought that a scope reduces range modifiers AND makes an aimed shot more likely to hit. I'd probably do it with one CSL level limited to 'when aiming' and one PSL (range modifiers), both obviously bought at a levels you CAN limit, so you get the OAF limitation etc in there too.

These devices help the shooter aim better, and thus are bought as Combat (and/or Range) Skill Levels

Thanks for the help.

Dont have Dark Champion book though.

I generally have scopes provide +2 PSL vs. Hit Location Penalties and +2 PSL vs. Range per x2 Magnification. All of this requires the Set maneuver as a limitation (-1/2), and usually OAF (Fragile): Scope (-1 1/4), Real Weapon (-1/4).
