Combat Skill Levels and linked attacks...

[Tugun Master]

If I have linked attacks that are able to be affected by the same CSLs/Overall Levels, such as a pair of handguns, do the Levels affect both/all linked alike attacks equally? Or do they need top be divided between the attacks?

 

e.g. Fourarmed (OCV 7) draws a bead with his four handgun attacks. He has say +4 Overall Skill Levles. He uses 2 Levels to add to his OCV, the other 2 for raising his damage with pistols by +1 BODY. Does he get:

 

1/OCV 9 with one attack and OCV 7 with the others, and +1 BODY to one of the damage results?

OR

2/OCV 9 with all pistol attacks, and +1 BODY to all the pistol attacks?

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking. If two powers are Linked, they effectively count as one power, and a Level that applies to that “one power” applies to the whole thing. It’s only one Attack Roll, after all.

 

If you mean something other than two Linked powers, please post a follow-up.
