TaxiMan Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 The well-worn barroom doors noisily slap behind Matt as he walks into the place. Dried blood and wet beer stain the floor and a thick cloud of stale smoke hangs at eye level in the dim light of yellow-burning gas lamps. The poker players and the drunks go quiet, sensing the coming confrontation. Gentleman Jim slowly rises from the card game, and straightens his San Francisco silk vest. Calmly, with the arrogance known only to those who never lose, he faces Matt. His hands do the normal things hands do; check his pocketwatch, straighten his tie, smooth his shirt sleeves - never straying far from his pearl handled revolvers. Matt peripherally notices two of Jim's hired guns, one to each side of him. They make no effort to hide the shotguns they lazily handle, barrels drifting towards Matt's position. More blood will hit the floor tonight. Gentleman Jim's eyes slide over his two henchmen, and they nod back their acknowledgement. In that split instant, Matt jerks his father's pair of Colts from their cracked leather holsters and stretches his arms forth to the sides like a priest giving benediction. The guns crack and spit flame almost instantaneously - two shotguns drop to the floor as the men are knocked back over tables and barstools, leaking out their lives alongside spitoons and cigar butts. Gentleman Jim takes in this man with a fresh eye. This farmer's son is more than he first thought! So how do I have Matt fire at two thugs? A huge autofire with skipover sprayfire and enormous bonuses to counteract the 180 degree separation? Yuck! He doesn't have massive SPD, so that's not what I want - besides, he shoots the two goons at the same time. I've read about autofire and the special skills and stuff, but I've never had to do this before (it never came up). Is this the only way to shoot twice? Is there a better way? If not, can anyone explain the ins and outs of the weird power / skill construct necessary to shoot two goons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 The Rapid Fire maneuver from FREd should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiMan Posted May 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Rapidfire hmmmm..... Musta missed it. I'll read up about it tonight. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Since your gunslinger carries two pistols, having him buy the Two-Weapon Fighting Skill would also improve his ability to use the Rapid Fire maneuver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
