Badger Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Ok, just a couple minor questions 1) Creating special goggles. I've got all but one thing figured out. The one thing I havent is that I want an "anti-flash" feature to reduce the glare on any flash attacks. I really dont know how much to give it. I want to be more than mere "sunglasses" 2) A regular scope for a gun, what would be a proper amount on Range Modifier. I feel stupid asking, but I've never felt comfortable with how much I always put on such, I feel I put too much or too little. I just want to get an idea on others opinions on that. Note: These arent connected in any way (2 different pieces of equipment) Just loose ends I need more on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjalund Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Re: 2 separate equipment abilities 1) to work out what flash defense you need, you must have an idea of what level of flash it will encounter Then decide which of these flashes can be stopped by your goggles. 2) work out the practicalities don't think of penalties - think of distance ('Without' compered to 'With'). then convert that to a PSL.

Well, the largest RMod on any conventional published weapon is +3, representing a high-powered optical sight. I suppose a super-rangefinding sight might get a +4. On the other end, many weapons get a +1 for iron sights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range mods Laser sights: +8 to +14 v. Range mods Micrometer sight: +14 v. Range mods Telescopic sights: +3 to +15 v. Range mods All of these have limitations: laser sights won't work in "adverse" conditions -- anything that effects visibility of the beam. The others require the attacker to be braced, set or both to get the modifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes sense why created "snipers" couldnt shoot worth crap. (well to their expected ability of course. (and yeah I assumed you needed to "brace" for aiming) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'll have to think on that flash thing. I'll try to compute some "possible" flashes, so I can estimate. If I have any more questions after that I'll ask.
