Autofire Questions

[Christopher]

Hello. I have two new questions:

1) As far as I understand you can not use an Autofire Advantage (or fire less than the full number of shoots). Does not using the full Advantage change how the DC adding works?

Example: 2d6 Blast, Autofire (10 Shoots, +1), 20 AP or 2 DC/1d6.

If the weapon is now used in sigle Fire (one precise shoot/not using the advantage) would extra DC from CSL, Weaponmaster, Haymaker and the like add 1d6/1 DC or 1d6/2 DC?

Or would it require a seperate "Single Shoot" Power to get the better DC modifier?

 

2)What happens if a Power with only normal Reduced END (not the one nessesary for Autofire) is used with a Naked Autofire Advantage?

First shoot free? All shoots free? All shoots, inlcuding first, cost normally? Not useable with autofire?

Re: Autofire Questions

 

1. Choosing to use less than the full number of Autofire shots a character has available to him does not in any way affect the calculation of how DCs are added to the attack.

 

2. If a character applies a naked Autofire Advantage to an attack that has the Reduced Endurance Advantage, the following occurs: Reduced Endurance (½ END; +¼) affects the base power as normal but has no effect on the Autofire’s END cost; Reduced Endurance (0 END; +½) affects the base power as normal but only reduces the END cost of the Autofire to ½ END per shot. Thus, a character who expects to use a naked Autofire Advantage frequently with an attack and doesn’t want to spend a lot of END should consider paying the higher Reduced Endurance cost for Autofire attacks for the base power, even if that won’t have any additional effect when he’s not using Autofire.
