Using CSL and PSL with Multiple Attacks

[BhelliomRahl]

Good day.

 

Want to confirm how Combat and Penalty Skill Levels can be allocated in relation to Multiple Attacks.

 

If the CSL applies to all attacks used (assuming different sources) can they be applied to all of them.

i.e. Character has 2 CSL with All range Weapons(8pt) and 2 CLS with All Pistols(3pt)

and had +4 PSL to offset Range Penalty.

Assuming he fires two guns; one pistol and one shotgun (sawn-off). How can he apply his skill levels?

Would it be +2 OCV to Shotgun and +4 OCV to pistol, negating -4 for his RSL

or do you have to apply each SL to one source of attack..

Or would he only be able to use the +2 to All ranged attacks as it can be applied to both attacks and not the +2 to all pistols because it can only be applied to one attack of the multiple attack?

Re: Using CSL and PSL with Multiple Attacks

 

The rules on 6E2 77 discuss how CSLs (and by extension relevant PSLs) apply to Multiple Attack. As noted there, the character you're describing could apply his All Combat CSLs and his Range PSLs, but not his Pistol CSLs (because they cannot apply to one of the attacks involved).

 

If you still have questions after reviewing those rules, please feel free to post a follow-up.
