Re: AW: [DL] Revised Rules for Weapons
Markus,
If you could please post a complete write-up of your changes to the list I
would greatly appreciate it. The idea intrigues me as I, too, agree the
guns are a little too similar for my taste. I understand the simplicity
aspect of it, but I don't mind letting the Posse have a little bit more
customized guns, with the applicable bonuses/negatives applied.
One of my big questions is the difference between standard-issue guns and
the very expensive custom ones. Perhaps better range increments? Less
detrimental effects on a 20 dr? A $150 gun has to be better somehow.
(Pearl handles not withstanding)
