RE: [HOE] A question asked before, but need more help please

Definitely a good point.  It would depend on how your Marshal interpreted
things.  I infer from some posts that there are groups that go with the
aiming finger approach, and there are some that don't.  To each their own.

Another response was to the effect "would longer fingers via mutation or
Claws power help with aiming?"  I'd say no, because I interpret the Claws to
be long (good for aim) but curved (bad for aim).  For mutation, it'd depend.
Do the fingers mutate in a ruler-straight way?  Or in a bent, arthritic way?
Or in a non-rigid tentacle way?  And if you go with the point made by
toadpooka, it ain't Shootin', so it ain't aimin'.  To my mind that would
mean that some of the Shootin' penalties wouldn't apply then -- like maybe
penalties for shooter Ridin' fast.  If it ain't aimin', then your aim can't
be spoiled.  Penaties that affect your ability to see your target would
still apply.
