Streetsam has specialised his pistol skill to a 7 or 8 in Ares Predators.
This is way into World Class. That would mean that everyone in the sprawl
and outside it should recognise the guy as being the guy who can hit a wasp
at 200 yards with a pistol.
Anyone incorporate this?
I'm trying to get this accross to players. So that we stop having
characters who don't know how to drive or tie their own shoelaces, but
they're 18 and have better small arms skills than most seal teams. And when
you ask how and why, they go well, uhm, he trained his whole life. GM
goes, but where, why did he. Did you personally at 12 own a pistol. No.
Do you own one now? No. Y not? Cause my dad won't let me. Y did your
characters dad let him? I don't know, he was abducted by these guys who
trained him and then he escaped. Sorry son, in this world you have to pay
for training. Unless of course it's the Taliban, in which case please roll
me a D6, if you roll anything other than a 6 you where used as a suicide
bomber and are therefore dead. etc?
