Subject: Strength and Body and Recoil Comp, oh my ...

Okay, sue me, I'm new to the list, and don't really know the format 'round
here. Forgive any net-faux-pas ...


I've been wondering if one couldn't use strength and body to reduce recoil. I
mean, it would only make sense that a troll with a strength of 10 should be
able to hold a gun on target better than a human with a strength of 3.
Also, someone with a bigger body (more mass) should be able to brace the
gun better as well.

This is what I've come up with ...

STR Recoil Modifier BOD Recoil Modifier
===== ================= ===== =================
5-6 -1 5-6 -1
7-9 -2 7-9 -2
10-13 -3 10 -3
14+ -4

Note that these stats include cyberware, but not dermal plating. I would
expect that these would go for magically adjusted stats as well.

Whaddya think chummers?
