Subject: Getting a Firearms skill of 10 from 1 in one day!
Date: Mon, 18 Apr 1994 00:08:31 -0400
I was earlier today informed by one of my friends that suppression fire in FOF
is to powerful.

This is the reason why:
1) Take a person with firearms skill of 1
2) give that person a assualt rife able to do full-auto
3) make that person suppress an one meter area at full-auto that people are at
4) The attacker doesn't have to roll one die
5) The people in the one meter area under suppression fire are looking at a ten
die roll coming at them.
6) GM rolls 10 dice (number of bullets fired) for each person.
7) etc...

you see what I'm getting at. A person doesn't need a good skill anymore. A
person just now needs a gun that can fire a lot of bullets and beable to do
suppression fire.

I would like a lot of help on how to avoid this situation and I have a lot of
ideas, but they are all to way complex and the last thing I want to do is make
SR2 complex.
