Which reminds me - I've been meaning to ask. What effect did FirePower
ammo and reactive triggers have? I've got SSC2 and it's got a couple of
pages blanked out (can you believe that? What a tease!). They seem to
have pics of bullets (the FirePower ammo, I assume) and clips (???
special FirePower clips?) on them. What am I missing there?
IPE grenades WERE dropped from SSC2, although airburst grenades
weren't. They were later included in Fields of Fire, however, although
there was no explanation of what IPE meant, IIRC, or why they were 50%
better than standard grenades.
And I dunno about normal grenades being useless. I remember one time a
GM had us trapped in a 10th storey apartment. My character borrowed a
concussion grenade from one of the other characters (he tended to use
his throwing skill for shurikens) and tossed it out into the hallway.
Three of us. 10 of them. Small hallway. As I recall, not one of the
remained conscious after that.
Okay, so I had the "chunky salsa" effect on my side, but you should've
seen the look on the GM's face...:)
*Doc' still has dreams about that one..."Oh, chunky salsa! Oh! Ohhh!!!"*
