Question about Jury Rigged

By aintsaint, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

I run a Klatooinian bounty hunter- Assassin/Gadgeteer. He uses a Heavy Blaster Rifle, which as you all know, has Auto-fire. I recently took the Gadgeteer tree as my second specialization.

Now, jury-rigged wasn't the ONLY reason I took the tree, but it was a big part of it. I was so excited about being able to trigger auto-fire for one advantage.

But my GM won't let me use jury-rigged for auto-fire. He says that since it doesn't have a number designation- Like Blast(2) that it doesn't work. I disagree.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

By the rules, you are correct. However, reducing the cost of Autofire down to 1 advantage is potentially devastating to game balance. There have been a number of threads on this board about it if you want a longer explanation.

Thanks for the response. Sorry to be redundant. I'm new to the forum and didn't see the search function. (it's kinda hidden.) I've located it, and also the threads you were talking about. Thanks again!

No problem. I wasn't trying to be rude; I just knew I didn't have the time to give you all of the details that are already posted about it on older threads. A little redundancy from time to time isn't necessarily bad (unless it's the DH2 forum and arguments about the stillborn Beta) since opinions sometimes change over time.

Yes, even on the internet. :D
