Infinite Damage in a round

By deanruel, in Game Mechanics

I believe you can use Jury-Rig, Auto-fire, and Walking Fire to gain an unlimited number of attacks. This should probably be dealt with unless I'm incorrect on one of my rules assumptions.

Jury-Rig lets you reduce the advantage a weapon effect requires by one, Auto-Fire lets you make an extra attack for one advantage, Walking Fire lets you target additional people with your additional auto-fire attacks. If you reduce the cost of auto-firing by one it now costs no advantage to get an extra attack and thusly if you use Jury-rig, Auto-fire, and Walking Fire and you hit your original target you can repeat attacks unlimitedly until you just auto-kill everything in your range.

If this reading is correct it could be solved by saying that Jury-Rig cannot reduce the cost of an effect below 1 advantage.

Uh, yeah. This is a good catch. I looked at the talent description for jury-rigged (pg. 95), the weapon quality section (pp. 105-7), and the combat section (pg. 132), and can't find a rule that provides for a minimum one advantage requirement to activate a weapon quality. This may be due to the fact that some active abilities (e.g. stun) don't require advantages to activate. But this is still an issue and needs to be addressed.

I'd say this would be a case of common sense in that Jury-Rigged can't reduce the Advantage cost to less than one, but you're right in that it should be addressed.

Aye, it just requires a few words saying that you can't reduce the number of advantages required by less than 1.

Or even just something like "to a minimum cost of 1 Advantage" after the bit about reducing the Advantage cost on a weapon.

Hi all,

That's a good catch; Jury Rigged should be "to a minimum of one" with Advantage. That'll be corrected in a future Errata. Thanks!
