NCP=NPC (can't edit topic...)

I would like to suggest that in the "Unimportant" part of the novice NPC rules, it gets added that a single hit doing 10 or more damage will kill the NPC outright.

2 Wounds requires two hit, but if you make a sniper hit doing 15 damage it will not kill this unimportant NPC, which clearly should be the case. It is still easier to do 2 wounds than 10 damage, but at least high hitters have a way of one hit killing the unimportants.

Was about to suggest this in the former thread. Either two hits or one hit doing more then 10 damage seems like a good way to balance this, not only for snipers but also other high damage, but singelshot weapons.

I see no problem with this.

I already suggest double Defence Value, it would scale better with [Larger] Mooks and apply to elites as well.

How about creating a new weapon trait for heavy hitting weapons, such as Launchers, Grenades, Snipers, ect.

For Example(Name just placeholder)

Devastating(X) - When this weapon hit it activates righteous fury on (X) or higher

I.E. Give the Sniper rifle Devastating(7) and voila insta-kill on a 7 or higher more likely to

critical wound and take out that pesky mook in a single hit giving a more sniper feel

Also

I.E. Grenades (depending on type) Devastating(X) would allow you to plop a grenade in a

group of mooks and take them out not having to worry about them surviving automatically

and coming to mob your face

Besides in DH1E a sniper shot that roll a five or below is most of the time only going to be a grazing blow anyways, this ability illistrates that as well as giving a sniper or another single hit weapon that feeling of doing damage and hitting hard.

I believe this also might help balance auto weapons and single shot.

This suggestion may be a little out there though.

I agree with the idea of increasing RF range on weapons, but it might make more sense to make RF range a stat for all weapons, to prevent trait overload.
