Reliable Plasma Weapons...

By Smokes, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

So in our game one of the richer characters wanted to buy a good quality plasma gun. Being good quality, the plasma gun would then have the "reliable" trait, which allows you a lesser chance to jam.

The question was brought up, does this have any bearing on the overheat trait? Normally a weapon would overheat on a 91+ (with the overheat trait), would reliable then give it a lower chance to overheat, or let you reroll counting overheating like a jam?

Input would be appreciated.

Well,

I would reason yes and no...Overheat still counts but on a 96+

Okay, somehow I doubled up, mods, please remove

exactly, I could see reasons for both. Our GM gave the same ruling (96+) but since I also run, I was wondering what others did before I made my own ruling for my game.

thank you
