How do GM's feel about attachments on EtU weapons? Namely the Blastech LBR-9 Stun Rifle, it has 4 HPs.

The Marksman Barrel, 2HPs, CRB p. 190, reads "...this modification may only be applied to blaster rifles."

Forearm Grip, 1HP, CRB p. 190, "This Attachment can only be used on rifles (but not heavy rifles) and carbines."

The Blastech LBR-9, EtU p. 39, has a line in there that reads "... is a long-barreled, light-framed blaster rifle..."

As a player, obviously I'd want them both.

But as a GM, I'm thinking the stock, long-barrel on the LBR-9 already gives it it's range and cannot be upgraded. But since it's a blaster rifle, I don't particularly take issue with the Forearm Grip.

I'd be okay with it; the characters customizing these weapons are generally going to be of the sort that would relish these modifications. However, if these things grate on your good GM senses, then just make them incredibly difficult to find.

I agree with themensch, and not just because we have the same avatar

Also, only allow the guys to get their hands one mod at a time for now. Let them have one mod, see how it goes, and after a few adventures, possibly let them get another one. Nothing says you have to have everything at once.

**Edit, themensch and I had the same avater, but he changed it. The above was only a joke though...

FFG Please allow us to have our own Avatars!!!!!!

Given that it's designed to fill the niche of Long Range Stun, I'd permit the barrel, but probably not the grip. I definitely wouldn't allow them both on the same weapon, since their functions run at cross purposes. If they want an up-close and personal stun weapon, the CRB has plenty of options for that.

I tried to change it but this site + chrome = pain sometimes. Can't help that we both have excellent taste in avatars!
