Skilled Shots or called shot

[vanb88]

Greetings,
I have an idea, for either an extended shot, called shot, or a skilled shot. I wanted to see what people think.

rules for called shot
1. Only people with 2 shots a turn, can call a shot.
2.the person that calls a shot must do so at start of turn, and that shot will be taken last. they only get 1 shot that turn.
3. The distance for a called shot will be their shot skill+1/2. (Example:They can normal shot twice a distance of 6. Using a called shot, they can shot a distance of 9 once.

Just an idea.

Van,

Let me see if I understand you here.

You are basically talking about any figure with two target bolts.

Let's use a generic person: Long Range Guy.

Long Range Guy has two target bolts and a range of 6 for his attack.

Normal rules allow a multi-target ranged attack (damage reduced to 1) or a single target ranged attack (damage as printed).

These people can make a "Called Shot" ranged attack. They target a single character and get to add half of their range to their existing range. That shot is made last in the player's turn.

So Long Range Guy can either shot at one target six spaces away, use a mutli-target attack at two targets (each six spaces away, damage reduced to one) or make a "called shot" attack at one character nine spaces away.

What about damage reduction? Are we reducing or not? I'd say a negative one to damage migth even it out as a viable house rule. I'd also say it should be excluded from use with RCE, but that's just me.
