Tired of Ricochets ??

If, like me you had enough ricochet in a game to feel like the gaming table is a ping-pong or a pool table then you should check that.

6 Head shot Targets go out of action if it misses his armour save. If the target have a helmet, roll a die, on a 6, the target is stunned instead.

Interesting. I chuckled at the head shot for blackpowder weapons.

Should the master shot for miscellaneous weapons also have +1 injury roll like for piercing missile weapons? If not then could you change the name as I would like the same rule name to have the same effect to make it easier to remember.

I haven't used the optional critical hit charts from the rulebook yet so I can't really comment much more on these.

Well,

I was out of idea for the ''master shot'' name of miscellanous weapons... any idea ?

I know the head shot is powerful, but its inspired from the best critical with bludgeons close combat. It also make blackpowder weapons a bit more interesting. In our games, crossbow tend to be much more used than handguns.. this tend to give them an edge.

Yeah I wondered about that. You did a good job coming up with as many unique names as you did. I personally see no reason not to just add +1 injury roll and make them the same. I know that you already have the +1 injury roll effect for dangerous hit so maybe you wanted to make them more different.
