Does this penalty apply even if you are doing a free action Multiple Attacks and dividing your dice pool among multiple targets?With a burst fire weapon you have three options.
1. Aim at one target and tap the trigger once. This is the "Fire Semi-Auto, Single-Shot, Burst Fire or Full-Auto" Simple Action. The weapon will automatically fire 3 bullets. You resolve it as one single attack. Since the attacker is firing 3 bullets at the target, the target get a negative dice pool modifier of 2 dice to avoid getting hit.
2. Aim at one target and tap the trigger twice. This is the "Fire Long Burst or Semi-Auto Burst" Complex Action. The weapon will fire 3 + 3 bullets which will be resolved as one single attack. Since the attacker is firing 6 bullets at the target, the target get a negative dice pool modifier of 5 dice to avoid getting hit.
3. Aim at one target within short or medium range and tap the trigger once, then aim at a second target within short or medium range and tap the trigger a second time. This is the "Fire Long Burst or Semi-Auto Burst" Complex Action combined with a "Multiple Attacks" Free Action. The attacker need to have a weapon skill (not dice pool) of 3+ in order to attempt this. The attacker split the dice pool between the two attacks. Since the attacker is firing 3 bullets at each target, they both get a negative dice pool modifier of 2 dice to avoid getting hit.For example a SA burst ...With a SA weapon you also have 3 options.
1. Aim at one target and tap the trigger once. This is the "Fire Semi-Auto, Single-Shot, Burst Fire or Full-Auto" Simple Action. The weapon will automatically fire 1 bullet. Since the attacker is only firing one bullet at the target, the target don't get a negative dice pool modifier to avoid getting hit.
2. Aim at one target and tap the trigger three times. This is the "Fire Long Burst or Semi-Auto Burst" Complex Action. The weapon will fire 1 + 1 + 1 bullets which will be resolved as one single attack. Since the attacker is firing 3 bullets at the target, the target get a negative dice pool modifier of 2 dice to avoid getting hit.
3. Aim at one target within short or medium range and tap the trigger once, then aim at a second target within short or medium range and tap the trigger a second time, then aim at a third target within short or medium range and tap the trigger a third time. This is the "Fire Long Burst or Semi-Auto Burst" Complex Action combined with a "Multiple Attacks" Free Action. The attacker need to have a weapon skill (not dice pool) of 5+ in order to attempt this. The attacker split the dice pool between the three attacks. Since the attacker is only firing one bullet per target they don't get a negative dice pool modifier to avoid getting hit.
Ares Alpha and Yamaha Raiden more than make up for it by both having an under-barrel grenade launcher (that you now also no longer need a separate skill investment to properly use)Where is this clarified? We play that the rifle portion uses Firearms and under-barrel launchers use Exotic Weapons (Launchers).
No no.... not suggesting you should declare your post edge actions pre test-roll, you (or course) declare post edge action after the test have been taken (step one above).Quote2. and then you you both decide to reroll 3 dice (before any dice are actually rolled)declaring your intention to use post-roll edge before any dice are rolled is too punishing;

Candidates I've come up with are Matrix Search (but the 10 minute interval hurts), Matrix Perception, and Hash Check (but we don't have anything to look for other than "shiny")There are no rules around this so you are free to make it up on the fly as you go, but we resolve it with a Hash Check Major Action test where the hash is known and have a threshold of 1 IF the hacker (before the run) did their homework and researched the target host (which we resolve as a simple Matrix Search test that takes 10 minutes to complete) or otherwise unknown and have a threshold of 4.
3) How do you (I'm looking at you experienced players/Gm's) design your basic enemy goons? Do you simply copy the book templates as is with minor alterations or do you have some system to randomize a little this step? I've thought about counting attribute and skill points of every PR level and then just moving them freely but I'm not sure that's the correct way to do it.
