Usda Beph:
That bad hunh? ??? :-\

Irian:
Well, even Specialists must start somewhere...

Walks Through Walls:
If I was going to make a beginning weapon specialist I would specialize in a type of weapon of fighting. It takes tooo many BP to get everything to a moderate level.

As it stands now with your guns or close in fighting you get 10 dice to hit. A street sam who is good with 1 weapon will also roll 10 dice minimum (I'm thinking 5 agility 5 in skill)

Now to hit in hand to hand or close combat it gets much worse. A character with a moderate reaction (say 4) 4 levels in dodge and 4 in a weapon will actually have more dice to full parry than you get to hit. I wouldn't want my weapon specialist (or any combat specialist) to be missing more often than hitting especially when you figure you have nothing giving you multiple passes in initiative. So said sam full out parries your 1st attack then goes at you for his next two actions. Then you act and I full out parry and repeat again. It doesn't take long till you are wounded and now even deeper in the drek.

Also while a silent shot is nice in some situations do you need both throwing weapons and archery.
Another problem with the shotgun approach to skills is that to raise them to a high level takes more karma than taking a couple high to start and then filling in the holes with the karma

Hope this helps I'd be happy to offer more ideas if you like

Usda Beph:
I had thought about that, but I figured I'd Spec after I knew what i liked Best. Thrown weapons are shorter range than a Bow. So yeah i kinda wanted to go with both. officially I was thinking of fighting only with weapons (not unarmed so much).
