In my mind this depends on the setting. If opponents are also without shields and heavy armor then this should work just fine. If the setting is a mixed bag of rapier wielding rogues and plate mail clad heavy men-at-arms then the swashbuckler is quite not so easy to leave a fight alive. What...

Funnily enough I have also thought about it along the same lines. Obviously I have not taken the plot so far or rather thought of it so deeply but reversed roles were the idea. I have read the "Last Wish" and maybe it was brewing somewhere in the subconscious...

Nah, Death is not a necessity. Dredd keeping his helmet on is far more important. In fact I have pretty high hopes for this flick after the disappointment of Stallone's version...

Actually I have spent a little bit time thinking about this. If the system uses XP, then you don't get as much XP when using underhanded tactics as you would get using fair combat tactics.

Wasn't it from Deciphet? The company that did Dune RPG that saw only a very limited distribution.

Oh, okay. This could work... I like your take on DV setting.

If I understood this correctly, there would be no witchers in the party but rather other oddities... This could work but for how long? I mean how many different parties could be done with this idea without it resembling a freak circus? :D Having said that, the world of the books is facinating...

No problem, not my thread :D I just wanted to make sure to what part I was answering :)

Getting back to the original question. I think there is one inheritent problem with this setting, namely witchers. Even if you set the game earlier era when there were many more witchers than at the time of Geralt they mostly operate alone and are pretty powerful. So, what the PCs would be? If...

I would be really excited to get the Witcher RPG (setting) like I already mentioned :) However there is already a Polish Witcher RPG out there, so I don't know if there is a possibility or even a market for that setting. Granted, video games might promote the setting somewhat but while I like...

That would be great! I think this was discussed at some time in here...

The damage, of course, depends on the caliber of the rifle. Most of the rifles use same calibers as other rifles, like 7.62x51 mm NATO. There are other rifle caliber, too. So, they shouldn't cause more damage than other rifles with the same caliber. On the other hand there are so-called...

In that case 3 ACs should be fine for reloading. This should create situations where reloading really is a bum and it becomes part of your tactics that you have to take into account in your plans... In reality telescopic sights are adjusted based on the body proportions of the shooter, range...

About reloading: In reality changing mags takes quite a bit of time, at least in my experience. That's why in fixed position mags are sometimes placed to ground so they are quicker to pick up than from an ammo pouch. Maybe 3 ACs is enough at least as a starting point. Sniper rifle in close...

Full auto or bursts should work great at short distances, even then amount of ammo is the limit. Changing the mag should take some time (eject the mag, pick the mag from a pouch, insert the fresh mag and even cock the weapon again). This should make you think about using automatic fire. Single...
