* Disclaimer: I like MGT, house rules aren't a slam on the RAW, all game systems/settings should be adjusted to taste.
I don't like the dynamic initiative. I don't want to keep track of a number of NPCs initiative scores going up and down every round.
Here's the idea: Drop dynamic initiative and the DM penalties for Reactions. Initiative is set and character's can use Reactions without penalty.
Recoil and Heft: Use the RAW except the penalty is applied to the character's Attack roll on every following round until they spend a Significant Action getting the weapon back under control. In other words, if Recoil or Heft gives your character a penalty, you can avoid the penalty by attacking every other round (spending the round in between getting the weapon back under control).
Other than making it harder to score a hit, I don't see any problem with the above rules - anyone see a problem?
The above rules is an attempt to change the RAW as little as possible. I'm also tinkering with making at least melee combat contested rolls (like MGT Grapple rules).
Besides comments on dropping dynamic initiative, I'd be interested in seeing any other combat house rules.
