This is the Second Rule I have added:
Remember the skill is -1 the level of the expert (ie. Expert/3 = skill 2 and expert 1 = skill 0)
If using this combination of hardware and software, each manipulator makes its own attack based on the Expert level of Gun Combat. Note that the max computer ability of an Intelligent Weapon is Computer/3, thus with this it could only run its Intellect/1 and Gun or Melee Combat Expert/2 at maximum giving an effective skill of 1 but still receiving +1 for the P-HUD, plus the Characteristic DM of the Manipulator. Autofire still grants additional attacks equal to the autofire rating of the weapons.
Dual Weapons:
If attempting a Dual Weapon attack using additional manipulators or limbs the following applies:
Extra limbs or manipulators to use in a grapple to grab with; if you have 1 or more extra limbs to use in the grapple, you get a +1 and any characteristic DM the limb or manipulator might have. These extra limbs used to better chances in a grapple may not be used to deliver weapons damage either in cuffs or weapons mounts.
Weapons Used by Additional Manipulator Augments Including Grapples and Dual Weapon attacks:
Weapons can be used by Additional Manipulators in attacks. However, normally an attacker can only attack with a limit of 2 limbs or additional manipulators due to limits imposed by the biological brain. This can be overcome with clever use of computers using Intellect and Expert Software to make their own independent attacks. Requirements for this are as follows:- Additional Manipulator Augment
- Neural Link or Jack Augment with computer2+ Running Intellect 2+ (if two manipulators)
- Weapon with Intelligent Weapon Accessory with Computer/2+ Running Intellect/1 and Expert/1+.
Remember the skill is -1 the level of the expert (ie. Expert/3 = skill 2 and expert 1 = skill 0)
- P-HUD Accessory with Weapons Module on all weapons to be used by manipulator.
If using this combination of hardware and software, each manipulator makes its own attack based on the Expert level of Gun Combat. Note that the max computer ability of an Intelligent Weapon is Computer/3, thus with this it could only run its Intellect/1 and Gun or Melee Combat Expert/2 at maximum giving an effective skill of 1 but still receiving +1 for the P-HUD, plus the Characteristic DM of the Manipulator. Autofire still grants additional attacks equal to the autofire rating of the weapons.
Dual Weapons:
If attempting a Dual Weapon attack using additional manipulators or limbs the following applies:
- The max number of limbs or manipulators natural or augments that can be operated by a character is 2.
- The max number of manipulators that can be operated by Intellect software is 1 per level of Intellect via the Neural Link/Jack.
- In both cases, using more than one imposes the -2 dual weapon modifier.
- If the character is attacking with limbs, while using Intellect to attack with manipulators, either dual or single, there is a further -2 difficulty modifier imposed on the Intellect software to try to make its attack around the movement of the character’s body and limbs, which is added to any dual weapon attack modifier to become -4.
Extra limbs or manipulators to use in a grapple to grab with; if you have 1 or more extra limbs to use in the grapple, you get a +1 and any characteristic DM the limb or manipulator might have. These extra limbs used to better chances in a grapple may not be used to deliver weapons damage either in cuffs or weapons mounts.
