RE: (TFT) Secondary Strike --> Rick's thoughts.

["rsmith" <rsmith@lightspeed.ca>]

Hi Dan,
	I did notice the fact that the extra
attacks were at cumulative penalties, etc., but
you have to understand that my TFT campaign
has a number of very experienced and powerful
characters.  They have a different view of 
DX 15 or even DX 20 than most TFT campaigns.

	Also with a bit of luck, they not only
get an extra attack (a big deal) but they 
could get an extra attack after that!   Or
even MORE!!!!

	I like to build TFT rules that work 
across a very wide range of experience levels.
I look at my campaign as a reality check for
'will this rule work at high experience 
levels?'  So it is hardly surprising that I
see at once weaknesses in rules that would
work fine for lower level campaigns.

	Rick

Rick,

    well, keep in mind that it is a cumulative.  First shot is a normal DX,
    next is at -2, next is at -4, etc.   You have to hit and do damage 
    every time for this to be used -- and it could only be used with 
    certain types of weapons.

    I see what you are saying though -- would seem to be much more
    applicable in a cinematic type of campaign.

    Oh well, put another idea on the scrap heap.  I'll come up with 
    one that finds some group resonance sometime!   :D

Dan
