Dracula's America rules questions

[dartfrog]

Pity to hear it's not taken off as much as the other titles (that said they did go crazy popular). I was hoping to see more on the Mexican front, and still plan on heading that way with our group.

Thanks for the reply! I do have one other question.

 If a forsaken group has a skill like lead belly on its creature form, does that add to the posse's infamy? I would imagine not, as it is not the basic form of the model.  Also, there are other factions that similarly have special characters with starting skills. Do these add to the factions infamy?

Thanks so much!

We've always played that creature skills do add to infamy if they are always in play. My Kin ghouls are Supernatural and Fearsome all the time, so the skills add infamy.
Not sure abt Forsaken

Where can you get the info on the 'kin'?

As LeadAsbestos, on our side we always add the infamy due to the skills of all models in the possee. So its include skills from the creatures forms of forsaken, indians, etc.

Thanks for the link! Time to get nasty and bitey

My other question - Do Mutations count towards Infamy in the same way that skills do? Common sense would dictate that a person with a tentacle for an arm would be pretty infamous - but nothing in the rules states that this is the case.

Thanks in advance - fantastic game by the way!

 

I'm curious to see the author answer to that..

[garcia5156]

Hi again. So is this the official response, creatures' skills add to infamy? And what about Dark Confederacy revenents? They have Hard to Kill but they show up temporarily and in random numbers. Do they add to a posse's infamy? If so, they certainly don't last beyond the match, so at campaign's end, they wouldn't be present to garner the extra infamy to potentially help the posse win. Odd group, that one!

[LeadAsbestos]

Revenants do not add infamy. My unofficial answer, of course!

[dartfrog]

I'd say they don't add as well. However the boss may get a +1 for the fact he seems to have them around him.

So here's another: Repeater Rifle and Trigger Happy. Please tell me one action doesn't allow 4 shots!

Yes, it works, see the FAQ of the author, answering the same question :

"A model with Triggerhappy and a Repeater Rifle
can fire four shots with a solo activation?
Also correct- four shots (and 4 times the chance of a
Jam, of course)!"

I've used the rule to simulate an SMG in a DR Who type game using the rules. Seemed fine, though deadly if lucky.

By the hell , what is a "SMG in a DR Who type game" ??
