Hi

The Gunslinger skill allows to shoot 2 pistols in the same action.   If I shot the 2 pistols in the first action,  can I  shoot  these 2 pistols again in the second actiion?

 It seems no as the rules say: Each Weapon can only be fired once per Activation.(a activation may have 2 actions)

[LeRatierBretonnien]

Yes, for me , it's a "no". One weapon can fire only once per Activation.

Thanks for the Eldritch response above !

Maybe alredy asked, but  :

- What is the purpose of the 'Hawkeye' skill of the Guard Dog mercenary (Hunting Grounds) ?

I was wondering if the Guard Dog makes any sense at all. It doesn't have ranged attacks, so the ability to see in the dark seems to be wasted, too. Seems to be an error. Or do I misunderstand the role of the Dog?

Edit: To clarify my question: Does it make any sense to take the Guard Dog outside Stealth Missions?

[Easy E]

The Guard dogs ability to "see in the Dark" helps it spot as a sentry in Stealth Missions.

I’m rereading through the rules this evening, and starting on page 100, The Factions, I notice some may say something like:

“Only Native American Posses may join this faction” (skinwalkers) or “Native American Posses can never join this faction” (crossroads)

But what exactly is a Native American Posse? I mean, are they defined anywhere and I’m missing it? Is it a posse with a certain percentage of Native American models in it?

It appears there are some cultural/ancestry/ethnicity restrictions in regards to which factions posses can join which faction, but I don’t think these groups are spelled out anywhere. Maybe I’m missing it?

[metalface13]

I think that was supposed to mean like Native American hired guns can't join them?

[Luisito]

How do you play the Guilaos in Hunting Grounds? Do they enter the Hunting grounds freely?

[Easy E]

Regarding native American Posse, you have to recall that all the Fantasy stuff is an "add-on" to Dracula's America.  It's core is a Wild West game.  Therefore, without the Fantasy stuff, and Native American gang is a Native American posse.  Does that make any sense?

I follow the separation of the wild west portion vs the fantasy add-ons, but I still don't see where a "Native American Posse" is defined. Oddly enough, I'm really not this much of a stickler for rules and very laid back, I'm just curious if I'm passing over some section.

[Easy E]

I do not think you are.  it is simply a posse themed to be Native American as opposed to lawmen, cowboys, rustlers, etc.

Dont know where else to ask this:
Whats the point of the Transfix Power for Broodkin?
At 6 inch range and Difficulty 2 I think 99.9% of the time it is better to shoot at my target rather than try to transfix it.
Down is always better than Done. and I have better odds to Down a target than to Transfix them.
Transfix is a 3 Dice Grit Test which needs two successes or does nothing and the target gets a 5+ Save on 1 die, no matter the number of additional successes.
On the other (red) hand: Shooting at 6inch or closer is a 3 (or more) Dice Grit test which produces a 6+ Save for the same 2 Successes, which can actually KILL the target. And it has the option to only roll one Success, which is enough to Down the target.

With their 6inch Move I would rather Charge the Target with the Broodkin than transfix them.

I understand that it is fluffy, but I dont understand the utility. Maybe against a Target in Cover and Boilerplate? Am I missing something?

[LeRatierBretonnien]

Yes, the "Transfix" spell is not really powerful. Personnaly, I raise its range to 24"", like a rifle.

[EvilGod]

I like this idea. Even going to 12 inch makes it a better option because the increased range compared to a pistol and the movement of the broodkin.

[Luisito]

Doc Henry Victor West  and Adam
the Doc has grit of D6 or D8?   Its not clear. 

thanks
