It's doable as techniques, but then you need a Techniques section and a character sheet that fits it close to the weapon tables and defense tables.<br /><br />I find that is more work than just doing it by hand after I print a sheet for the few locations people actually aim at.<br /><br />A friend of mine uses a ranged combat excel spreadsheet so people can just plug in their skills, the numbers he gives them, and then everything is figured out for them. But his group is laptop-happy generally, so it's not something I adopted for my "put everything away" approach to gaming.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-53842649255107003242013-03-16T03:29:18.472-04:002013-03-16T03:29:18.472-04:00GCA actualy supports that ..
