Re: The Lounge III
In reply to Girl Interrupted (msg # 295):
Targetted attack are easy enough. Technique is Hard, so you pay 2 points for the first point of penalty reduction, and one point thereafter, up to a maximum of half the original penalty, rounded up.
So for example, Targeted attack, Eye, thrusting attack with knife. (Hot location, attack mode and weapon skill are all needed).
Normal penalty for Hit Location (eye) is -9, half of which is -4.5, which rounds up to -5. So you can buy off a maximum of -5, reducing the penalty with the specified weapon attacking the specified hit location (eye in this case) by 5 to -4 instead of -9.
This will cost 2 points for a 1 reduction in the penalty. For the full 5 point reduction in the penalty allowed, it would cost an additional 4 points, for a total of 6 points. Hope that makes sense.
