Mike Wallace Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I've got a Sawbones character (Under Quarantine, pg. 118) who just got the Surgical Instruments talent. Can he give his Doctor's Skill Kit weapon mods? Maybe a brutal scalpel? Sew a grapeshot gun into the material? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnternalVoid Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Personally I would say no as it is not a weapon, it is a Skill Kit that grants access to certain attacks, but it is up to your Fatemaster to decide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the Fatemaster. /manic laughter I feel that I should agree, because the Doctor's Kit itself isn't used for the attack, it's just necessary to have one to use the attacks given by the Sawbones. But imagine a doctor walking in with a nickle-plated leather bag, with a gigantic syringe and then blasts a guy with the bag's sewn-in shotgun like he's El Mariachi with his guitar case. He'd be the John Wick of house calls. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Sawbones gets to use that attack without: a). Paying 1 AP to ready the weapon; b). Arousing suspicion, as he's just carrying a simple and inconspicuous Drs bag 😉 Still - that shotgun bag could also be inconspicuous.

What about em?” ”Rumor has it that he got some steamfitters to affix weird industrial stuff to his bag, heard the thing’s a functional shotgun. They call him The Doctor, not a very clever name, I know.” ”Howabout, The Shotgun Surgeon?” ”Whatever the case, do not let him point that bag at you, got it!?” 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamtastic Vagabond Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 So, I think by now a new ruling is in order just so that Shotgun Surgeon is possible 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
