MIU Weapon Interface, one weapon on each shoulder

[Tegman 12]

As the title, any ideas how this would work?

It will not be long before one of my players come up with this one and I would like to be ready for when it does.

 

I'm thinking of letting the character shoot both weapons on the same target, rolling once and using that roll as a basis, checking each weapon separately when it comes to modifiers etc (if they're not of the same type).

 

What do you guys think?

 

Sincerely, Tegman

You can't make more than one attack action per turn, regardless of if they are free actions or not, so they wouldn't be able to fire both without the two weapon wielding talents.

Hmmh .. perhaps you could just use the mechanics for Two-Weapon Fighting (p228) for this? It'd make sense that "dual-wielding your shoulders" would be similarly limited, because the character's brain will still only be able to process so much information, and shooting two weapons requires more attention than one.

 

Just replace the Ambidextrous talent with Bulging Biceps, reflecting the character's greater bulk stabilising the guns on their shoulders even when firing nigh-simultaneously.

Aye, I will make it a requirement to have Two Weapon Wielder talent, if anyone wants to use two shoulder guns. Thanks for the input

Smack twin-linked on 'em and be done. Thematically still awesome, but a simple solution, mechanically.

Aye, that will work too, if they use two of the same weapon

Would be my solution as well. Course waiting for the weapons to be plasma pistols and they jam...
