I'm probably saying NO to the bracing one handed. Looking at the Autofire entry on pg 156 in mentions "Only heavy weapons, rifles, and pistols with an extended stock (see page
125) can be braced." While not specific it's telling me you need/want two hands on it. I might just point out that somewhere it also mentions that with a rifle (and presumably the pistol with an extended stock) you will take a -5 attack penalty when using it even if it is sized small enough that you nominally could use it with one hand.
Nothing that directly stops you from duel wielding the two MA10s (excuse me, subrepeating blaster pistols) but you certainly wouldn't be bracing them and the penalties may stack up quickly making it harder to just hit REF 10 to maybe deal half damage.
I'm not seeing anything that would allow you to add a Stun option to a blaster that doesn't already have it. While I may not allow it as I sense some kind of cheese coming with it if I consider that you could strip out the Stun Setting for an UP it might make some sense that one could fill an UP to add it although I really want to know where you're trying to add it.
When it comes to miniaturization it doesn't appear to do much to a blaster but I will say that I take some issue with it at times. Should it also require a miniaturized power source? If any kind of explosive charge is involved, I'll usually reduced damage from those if/when miniaturized. There are also a few weapons where I may be fine seeing the upgrade cutting the weight in half but some of the time that would still leave something a bigger size; if you look at many of the heavy weapons in the SECR and cut their weight in half they would still be in the "large weapon" category looking at pg 38 of S&V. Cutting the weight of a heavy repeating blaster or blaster cannon to make them easier to carry is one thing but doing that and thinking that they should now just be "medium size" weapons that can be wielded with one hand is a step too far in my eyes.
It's nice to know your player is willing to work with you and not against you.
The players response was that he was high at the time.
Why are you playing in this game.
What I've used for years is this:
• Maximum base atk is +10
• Maximum heroic level Defense bonus is +10
• Maximum heroic level damage bonus is +5
• Maximum level bonus to skill modifer is +5
• Anything that requires BAB higher than +10 instead requires BAB +10 and a minimum level equal to the original BAB requirement
Note that I don't change anything about how fast your bonuses go up, it's just that at mid-level, your level-based bonuses no longer go up (though you still gain new feats and talents normally, which can raise your overall bonus).
For DCs, I use 10/15/20/25/30, mostly the middle three. It's easy. Difficulty doesn't go up just because your skill bonus goes up. The difficulty is what it is. If you're a 1st level character, you'll struggle with more difficult challenges, as it should be. If you're higher level, the same challenge will be easier, occasionally automatic, as it should be.
