Fantasy Craft Second Printing Q&A Thread

The Favored Gear feat states "choose one specific piece of gear" - does this mean Favored Gear (pistol, military) or Favored Gear ("Old Kicker") i.e. one named individual piece of equipment and not all those of a type; and thus not be able to use it for all of those type you carry.  I suspect the Old Kicker route, but I want to be sure.

Also, the Load quality (say Load 7) states it take that many listed rounds of Handle Item actions to reload. If combined with the Quick Draw feat, could you in theory reload the previous example in one and a half rounds (Round One: Two free Handle Item actions from Quick Draw, then two more from your regular half actions makes 4; Round Two: Your two free actions, then one half makes another three, for a total of 7). Is this correct?

I've always interpreted this as the Old Kicker route.

Yes.  You can also get it down even further (almost to firing 1/round) with a Bandolier (gear item; reduces the load quality of black powder weapons by 2).

It's total actions, not rounds. But yeah, the math is correct. There are ways to get it down, but without them, that's how it works.

Which sword type on the weapons list do you think most accurately reflects a scimitar?  A friend suggested the katana but in the game i'm planning I'm houseruling that the katana must be wielded two-handed unless you have the Edge Forte.

Richard Burton, in the Book of the Sword, uses scimitar and sabre interchangeably.

Can NPCs gain bonus action dice from feats or class abilities?

Anyone want to tackle this one?

[Catodon]

So my take on RAW is that you could take say. special construction(tool hand), floater, and wheeled at 1st level so long as you are willing to take multiple penalites to attributes.

However, I'm uneasy about the fairness of stacking feats like this.

Thoughts?

[Krensky]

It'l be fine. The PC is down a pile of attribute points, and has given you a multitude of ways to screw with them.

Stairs come to mind.

[Catodon]

that's what Floater is for

Do you honestly think I couldn't find a way to use that combo against you? Hmmm?  I'm hurt.

Have a plot-dependent puzzle consist of a game of twister.

[paddyfool]

Wheeled and floater... this is the first thing that comes to mind, for some reason.

[pawsplay]

That's not the first thing that pops into my mind when I hear Floater. Ever.

...special construction(tool hand), floater, and wheeled...

This is the first thing that comes to my mind.
