Project NEMESIS

The automatic rifleman (nee “machine gunner”) is a vital part of any modern fighting force. Their ability to put a tremendous volume of fire downrange gives mobility and survivability to their teammates. 

I never liked the "Spray weapons use a number of rounds equal to the dice in your pool" rule. It makes a more skillful shooter use more ammo. I also generally think Spray ratings make automatic weapons far more overpowered than I would like. I'm not arguing that they are or aren't in real life, but I feel the ability to use all sets for free is a powerful bonus on its own mechanically. 

The difference between a warrior and a soldier, is that a soldier stands with his fellow soldier's as part of a force greater than himself. This path allows a person to work with 1 to 3 similarly trained allies to create an unstoppable energy. These techniques all require at least one ally who also knows them, and they are linked to the Tactics skill. All techniques stack. 

“One shot, one kill.” This Martial Path is dedicated to helping sharpshooters reach out and touch someone. It is used with Coordination + Weapon (rifle). All of the techniques below are only applicable after aiming for at least one turn. 

This path is designed for a person wielding either a pump-action or combat (self-loading) shotgun. With GM permission, some techniques could be used with a breach-action. 

Without too much fanfare, a bump and a post of a John Woo-styled Martial Path. 

Here's my Close Quarters Battle Path for your perusal. Suggestions welcome!
