 |
|
Hi Clint. Sorry, I'm in hurry, so I can't do some search for this one. It's a quite simple question, however...
According the core rules, can I make a wild attack, while I'm executing my free Fighting attack from the First Strike? Or a Sweep attack?
Is this "First Strike fighting attack" generic, or can I aim to a specific body location, or use a disarm attack?
Finally, this question is not so useful right now, but I'll need soon, surely... May I shoot with a small gun, like a pistol, with the First Strike, of course using enemy's Parry as target number? It's not properly a "Fighting" attack... (but in the Improved First Strike there is no mention to "Fighting", just "Attack": is this a typo, or you want this differentiation?)

First Strike only allows for a single attack; Edges like Sweep and Frenzy do not apply. Combat manuevers (such as a Called Shot or Disarm) could be used, but in general, I would recommend against the use of a Wild Attack as it has a round to round effect (lowered Parry). A GM might allow the bonus from Wild Attack if the character was still under the Parry restriction from using it on his previous action.

First Strike only applies to a "Fighting" attack, and Improved First Strike as well since it begins with "As above..." in reference to following all the rules of First Strike barring the exceptions specifically listed.
