Not quite correct: quote/ 'the GM ought to forbid Ninja Talent or Weapon Talent (but see Weapon Master, p 99).'/quote. Not the same at all. Advised not to, is not the same as don't apply. I'm a knife thrower. [I aggrandise; I can throw knives a bit] I have played with spears and axes with friends - as gigantic darts. The best person I've ever met with all of them never tried, he simply has a knack. He's just a good pitcher - a great cricket fielder. I am looking to see if I am alone in this experience. [Equally, I disbelieve that the natural shots I've met are gunslingers.] > I might well allow Weapon Master (Thrown Weapons) at 30 points, or even > a bonus to DX (only for throwing skills, -(some)%). But I think simply > putting the points in the skills would be better. I would maintain that it's a legitimate talent, and to insist on calling it Weapon Master is short sighted. Power is not part of it, Neither is special skills, its just accuracy.
