Notes
Questions asked during the game:
Q. What is the Availability limit for gear at Chargen?
A. 7
Q. Can Bowflex kill someone with one arrow?
A. Maybe. Bows have an Attack Rating of up to [RATING] of the bow depending on distance. This is used just to determine the Edge awarding. Their Attack Pool is still [Weapon Skill + Agility] as the rules are written today, not STR. This is a smaller dice pool than a STR based pool would be for a Troll. We can talk about houseruling STR for bows, but I want to see the math for this first.
Bow's Damage Value is actually [RATING/2] flat. So Damage is always a flat 7 for a Rating 14 bow (max rating you can purchase at CharGen) when they hit. Add to that Net Hits from the Attack Pool. You MIGHT be able to kill someone with one arrow. But they would first be able to reduce net hits with edge, then be able to soak with Body any remaining damage.
Still very deadly, especially with Wired Reflex (4) that gives you 5 minor actions, because 4 minor actions can be swapped for 1 major action for a second attack, with a minor action left to knock the arrow.
There is an issue with this, though. Bowflex cannot knock 2 arrows in one round and attack twice. That would require 1 major action and 6 minor actions (4 for the second attack, 1 minor for the first arrow, 1 minor for the second arrow). The max is 5 minor actions per round. So Bowflex can really only do two arrow attacks every other round.
