Natural Apptitude for Bombing
« on: 16 December 2014, 14:46:55 »
Can an NPC have a natural apptitude for bombing where they are more accurate at boming such as high altitude bombing? Or is the natural apptitude restricted to only skills and abilities listed in ATOW?

Well, there doesn't seem to be a specific skill for bombing (unless I'm completely missing it), so I'd think it would simply be a Natural Aptitude for Gunnery/Aerospace rather than bombing specifically.

Of course, if you wanted the character to be better at bombing specifically, then you could give the character a Specialty of Bombing for his Gunnery/Aerospace skill. That would give the character an additional +1 when bombing, at the cost of having a -1 for all other Gunnery/Aerospace skill checks.

Presumably you could even apply both of them. Give yourself a Natural Aptitude for Gunnery/Aerospace, and a specialization in Bombing, then you'd be rolling 3d6 and have an additional +1 for bombing :)

Of course, if its a NPC and you're the GM, you can pretty much do whatever you want...
