Gun Kata - Love Thumper

[Amanojyaku]

Developed by a clan of Squats with too much to drink and not enough of the opposite sex to belay their bawdy jokes, the Love Thumper is a gunslinging style that is almost, but not quite, the exact opposite of subtle. Trigger discipline is not nearly so important as long, uncontrolled streams of hot lead, and the sweet roar of guns firing on automatic is never quite enough to drown out the vaguely sexist shouting, holovid one-liners, and vituperations against some berk named Froyd. Still, it can be scarily effective to use a different gun in each hand with any measure of proficiency.

The key skill for Love Thumper is Intimidation, and its special action type is Full Auto Burst... the only thing better than constantly filling the air with lead is filling body cavities with it instead.

Level 1: Apprentice

-Action (Full Auto Burst): Use Full Auto Burst actions with trick shots.

(1)Messy Shooter: This trick shot gains the Scatter property.

Level 2: Initiate

(-2)Time to Compensate: This attack can only be used while In the Zone.

Level 3: Journeyman

(-1)Skill (Intimidation): As part of this attack, make an Intimidation test against the static defense of the target. If it fails, the attack fails.

Level 4: Master

(2)Money Shot: If this trick shot uses the last shot in your clip, double the base damage dealt by the weapon. If applied to a Full Auto Burst, add +2k1 damage instead.

-Tuck It In: You do not take a penalty for firing a Basic weapon one-handed.

Level 5: Grandmaster

(4)BLOWJOBS: The dice from this trick shot's damage explode on 9s and 10s.
