Fallout: Equestria Resource

The system, generally speaking, heavily favors the idea of "golf bagging" your weapons around. I myself find that at this time my main character is currently carrying:

2x rifles

1x Shotgun

2x swords

and 1x goddamn chain saw

along with a small pile of explosives, mostly grenades, and a Bale Fire Egg.

This leads me to ask, do other people do this? Or am i weirdly kelpto in my approach to packing weapons? My combined whight for weapons and armor [i wear medium armor!] is around 70Lb's.

I'd like to hear some feed back from others playing Fallout Equestria, as well as players of Fallout 3 and New vegas, to find out how many goddamn guns others we carry into a fight.

Let's see, Night Light has: Battle-Saddles with Linked Magical Energy Rifles, Battle-Saddles with Linked Tranquilizer Rifles, and will very shortly have Battle-Saddles with Linked Missile Launchers. Net weight is 67 pounds between the three of them, putting him at 107 pounds carried between weapons and armor. Given I rarely have to use anything other than my spell, I'd say you're probably fine there, heh.

While I'm here, might as well note Muddy. Mud Pie has: Battle-Saddles with Linked Grenade Launchers and will very shortly have Battle-Saddles with Linked Grenade Machine Guns. She also has a a silly amount of grenades and mines. Net weight is 55 pounds for her weaponry, total of 90 between weapons and armor.

This is why i want to limit how much players can carry buy taking off AP with higher Weight, it does get silly at some point... i also entertained the idea of a box you had to fit items in with the weight system.... was going to test it in an experimental game.

None of my characters have more than one weapon per skill they're proficient in, which tends to be 2 skills. In FO3/NV, the biggest reason to carry multiple weapons is ammo concerns, and I tend to not have that in the PNP.

Just done a little mock up of the idea i have had for a while, might change it if it becomes TOO restrictive.

Tell me what you think.

My one PNP character that uses guns, Silvermane, carries his trademark rifle, a pistol, a shotgun, and a PAR-T Cannon.

My FNV character, which is based on Silvermane, carries a full quick-swap wheel (8 slots) worth of guns (Li'l Macintosh, .223 Pistol, Medicine Stick, Dinner Bell, Mercenary's Grenade Launcher, Nail Gun, and the Fat Man) plus a few others.

I usually don't get far enough with my groups, that I carry more than two or three weapons at most.
The most weapons has Mayhem, with one APGL, a knife spear and a magical energy lance.

But then again, it's not different as you would do it in Fallout 3 or New Vegas anyways, right? As long as you don't play Wanderer's Edition, that is...

Viewing Glass
Doesn't really get the chance to shoot things much. Looking at a Zebra Rifle, a Railway Rifle, a Hunting Shotgun and a Hunting Rifle. One gun for each range, really.

Shadow Step
Melee Primary, just starting into MEW weaponry. Has a machete (for cooking, primarily), a Sledgehammer, a Pick-Axe, and a Recharger Pistol. The Pick-Axe is a custom weapon invented by Dimestream. It is a Warclub that does an additional 1d10 of damage, and has the special attack: Gold Rush. For an additional 5 AP (total, 30 AP attack) the attack is considered to have Armor Piercing Light.

Firefly
No ranged weapons, but she is a pegasus, so why does she need ranged weapons when you are that fast? She currently only has brass shoes, but is about to have a pair of boxing socks (Mad_Modd's list) and some wingblades. She is also known for bucking lightning out of clouds.

Strange Brew
Explosives, Firearms, and Melee Zony. She has an Anti-Pony Grenade Rifle, a few frag mines, THE JUDGE (a .45 auto revolver that can fire either shotgun shells (damage as per the caravan shotgun + 1d10) or .45 ammunition (damage as per the .45 pistol +1d10)) and an Enchanted Bush Gun. The Bush Gun may be cursed...don't know yet. She also has a nasty little Hatchet.
