In Old Westerns and even in star wars, the first shot was key... They draw the pistol from the holster as fast as they can... And bam! Someone dies...



Well heres a skill like that, call it Draw Shot, can only be used on start of combat, it's more powerful then stopping shot and takes a heavy action cost, however its very innacurate, you have a 25 percent chance of hitting a random pool *probably health because we have no other pool shots*



Whatcha think?

If it's wildly inaccurate, that ruins the whole "draw gun and bam! someone dies" aspect. I like the idea of specials that can only be used at certain times, but since I can already kill someone in 3-5 seconds, I wouldn't want to waste my first shot on something inaccurate. Let it have a normal accuracy and I'm all for it. If someone initiates combat with you, you lose the chance to use the skill - it would have to be usable only if you're not already in combat.

And it needs a twirly pistol animation with it, of course. *grin*

Not a great one sorry man. I mean high action costs, 25% accuracy rating, more powerful than stopping shot (there's a 75% reduction in pvp anyway), would only have pvp value, and as far as i can tell the first shot doesn't account for delay of weapon or anything. Its whoever presses their hot button first.
