Okis. I do not see things the same way, but I must said that your idea
sounds logical and good looking.
Perhaps the problem is how my players present the ideas: "I go to the
supermarket and buy a big box of bullets and a cheap gun to enchant"
sounds bad for me". If the same player said "that he took his old gun
and that he plans when enchanting it to fire it close range so it could
look coincidental when his gun do aggravated damage" it will sound a lot
better to me.
If my Akashiks players say to me that they want to enchant their fist to
do aggravated damage but no more than one point hitting from the side so
the damage look like a burn punch, it will be good for me. Well, I will
post that for them.
Thanks again
