 This is the current damage track I am using. If anyone has any questions on it, let me know. |

May want to update the bottom bit to add dex shifts for firearms etc. do thrown missiles gain benefit from str or dex or player choice? Same question for bows.

While it is tempting to try to figure out all kinds of shit and different weapons can do different things, I think it might be best to err on the side of simplicity. Missile weapons more damage with DEX. Melee weapons more damage with STR. Easy.  |

That's on the post right before your post before this one - next to 'full auto'.
Note: a) PC's rarely get full surprise. Note that whoever is moving probably won't get full surprise. If you find somewhere to wait for bad guy that they will walk by, chances are much much better of making the stealth roll. b) Logan may forget damage bonus. Please remind him by saying "Logan - did I get FULL surprise on him?"

May I just ask – is a "heavy pistol" considered a heavy weapon or a pistol when it comes to what skill you're using? Also, because I can't find it mentioned in the rules topic (something to add perhaps?), how do you apply Martial Arts if you haven't reached 80/110 yet?

Heavy pistol refers to the caliber - generally in my mind above .40 (45's, 50's, etc).
Martial arts is one bump. 80 is another bump. 110 is another bump.
Hence, normal fist does d3. MA on normal person raises to d4. If that person has a 110 STR, they are up to d8 (bump for 80, bump for 110).
In other words, those are each things that can raise strength. Being that I am not great at making easy to read tables, I can see how that is confusing.

I’d been looking at the damage track at the top of the post and not noticed it. |

Any thoughts on where heavy weapons fit? (Heavy machine gun, flame thrower, rocket launcher, etc?)

If someone were to use say a heavy machine gun against an individual I'd probably put it as 'super heavy rifle which is on full auto all the time' (belt fed) so d8+d10.
For a flame thrower, I'd wing it. Chance of the PC's getting and actually wanting to use one are low.
For a rocket launcher (used the right way - yeah, some of you know who I'm talking to) probably 2d12 or so. That's enough to on average (with some possibility of survival) kill the average dude. To vehicles they do more - but I don't normally do vehicle HP and all of that - just guestimate with things like that.
Generally, if you can hit something with a rocket launcher that is hard enough to actually make the shell go off (humans sometimes are not) then whatever is nearby vehicle wise is probably not happy.

True, but you can shoot multiple people at once if they are lined up.

For a heavy MG, I'd let them shoot up to three targets but without the damage reduction to show the raw power of the heavy MG is what I'm trying to say.
