Also, if you are going to be a hunter and use longarms, just take away automatics and put those points into longarms. I like the shotgun/sniper combo.

This would be a good idea. What you have in Automatics (if you're using BP rather than Karma), would allow you to have the same skill level with Pistols and Longarms both--just enough to manage that.

Aww! But I want to use both of them!

I'm saying use what you have in Automatics to be equally good at both of them.

Sorry, I'll rephrase that. Lemme try again... Ahem...

Aww! But I wanted to use both longarms and automatics!

Meh, I'm always willing to tell people to drop Automatics. After so many people listening to the "number cruncher math problem character people" here, Automatics is just way overused.

Wow, I rarely agree withAll4BigGuns but here is a case I do. I am a math person and love optimization but your character, a hunter, would be a great shot with a rifle. Automatics is WAY overused. You can greatly fill the fire support role being awesome with sniper rifles,but not as good if you are "meh" at both Automatics and Longarms.

And even from a party (rather than character) optimization standpoint, while most of the time an SMG or AR is a better choice than a Shotgun, if everybody else in your party is toting an Ingram, you can have the Shotty when it's needed.

All right you guys, I've decided to remove a skill point from Automatics and put it in Longarms. I'll get another point for Automatics later with Karma, anyways. A 10 die pool isn't something to sneeze at.
