- Because the TW weapons are generating spells, there is no recoil from firing them.
..
Note that this does not change the fact that a proficient user is only +1 to strike with a burst, but unskilled users will make a straight die roll instead of the usual penalty of -6.
Does anyone think this was.intended to apply retroactively to all TW weapons capable if bursting (for example a JA-9 converted to TW energy) or just the new ones?
If it was all, that could help explain their survival at such high costs, burst accuracy (well, lack of inaccuracy) for those without WP, which could be many mages.
The clarification that bursts hit at +1 even with 0 recoil to throw off aim gives me a new perspective on boom guns too.
Apparently creating energy attacks from e clips in the classic fashion still qualifies as recoil though, even with lasers.
