What are the limits of special tricks for unique items? I’m looking at a couple of things for firearms.
First was applying it to change the magazine size on a small machine gun to be a bit larger, since there is a huge gap between 40 and 200 round capacities. I was thinking 75 to 100.
Second was about converting an internal magazine weapon to a box magazine with a higher capacity. The thought is to reflect something like a DMR or semi auto Sniper rifle with 10-15 round magazine.
While I know the answer of whatever works for a home game I also was brainstorming for the living campaign and wanted something a little more official in case I want to use this in the living game.

ie. Full Auto – Spray.
Doesn’t matter if you have a 10 round magazine or 200 round drum, its empty in one action.Makes it worthless for the weapon that should be using it (machine guns).

There is exactly 1 situation where I would ever use it, large numbers of zombies that are part of a mobile in a single area and I can’t use something else like a grenade. The use of increased magazine capacity would be to use burst fire through a fight without having to reload.

I just took an assault rifle and its trick was to be chambered in a higher caliber than normal. So its like the character is running around with a Beowulf rifle. It fit into each of the niches as it reloaded quickly and could go single or burst fire with a heavier round.

In regards to the Living Campaign, I am still working on the guide, but I am aiming for a gritty campaign where Ammo is quite hard to find.
The rules I am working with is that
1. you get 5 rounds per game as a freebie (disappear at the end of the game if not used.)
2. It can be found in game and is listed on the Chronicle page
3. Can be purchased in lots of 20 for 1AP
4. Special attacks (ie sprays) can be done once per game as a theatrical move without expending ammoThe idea is to make it so that powers become more important as they are renewable resources.
But I am hoping to get the draft done early this week so I can send it to my editing team for 1st review and then to the payer base for comments.
