Fast-draw (arrow) ....without the roll every turn?

[Enlightened]

I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious here, but how many CP of what does a character need to buy to get the effect of Fast-Draw without having to roll for it?

Thanks in advance.

In my campaign, Fast-Draw (Arrow) at skill 16+, the Perk Rules Excemption (No-Nuisance Rolls allowed in combat with Fast-Draw (Arrow)) and finally the Perk No-Nuisance Rolls (Fast-Draw (Arrow)).

For someone with DX 12 and Combat Reflexes (or just DX 13), that's a total of 10 points. Cheaper if you have higher DX and more expensive if you have lower DX.

Where in the book can I find the No-Nuisance Roll thingy? I remember seeing it before somewhere.

GURPS Power-Ups 2: Perks p. 16.

For $5.99 and in two to three minutes, it could be in your virtual hands.

It is in a pyamrid article I believe. power ups 2?

Cool.

Is the Perk Rules Excemption (No-Nuisance Rolls allowed in combat with Fast-Draw (Arrow)) thingy your own idea or is that in there somewhere too?

Rules Excemption is in that book and given that No-Nuisance Rolls is by default not meant to work for combat skill rolls, I felt that it might be fair to charge a small additional surcharge for allowing an excemption from that.

Thanks a bunch.

I'm reading the PDF now.

I have a Zen Buddhist archer character in my current weird horror campaign. I decided to use the Instant Shot technique from PK's website. It works perfect, you can find it here and I've reposted it here:

Prerequisite: Bow-16+ and Fast-Draw (Arrow)-16+.

You draw, nock, and fire an arrow all in one smooth motion as a single attack (one maneuver instead of three). This replaces the three rolls normally required for quick-shooting bows (GURPS Martial Arts, p. 119).

(This technique buys off the normal Bow penalty, plus another -1 for "Only one Bow roll required instead of two" and -1 for "No Fast-Draw roll required." The minimum skills make this fair; in effect, you're simply avoiding nuisance rolls.)

One of the key points is a skill of 16+, so that the only failure would occur on a 17/18. (~1.38%). If you have Fast-Draw Arrow 10, then you don't get to take "No Nuisance Rolls" on it, because for you, the roll isn't a mere nuisance, but highly likely to fail.
