How much for "Gets spell acc bonus without aiming"?

[RogerBacon]

How much for an advantage that lets you get the acc bonus of a spell without aiming? It's like the gunslinger advantage bot only one part of it so it should be cheaper. Any ideas?

Unless you want a feature beyond getting your Acc on unaimed shots, just buy up your skill -- no spell has Acc above 3, and +3 Innate Attack is only [12] (Gunslinger, as written in Basic, is totally pointless; various other books have added extensions to it).

What if the character needs multiple Innate Attack skills?

No character needs multiple innate attack skills, because they default to one another at -2. Buy one of them up, and default the rest.

Okay, I sit corrected.

But there's still some justification in having a spell-equivalent of Gunslinger, as an alternative to 3 levels of skill, provided that it costs less than it would cost to buy 3 levels of skill.

How about 10 CP? That's nice and round, and a very modest discount indeed.

Quite modest indeed, considering that fully half of Magic's Missile spells are only Acc 1. 5 points might be too low, but is probably closer to the fair value.

It's sounding more and more like a non-issue.

Then again, my mental image when I see the Gunslinger advantage, costed at 25 CP, is that it should be a massive boost for characters who use pistols and resvolvers and other one-handed shortarms. Which it most definitley isn't.

(Granted, there are Line Editor-sanctioned Limitations as big as -60% to trim it down to something that makes sense for such characters.)

I would call this a Magic Perk per Innate Attack Skill, as long as perk limits for Magic Perks are in effect. It seems comparable enough to Psychic Guidance.
