"On a slight note, if you use the harshly realistic rules from The Deadly Spring, Warrior A (even with Heroic Archer) is only sightly faster than Warrior B bedecked in as many cinematic speeding-upping options as can be found, and does less damage per shot."

Sorry, it struck me as an amusing comparison. Yes, if one side gets a mix of harsh realism and cinematism, and the other side gets just cool cinematic stuff, it tends to come out in favour of the cool cinematic stuff ;)

Actually, I was thinking of comparing the cinematic Heroic Archer with the cinematic Rapid Reload 4. Assuming everyone makes their rolls, if no one is aiming, the Heric Archer can fire 3 times in 3 seconds, and the Musketeer once. If each takes a 1 second aim maneuver, the Heroic archer twice in 4 seconds and the musketeer once. Favors the Musketeer on single target, or high DR targets. Heroic Archer wins out on large numbers or soft targets.

Edit: Both of them are using realistic weapons, the guns from Musketeer seem to jive with the muskets from High Tech.
