• Mechanics Thread I  + (Can the Free Action 'Call A Shot' be combi … Can the Free Action 'Call A Shot' be combined with the Simple Action 'Take Aim'?</br></br>Consider the following:</br></br> </br></br>---</br></br> </br></br>###Take Aim</br>A character may take aim with a ready firearm, bow, or throwing weapon as a Simple Action. Take Aim actions are cumulative, but **the benefits are lost if the character takes any other kind of action—including a Free Action—at any time before attacking.** Take Aim actions may be extended over multiple Action Phases and Combat Turns. The maximum bonus a character may gain from sequential Take Aim actions, either to her limit or her dice pool, is equal to one-half the character’s Willpower, rounded up. Each Take Aim action applies a +1 dice pool modifier or +1 Accuracy increase to the Attack Test. If the character is using image magnification or a targeting scope, Take Aim must be used to line up the shot in order to receive the bonus from the item. In this case the first action of Take Aim does not provide any additional bonus beyond enabling the function of the modification.</br></br> </br></br>###Call a Shot</br>A character may call a shot (aim for a vulnerable portion of a target) with this Free Action; see Called Shots, p. 178. **This action must be combined with** a Fire Weapon, Throw Weapon, or Melee Attack Action.</br></br> </br></br>---</br></br> </br></br>Emphasis is mine.</br></br>The wording of those two abilities would imply they cannot be used together. If you Take Aim before you Call A Shot, then you lose the benefits of Take Aim when you use the Free Action Call A Shot. Similarly, you cannot Call A Shot before you Take Aim, as Call A Shot must be combined with an attack action.ot must be combined with an attack action.)

There is a bit of confusion on the matter currently, as far as I can tell there are two schools of thought on the manner : 1. That counterspelling adds to the soak roll vs aoe indirect spells. 2. That counterspelling adds a defense test that previously did not exist and if successful in reducing the spellcasting hits to less than 3 will make the aoe scatter.
