House Rules

Dual-Wielding
Characters wielding two weapons at once get a bonus to one of Accuracy, Damage, Defence or Rate to one weapon, called the primary, equal to 50% (rounded down) of the same attribute of her other weapon, the secondary. If the character wishes to switch primary & secondary weapons and/or alter which weapon statistic gets the bonus, she can do this with a non-rolled dice action. (If the character makes a Wits + governing combat Ability check and achieves at least 3 successes then this change can be performed reflexively - multiple attempts at this in a single turn increase the difficulty of the test cumulatively by 1).
Ranged Attack Initiative
Ranged weapons are considered to have a Speed equal to the rating of the governing Ability of the character wielding them, i.e.: a character with Archery •••• using his bow has a Speed of +4 with it.
Sweeping Attacks
When fighting against large groups of Extras, instead of treating every three dice of post-soak damage as one health level of damage, roll damage caused as if fighting a single opponent with the same soak as the Extra. Every three successes on this roll kill one extra. Sweeping attacks should be performed as part of a Stunt, and have an effective Rate of 1.
