Aiming
A character can improve his chance of hitting an opponent in ranged combat by using the Aiming combat option. When Aiming, the character
gives up his actions for the round he cannot move or take even Simple Actions while Aiming. In return, he gains a +2 bonus to his next
ranged Attack Test. If the character continues to aim for another consecutive round, the bonus increases to +3. Each round spent Aiming
causes the character 1 Strain. Regardless of how long he spends Aiming,a character can gain only a maximum +3 bonus.
A character cannot attack during the same round that he uses the Aiming combat option.the bonus is applied to his ranged Attack Test
during the following round. Additionally, the character must make his Attack Test against a target visible to him during the entire time he has
been Aiming in order to gain the bonus. this combat option cannot be used with talents that provide a
similar bonus, such as Mystic Aim, p. 76.

Take aim: this option uses both the character’s Standard and Move Action in a turn. The character makes a ranged attack test against the target’s base PD, ignoring penalties and bonuses such as Cover, Darkness, Blindside, etc, etc. no attack is loosed, however. Instead, for each success, reduce penalties to the next ranged attack the character makes against the target by 1. This only affects penalties that make the shot more difficult, such as cover, range, darkness, and called shots. It doesn’t affect conditions the character is suffering from, such as Wounded, Taunted, or Harried.

I like this idea of tagging it to the called shot option. Saying you can’t use your movement is reasonable. You should need to be still and draw a bead with the weapon, not just peer at the target. It could also require concentration like certain spells do. We don’t really want an “assassinate” combat option, I think, so balance is important.
The players will very soon call for a softer option when they have suffered an ambush by others using that rule.

i suppose i could imagine skill versions that were not as strong such that anyone could pick it up. or perhaps just make it a part of the various combat skills. something like mystic aim except +1 per success (you don't have the mystic targeting sight) and you'd need to beat physical defense instead of magic defense. maybe bump up the strain cost instead/in addition? honestly, i'm not sure how the balancing goes for skill versions of talents.

and maybe something similar with spot armour flaw, +1 damage per success, against physical defense, and possibly make it only 1 round (this would probably mean no need to increase strain cost, if that is a balance point).

alternately, you could make the strain cost of those skills 1 per attack. again, that could do well to represent putting in that extra effort.

Normal attack: I aim to GENERALLY hit the target without taking extra time = no modifiers
Called Shot: I aim to PRECISELY hit the target without taking extra time = -3 penalty to attack
Aimed Shot: I aim to GENERALLY hit the target WHILE taking an extra round = +3 bonus to attack.

The 'Aimed Shot' would just be a 'reverse Called Shot' with, therefore, no 'multiple rounds stacking' nor penalties for moving.

I can't think of anything else that can give a bonus of +6. I would cap the amount of bonus available at +3, which is the amount of bonus melee fighters get for an aggressive attack. You might give +1 bonus for aiming up to three times. Or maybe a +2 for one round of aiming, and an additional +1 for a 2nd round of aiming. Another option is to allow two rounds of aiming to overcome the penalty for making a called shot, making the called shot "free" (no -3 penalty and no strain). I would suggest not allowing these options to be combined such that 4 rounds of aiming gives you a called shot at plus 3 instead of minus 3, as once again, a +9 bonus (surprise lowering TN, +3 to hit, no penalty for called shot) is way, way to overpowering.

Another concern is with the no movement bit. A common way ambushes are done is to have all the ambushers in 100% cover. When the ambush is sprung they move from full cover to partial cover and attack. The way you have your combat option worded, standing up from their hunch would spoil their aim anyway. Then you have the headache of them wanting to hide with their bows in usable position. I can see where you are saying "realistically they would gain an advantage from aiming", but you are not really solving a realism problem, you are just moving the goal posts and making other things less realistic.

All that being said, I don't see any reason why a moderate bonus for aiming, if applied to both PCs and NPCs might not be a net plus to the game.

I'm considering a session where I could easily see a player taking a moment to line up his shot. How should I adjudicate this?

Anyone have house rules to help with this sort of thing? I would consider it stacking on top of the surprise bonus (-3 defense) and also be a valid action in the middle of combat.

My initial thought is something like a +2 on the attack roll but no other action allowed and no movement once the aiming has started. Maximum +6. Would this be something a ranged attacker even ever use? Spend your action and lose a turn for a measly +2?

Thoughts? Criticisms? Glowing praise and fawning adoration?
