Hi Timothy,

Your Captain's use of multiple fire arms inflicting friendly fire damage reminds of the David Weber/John Ringo series about Prince Roger Ramius Sergei Alexander Chiang MacClintock's  use of a grenade launcher to break-up an attack. The slight difference was that his attack took out the enemy too. I think most of his Marine body was on one hand ticked off by the attack and on the other glad of his intervention.

Hello, long time no chat!

I was playing with traveller and animal attacks. Some animals have, for example claws and teeth. How do you handle that?


I can't recall a rule but would do one of three things:
- go with what sounds must fun at the time
- roll 50/50 for one or the other
- let them attack with both if I thought the PCs were having too easy a time of it or I wanted to make some story point about just how nasty they were for some Reason.
 
 
OR what if a player has two knives, one in each hand? Are there rules for this? I could not find them.


I think I might have seen a rule for this but in Mongoose Traveller.  I'd have to look it up though.  I think I used it when our glorious Captain of the March Harrier tried using an SMG in each hand.  Given he had no skill at all and was already operating at a -3 DM, it generally resulted in his crew taking way more hits than any enemy.  But their cries of OMG can still be heard ringing in Portsmouth pubs.
