I have a couple questions.

[Vethik]

Under vesk's natural weapons it mentions your unarmed strikes and then mentions that vesk get a unique specialization with their natural weapons. Is this solely referring to their unarmed attacks or if i pick up a venom spur, is that a natural weapon as well? For the purposes of getting weapon focus, what would the venom spur even count as?

When using the injection glove, needler pistol/ rifle you deal a D4 and your specialization bonus if any. So if you try to use the needler to heal a party member at a range do you have to deal that extra damage?

Lastly as just a minor gripe at this point. Why are unarmed strikes not considered operative weapons? Unarmed seems no less precise than say hitting someone with a baton and more precise than using the flame pistol which is an operative weapon. There isn't even an option to get some use out of unarmed and operative tricks like with the sniper rifle.

1) Natural means you are born with it. Venom Spur is biotech and you aren't naturally born with it.

2) deal extra damage to heal? Are you asking if the specialization gives you a bonus to heal?

3) That's a debate you need to have with your DM. Hitting someone is not more precise then shooting someone.

2: An injection glove/needler pistol does damage, baseline. If you stick a serum in it, it still does that damage; that isn't negated just because you get healed afterwards.

3: Not when the thing you're shooting someone with is a line of ignited petrol, it isn't.

Not really here to debate. I KNOW it's easier to shoot someone with a Flame Weapon then it is to hit someone with a fist. There is a reason why it says unwieldy next to the weapon though. I personally would make a rule that any weapon that says unwieldy next to it would be an item you couldn't use trick attack with.

"Easier to hit with" does not mean "more precise." The whole point of Operative weapons is that you're going for weak spots (jabbing eyes, slashing throats), not just flailing away in an effort to make contact. A doshko hits you in the shoulder and that's good enough, because it's like getting hit with a splitting maul; a baton doesn't have that luxury.

If you're not going to bother understanding the question, stop being so arrogant with your answers. It's no way to behave.

Talk about "arrogant", have you ever thrown a punch? Throwing them requires you to get even closer than a knife or baton.

What does that have to do with anything? We're literally comparing a punch to a LINE WEAPON, and you're saying the line weapon is more precise. Getting close has nothing to do with whether you use strength or dexterity.
