Point Defense Weapons

[Ellros]

Got a hold of a T4 Emperor's Arsenal book from a friend to look through, and I noticed all the different point defense lasers and VRF gauss, especially those mounted on the different battle dress suits. Seeing as how I do not have the T4 rules, can anyone tell me how those work rule-wise? Or share ideas for any home rules for point defense you may use? And not just for BD, but also vehicle/starship point defense besides sandcasters. Thanks.

In the T20 rules: It not hard. Missiles are a viable target, but generally -4 or -8 due to size. You'll want the VRF set on wide area (+10 to hit). Generally the base damage will destroy the incoming missle.

The Starship advanced rules have a discussion of using ship lasers, so if you want exact cruchy rules, you can adapt those for rules for the vehicles.
