Accessories

AmBatt: An Ammunition Battery (or AmBatt for short) is a specialized Od Battery containing 20 “bullets” or Od charged canisters. The AmBatt requires only 1 Od charge to fill all 20 bullets. 

• Each time a bullet is fired, there is a 1-in-6 chance of the canister being recoverable.  

 Dirk: A Bayonet style attachment that usually lacks a handle. The Blades of Dirks vary in size and shape but are usually at least 12” long.   

• Only Jezzail weapons can have a dirk attached, giving it the CQC trait. 

Od Battery: A large cumbersome and heavy metal box with a valve for receiving and delivering Od charges. Can hold up to 15 charges and can be used for Bombards.   

Pavise: A large shield requiring two hands to wield. However it can be staked into the ground to provide cover for marksmen, granting +4 to their AC for as long as they are behind the Pavise.  

• A character cannot move the Pavise and Fire in the same turn. 

Weapon Traits

CQC: May be used as a two handed melee (5’ or less) weapon.  

Loud: The first time in an encounter a weapon with this quality is fired, the noise triggers a wandering monster check and causes animals (except those trained for battle) to make a morale check or flee. At the referee’s discretion, human-like creatures of 2 HD or less from cultures without firearms may also be affected. 

Missile: Fired weapon (greater than 5’ distance). The distances for short (+1 to hit), medium, and long (–1 to hit) range are shown in parentheses.

Point blank: May be fired at an opponent in melee range (5’ or less). +1 to hit. 

Reload: Requires a round to reload between shots.

Slow: The character acts last in each combat round (see Combat in Old-School Essentials).

Two-handed: Requires both hands; the character cannot use a shield.
