Heavy Weapons

This particular skill represents your training with heavy weapons, such as mortars, grenade launchers, rocket launchers, or handheld miniguns. This skill only applies to weapons you are physically wielding, as a mounted weapon relies on the Firearms skill instead.

You may make either Direct Fire or Indirect Fire attacks with this skill.

DIRECT FIRE ⬤ ◌ ◌

You aim directly at a target and spend 1 action to fire your Heavy Weapon. Roll a Heavy Weapons check against their Armor Defense.

Critical Success: You land a Critical Hit.Success: You hit the target.Failure: You miss. If you are launching a grenade or another area-of-effect weapon, if you fail the check by 5 or less, the target is still caught in the outer edge of the blast.Critical Failure: You fire dramatically off-target. You suffer a Ranged Weapon Critical Fumble.

INDIRECT FIRE ⬤ ⬤ ⬤

By taking 3 actions, you fill an Close-ranged burst within your weapon's range with a dangerous hail of munitions, creating a zone of constant damage that lasts for 1 round. Due to the arcing nature of indirect fire, it can be fired over obstacles. Roll a single Heavy Weapons check. This result becomes the Attack Roll against the Dodge Defense of any creature that starts its turn in, or enters, the area.

Critical Success: Your attack roll is treated as a Critical Hit against anyone whose Dodge Defense it beats. All targets in the area gain the Suppressed condition.Success: You deal standard Direct Fire damage to anyone whose Dodge Defense you beat. All targets in the area gain the Suppressed condition.Failure: You fire slightly off-target. Targets take half damage.Critical Failure: You suffer a Ranged Weapon Critical Fumble.

When using Indirect Fire with weapons with a Clip Size of 1, you consume 3 ammo as you rapidly reload and fire again over the course of a round. When using Indirect Fire with weapons with a larger Clip Size, you consume 4d10 ammo as you spray and pray over the course of the round. You must have at least 3 ammo for weapons with a Clip Size of 1, or 10 ammo for weapons with a larger clip size, or else your attempt to use Indirect Fire fails.
