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 (1 Action)

You aim directly at a target and fire your weapon at them.

Critical Success You land a Critical Hit on the target.Success You hit the target.Failure You miss the target. 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 blast.Critical Failure You fire dramatically off-target. You suffer a Ranged Weapon Critical Fumble.

INDIRECT FIRE (3 Actions)

You fill an area with a dangerous hail of bullets, rockets or grenades. You do not target an individual, but you create an area of constant damage that lasts for the next round, requiring a Dodge Check against a DC equal to 10+your ranks in Heavy Weapons from each target that enters the area. Due to the nature of indirect fire and area-of-effect weapons, this can be fired around corners.

Critical Success The DC for the Dodge check increases by 10 above your check result.Success Your result sets the DC for the Dodge Check made to avoid the damage.Failure You miss the target. Roll a d8 and a d10 to determine the direction and the distance of the indirect fire field from the targeted area. The DodgeDC to avoid this damage is 15.Critical Failure You fire dramatically off-target. You suffer a Ranged Weapon Critical Fumble.
