Every good Wastelander needs a good Weapon to kill with, otherwise what's the point of the 2nd Amendment!? The world is FILLED with weapons to kill with and enhance your effectiveness in Combat! Though, I cannot say for most people, but I LOVE to use Spears and Tridents! There's just something that the reach says to your opponent can say to your enemy! Speaking of......
*Goes offscreen and STABS an attacker and his wife. Comes back drenched in blood.*
Ahhhhhhhhhh..... That's it. But, this isn't a comic book. You can't just suddenly MASTER a weapon right off the Bat! Hehe... Bat. You have to get used to the Weapon to gain Proficiency with it! It may take awhile, but you can gain Perks if you work at it! But..... Be careful. Choose your fights wisely, because just like my Grandfather used to say, 'Things don't last forever.' But Don't you fret! A couple of Engineering checks can fix your weapon RIGHT UP! And maybe, with the right stuff, you can even make it better!
The Use Of Force: Melee Weapons get additional from the BOD+Force number which is divided by a certain value as F/x, when dealing with fractions, you round UP.
Bullets: Bullets, save for those used in blackpowder weapons, are rare and expensive to make and buy. Save your bullets, use a melee weapon where-ever and when-ever you can.
Weapon Qualities:
-Angle Damage (Angle): Everything within the angle stated takes damage, both foe AND friend. Watch out!
-Armor Piercing: Armor Piercing weapons ignore Armor, obviously. Cutting through!
-Biometrically Encoded: This weapon is encoded to a specific genetic sequence. The difficulty is how difficult it will be to use AGI+Crafting and INT+Engineering rolls using an electronics toolkit or workshop to disengage or reprogram the lock. You're going to encounter this later.
-Blunt: These weapons are effective at reducing the protection of armor with the 'Massive' Quality. Or smashing in skulls.
-Camo (Difficulty): The weapon is disguised as something else, with the difficulty listed for an INS+Perception roll to realise what it truly is.
-Cloud (Radius, Amount Of Time): This weapon generates a thick cloud that covers a specific range for a set period of time, possibly shorted in heavy winds. Poisonous Smoke Bombs, anyone?
-Deviation (1D20): This weapon will go off-course slightly by rolling 1D20 to see how far it goes off course. (Used for Projectiles only.) This is for when the max range is over-reached.
-Double Barreled: This weapon has two barrels that can be fired simultaneously or independently. Firing both barrels deals double damage but takes 2 Rounds to reload fully.
-Entangling (Penalty): This weapon tangles the legs and limbs, imposing the set penalty to all movement-related actions.
-Explosive: This weapon or ammunition deals tapering damage in a wide area. BAM!
-Fatal: This weapon uses some manner of exotic ammunition or deadly energies. In any case if an attack is successful, it causes Trauma damage, not Flesh Wound damage. This damage is still reduced by armour, thankfully. Unless the weapon can Peirce more than your armor rating, then.... You're Fucked.
-Fragile: If at any time during an attack that a nat '1' is rolled, the weapon shatters. If the attack is successful, damage is still applied.
-Impact (Crits only): The weapon is heavy and unbalanced, requiring that a minimum number of Triggers are rolled to avoid becoming unbalanced, dazed, or Bloody for 1 round.
-Jamming (Projectile weapons only.): A true curse of any weapon. If more 1's than 6's are rolled in an attack, the weapon jams and must take 1 round to clear the jam.
-Muzzle Loader: This weapon requires shoving in blackpowder, then ramming home and tamping a lead bullet in a (generally) smoothbore barrel. It takes 2 rounds to reload a muzzle loader. Now imagine reloading a double-barreled muzzle loader...... Ugh......
-Muffled: This weapon is fairly quiet or is fitted with a Bygone silencer. It takes a INS+Perception roll to detect the shots. Silence was the way to go.
-Out Of Control (Difficulty): This weapon is just as dangerous to you as it is to the enemy. If the wielder fails a BOD+Melee or AGI+Porjectile roll against the difficulty listed, the damage is done to the wielder instead of the enemy, the weapon just flies out of the users hands, or you accidentally shred your BEST FRIENDS WIFE. So be careful with that chainsaw, yeah? I'm looking at you Steve!
-Piercing (Armor Rating): The weapon ignores armor up to the rating listed. If the rating attacked is higher, the remainder is subtracted from damage as normal, or deflected entirely depending on the weapon. Massive and Bulletproof both work on this quality.
-Salvo (Number Of Rounds): This weapon is capable of unleashing a hail of bullets at the enemy. The number listed is the number of bullets that can be fired in a single Action, with each bullet after the first adding +1D20 to Handling and +1 to Damage. If multiple targets are close together, the shooter can divide the bullets and dice between the targets, rolling for each one, and then divides the bonus damage by the number of targets, rounding fractions up. In other words, RATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT! Or my favorite one, DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!
-Scatter: The weapon fires a cloud of projectiles in a rough cone. The damage listed is only for close range, any range over that causes the damage to be reduced by 4, but at least there's no range penalty, something is gonna hit one way or another. Just don't try to snipe with buckshot though... Learned that lesson the hard way.
-Sensitive: This weapon is made from fragile components or is carefully balanced. If attacked or the weapon is used to defend, should the enemy roll at least 1 Trigger, the weapon's handling is reduced by 1D permanently. It will require an AGI+Crafting roll against the Tech Level and damage taken to repair and if the repair roll fails, the Proficiency level is permanently reduced by one.
-Special Damage (Enemy Type, Damage): This weapon causes extra damage against certain types of opposition.
-Standard (Bonus): This weapon is a potent symbol, and anyone around the weapon gains the bonus listed due to its inspiring presence.
-Talisman (Bonus): The weapon is a symbol of faith or luck to a certain group or has great personal value. It grants it's bonus to any Faith/Willpower rolls made as long as it is in the wielder's possession. You may even get some bonus standing with your god....
-Terrifying (Difficulty): The weapon holds an aura of black malice, speaks it's readiness in a foreign tongue, and some parts glow with unholy, unearthly light.
-Thunderstrike: Every shot rattles teeth, causes dust to dance and shakes windows in their frames. Animals quail and flee, humans shiver and whimper. Both must make PSY+Faith/Willpower rolls or flee screaming from the assault.
