 Caltroppers are experts in the use of caltrops: little spiky bits of whatever that are scattered on the ground in order to harm the feet of whoever moves through them. As a weapon, their effectiveness is as much about denial as actually dealing damage; this makes them a poor choice for a straightforward brawler but an excellent tool for a more tactically-minded battle administrator.

 ====== Caltropper ======

-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Setup:** As an action, you may scatter caltrops in a space of your choice in throwing range (0-10 meters) plus all adjacent spaces. Scattering caltrops counts as an attack action for purposes of double-attacks or the nauseous condition. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Attack:** Every time a creature enters a space that you've caltropped (including allies or even yourself) you automatically attack them with the effect. This does not require you to spend any actions or even for it to be your turn. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Conditions:** When the trigger die is 10+, this weapon inflicts its wielder's choice of the X, X, or X conditions to its target. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Critical Hits:** The attack critically hits (dealing double normal damage) when its associated trigger die is a 12. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Vision Independent:** This weapon does not suffer failure chances from concealment. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Clearable:** Any creature can clear the caltrops out of an adjacent space by spending an action to sweep them aside. If a creature dies while in a caltropped space, the caltrops are all automatically removed from that space. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Size Failure:** Smaller creatures are harder to hit with your weapon, and larger ones are harder to meaningfully damage. For every size category different than your own your target is, your attacks have a failure chance of 3. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Water Blocked:** This weapon cannot be used effectively at all while underwater or against targets that are underwater. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Ammunition:** Roll a trigger die when setting up the effect. When the result is a 1, the attack uses 1 point of Supply or one use of an Ammo Bag item. This weapon cannot be used if you have no Supply/Ammo Bag uses remaining. Note that attacking with the caltrops does not consume or require Supply, only the initial setup does. \\ \\ {{ra>doubled?24&align=left}}**Thrown Effect:** As a thrown effect, this ability can be used to synergize with throwing-specific abilities such as the Sprinter's Running Drop or the Archer's Trick Arrow. |
+^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Welcome to Sharp Painful Object Land:** As an action, you may scatter caltrops in a space of your choice in throwing range (0-10 meters) plus all adjacent spaces. Scattering caltrops counts as an attack action for purposes of double-attacks and all game mechanics that affect attacks (such as the Nauseous condition). \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Attack:** Every time a creature travels 1 meter into one (or more) spaces that you've caltropped (including allies or even yourself) you automatically attack them with the effect. This does not require you to spend any actions or even for it to be your turn. Creatures that travel through multiple meters worth of caltropped spaces are attacked multiple times by the effect, causing damage to stack up extremely quickly. Creatures of size 6 or higher that occupy multiple spaces at once are still attacked by this effect just once per meter traveled regardless of how many caltropped spaces they are actually occupying. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Conditions:** When the trigger die is 10+, this weapon inflicts its wielder's choice of the Crippled, Dizzy, or Sore conditions to its target. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Pain From Below:** This weapon does not suffer failure chances from concealment, cover, or shields (from the [[Shieldbearer]] archetype). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Clearable:** Any creature can clear the caltrops out of an adjacent space by spending an action to sweep them aside and move into the newly-swept space. Larger creatures that occupy multiple spaces can clear all adjacent spaces they will be moving into simultaneously as a single action. If a creature dies while in a caltropped space, the caltrops are all automatically removed from that space. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Ammunition:** Roll a trigger die when setting up the effect. When the result is a 1, mark off 1 Supplies. This weapon cannot be used if you have no Supplies remaining. Note that attacking with the caltrops does not consume or require any resources, only the initial setup does. |

One such free attack is triggered by every two meters a target moves. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Self-Moves Only:** If a conditioned target moves via riding on another creature or a vehicle, a Barbed attack is not triggered on them. If a conditioned creature is moved directly by another creature via a pushing effect or other similar ability, a Barbed attack is not triggered on them. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Condition-Dependent:** When a subject that you've applied a Caltropper condition to recovers from the condition, they are also no longer prone to attacks from this effect (they successfully pulled out the caltrop). |

-^Caltropper Squad |The settlement is home to a squad of 10 soldiers focusing on this class's weapon type. A single settlement can have multiple versions of this enterprise. All 10 soldiers are level 5 and have the same abilities/statistics, determined by you. Two of the soldier's five abilities need to be from this class, and all of the soldier's abilities need to be ones personally known by the retiring adventurer who establishes the squad. Squads fight for the interests of their local settlement. If a squad is wiped out, it can be restored to fighting order by spending 5 Supply. |
