-Most weapons deal damage at the moment of attack, but Injectors also have the added property of leaving something damaging behind. Poison is a classic (leading to great conceptual synergy with the [[Poisoner]] archetype) but it could also be flavored as barbs, parasites, or whatever else.+^{{ra>key?48|Possible Keystones}} |1.

-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Attack:** As an action, you may make a Melee attack against any target within 1 meter. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Conditions:** When the trigger die is 10+, this weapon inflicts its wielder's choice of the Bleary, Choking, or Numb conditions to its target. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Backstab:** If you attack a target that cannot see you, you deal +2 damage. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Assassinate:** If you attack a creature of your own level or lower that wasn't expecting to be attacked, it instantly dies. Creatures that are higher-level than you are immune to assassination and your attack is resolved normally against them. Assassination strikes can fail just like normal strikes (due to concealment, size differences, etc). \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Inject:** When the attack's trigger die is a 7+, you leave something behind in your target's body that can cause them further harm. As an action, you can choose to make a "progression attack" against any target you've previously successfully injected. Progression attacks have effectively infinite range and completely ignore all failure chances from cover, concealment, or the presence of water. All progression attacks are considered backstabs (and thus deal +2 damage) even if the target can clearly and directly sense you when you're making them. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Course Is Run:** When the trigger die rolled with a progression attack is 1-6, the target loses its injected status immediately afterwards and must be re-injected before any more progression attacks are made. Injected targets automatically lose their injected status at the end of the current exploration turn. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Water Failure:** This weapon is awkward underwater, but not impossibly so. Attacks made while submerged or against a submerged target have a failure chance of 6. |+^{{ra>axe-swing?48|Active Combat}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**This Won't Hurt Me a Bit:** As an action, you may make a Melee attack against any target within 1 meter. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Conditions:** When the trigger die is 10+, this weapon inflicts its wielder's choice of the Bleary, Choking, or Numb conditions to its target. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Skullduggery:** This weapon can be used to backstab (+2 damage to targets that cannot see you) and assassinate (instantly kill targets of equal or lower level who weren't expecting an attack). \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Inject:** When the attack's trigger die is a 7+, you leave something behind in your target's body that can cause them further harm.

Injected targets automatically lose their injected status at the end of the current exploration turn. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Water Failure:**  This weapon is less awkward underwater than normal. Attacks made while submerged or against a submerged target have a failure chance of 6 instead of simply being impossible. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Ammunition:** When the trigger die rolled with the attack is 1, lose 1 Supplies. This weapon cannot be used if you have no Supplies remaining. |

-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Grand Finale:** When you use a progression attack to strike the final blow on a target, they violently expel multiple injectables as they succumb. Every enemy target within 2 meters of the slain target's position is automatically considered injected and you can choose to make progression attacks against them even if you've never attacked them directly with your Injector before. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Smart Targeting:** This effect only spreads injections to targets you choose. Allies and bystanders are immune (so long as you want them to be, anyway). |+^{{ra>nodular?48|Enhancement}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Longer Reach:** You may use normal attacks with this weapon ar a range of 2 meters instead of only 1. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Plague:** When the trigger die with a progression attack is 10+, you may select any other target within 2 meters of the original to add the injected status to (and thus allow yourself to use progression attacks against them as well, if you want). \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Grand Finale:** When you use a progression attack to strike a killing blow on a target, all enemies within 2 meters of them become injected as well. |

You can declare a new prescription target by spending another procedure to re-adjust your formula. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Still Approved For General Use:** The injector has no special bonus against creatures other than the specified target, but still has all the normal effects against them. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Materials Advantage:** If you have access to some part of the intended subject's body (hair clippings, drop of blood, chewed-off fingernails, severed thumb, whatever) when you are adjusting your formula to target them, then the bonus damage increases to +5. |+^{{ra>hand-emblem?48|Active Logistics}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Just For You:** By spending a procedure's worth of work, you can adjust your injectable formula to be particularly effective against a specific individual that you name, such as “Lord Toastwanker”, “The Dean's horse”, or “that one guy in the homemade batman costume who keeps trying to steal my hubcaps.” Against the specified target, the injector deals +2 damage with all regular and progression strikes.
