-Rainmakers are target-callers for some external source of weaponry high above them- this could be a satellite, gunship, bomber squadron, floating eldritch abomination, or whatever. You tell it where to strike, and after a short delay it does so with extreme prejudice. Rainmaker attacks have excellent range and area of effect but are nigh-useless underground, meaning the class is of limited utility to adventurers that spend a lot of time in deep dark dungeons.+Rainmakers are target-callers for some external source of weaponry high above them- this could be a satellite, gunship, bomber squadron, floating eldritch abomination, or whatever.

This allows it to punch holes in rooftops and strike any creatures hiding underneath them. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Buried Alive:** Any creatures that were underneath a roof you destroyed with this attack are left partially buried in its rubble.

-====== Enterprises ====== 
- 
-^Demolition Ground |Space has been set aside for properly testing large munitions. Adventurers can spend a training fee of 1 Dosh in the establishment to temporarily increase their Whelm combat skill by +1 until the end of the current session. A Demolition Ground cannot be used more than once in a given session by any single adventurer. | 
-^Rainmaker School |The settlement hosts an institution that teaches the secrets of this class for a small fee. Keystones of this class can be purchased here for 1 Dosh each. | 
-^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. At least two of the soldier's five abilities need to be weapon abilities, 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 Dosh. |
