-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.

 ^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**The Heavens Are Of Me, Not Thee:** When you attack a target with this weapon that is currently airborne for any reason (flying, jumping, etc) they immediately lose up to 10 meters of elevation. If the trigger die is 10+, they lose up to 20 meters of elevation instead. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Forced Fall:** If a target of the attack ends up hitting the ground (or another solid surface) as a result of this elevation loss, they take fall damage in addition to damage from the weapon itself (1 point per 3 meters fallen, applied directly to Flesh). Fall damage is applied to the target immediately after weapon damage. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Distance Calculation:** Only the actual distance between a target and the ground is taken into account when calculating fall damage. For example, if a target was flying 3 meters above the ground, they lose only 1 point of Flesh from their fall even though they could have fallen up to 10 meters. |

+^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Bring it Down:** You may choose for the attack to utterly splinter anything in its target area made of wood or similarly-durable materials (plastic, bone, ice, etc), and also destroy up to 1 meter's thickness of stone or similarly-durable material such as concrete. 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. This effectively causes them to gain the Grabbed condition from the ruins of whatever building they're in, preventing any movement until they recover from it. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Heavy Ammo:** When choosing to use the this ability, you must always spend a point of Supplies when marking the target area. You no longer roll a trigger die for this; it happens automatically. |

-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Tracking Shots:** When you mark a target location, you can choose to mark a target creature instead. When the attack comes at the beginning of your next round, it will strike the target creature regardless of whether they have moved to a new position during their previous turn. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Large Targeting:** If you mark a creature that's large enough to take up multiple spaces, the target space of the attack is always considered to be their center space. |
+^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Don't Make Me Beat You Like a Government Mule, Now:** You can choose to eliminate the normal 1-round delay when calling for an attack with this weapon. You call, then it comes instantly. Use a single trigger die to both determine Supplies consumption from marking the location and to resolve the attack itself. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**You Better Be On Goddamn Point:** Alternately, you can choose to leave the normal delay in place. If you allow your overhead weapon the luxury of taking the extra time to aim, bonus damage from the attack is increased from +2 to +5 instead. |

All targets other than your lone intended target are left unharmed. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Deadly:** When you use the Smite ability to attack only one target, the attack is considered an assassination strike (if the target is not expecting an attack and is of your level or lower, they are instantly killed by it regardless of defenses or remaining Flesh). |
