-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Attack:** As an action, you may make an area attack against a number of targets within an equilateral triangle, one corner of which must be adjacent to your position. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Variable Targets:** This weapon can hit a different number of potential targets in their area of effect depending on the trigger die, up to a maximum of 4: \\ - If the trigger die is a 1-3, only the closest target is hit. \\ - If 4-6, the closest two are hit. \\ - If 7-9, the closest three. \\ - If 10-12, the closest four. \\ If multiple creatures are equidistant and the boomstick cannot hit all of them, select which will be hit randomly. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Critical Hits:** The attack critically hits (doubling Escalation bonus to damage and inflicting the Bleeding condition) when its associated trigger die is a 12. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Area Weapon:** This weapon does not suffer failure chances from concealment or mismatched sizes between attacker and target. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Close Bonus:** This weapon deals +2 damage to all targets within 5 meters. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Range Falloff:** This attack has a special failure chance of 6 against targets within 11-20 meters. It cannot be used against targets further away than 20 meters at all. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Constrained:** The attack's effect emanates outwards from its starting point (the corner of the triangle that's adjacent to you). Walls and solid barriers can prevent its spread and protect things behind them. Creatures do not constrain the effect's spread.\\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Loud:** Attacking with this weapon creates a loud noise that gets the attention of everything in the general area, especially when used multiple times in succession. The consequences of this will vary depending on the circumstances, but in any case makes this weapon an exceptionally poor choice for stealth. \\ \\ {{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}}**Slow Reload:** In order to use this weapon, you need to reload it first. Reloading happens automatically when you take a movement action, or costs an action by itself if you don't want to move. Once reloaded, the weapon can be used to attack with another action as normal, but will then need to be reloaded once again. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Ammunition:** When the trigger die rolled with the attack is 1-3, 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. |+^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Attack:** As an action, you may make an Whelm attack against a number of targets within an equilateral triangle, one corner of which must be adjacent to your position. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Variable Targets:** This weapon can hit a different number of potential targets in its area of effect depending on the trigger die, up to a maximum of 4: \\ - If the trigger die is a 1-3, only the closest target is hit. \\ - If 4-6, the closest two are hit. \\ - If 7-9, the closest three. \\ - If 10-12, the closest four. \\ If multiple creatures are equidistant and the attack cannot hit all of them, select which will be hit randomly. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Conditions:** When the trigger die is 10+, this weapon inflicts its wielder's choice of the Cracked, Sore, or Vulnerable conditions to its target. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Area Weapon:** This weapon does not suffer failure chances from concealment and failure chances from mismatched sizes between attacker and target are reduced by 12. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Close Bonus:** This weapon deals +2 damage to all targets within 5 meters. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Range Falloff:** This attack has a special failure chance of 6 against targets within 11-20 meters. It cannot be used against targets further away than 20 meters at all. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Constrained:** The attack's effect emanates outwards from its starting point (the corner of the triangle that's adjacent to you). Walls and solid barriers can prevent its spread and protect things behind them. Failure chances from cover apply fully if one target is behind another. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Loud:** Attacking with this weapon creates a loud noise that gets the attention of everything in the general area, especially when used multiple times in succession. The consequences of this will vary depending on the circumstances, but in any case makes this weapon an exceptionally poor choice for stealth. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Slow Reload:** In order to use this weapon, you need to reload it first. Reloading happens automatically when you take a movement action, or costs an action by itself if you don't want to move. Once reloaded, the weapon can be used to attack with another action as normal, but will then need to be reloaded once again. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Ammunition:** When the trigger die rolled with the attack is 1-3, mark off 1 Supples. This weapon cannot be used if you have no Supplies remaining. |
