-A Spellbolter's projectiles have extremely short range, but make up for it with the innate ability to ignore concealment and most forms of cover. In most cases the unusual behavior of Spellbolter attacks mean they must be magical in nature, but it's also possible to flavor the class as specialized telekinesis or perhaps mastery over small, flying kamikaze creatures.
-This is a weapon and subject to [[UWR|universal weapon rules]].

-====== Spellbolter ======
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Attack:** As an action, you may make a Remote attack against any target within 5 meters. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Conditions:** When the trigger die is 10+, this weapon inflicts its wielder's choice of the Choking, Crippled, or Vulnerable conditions to its target. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Homing:** Attacks with this weapon unerringly seek their targets, allowing them to completely ignore concealment. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Looping Strike:** Because your projectile is capable of independently altering its own trajectory, it does not need to fly in a straight line from you to your target. This attack completely ignores partial cover under all circumstances, and completely ignores total cover if there is any open route within range for it to get around/over/under whatever's providing the total cover. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Backstab:** If you attack a target that cannot see you, you deal +2 damage. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Water Slowed:** This weapon cannot be used effectively at all while underwater. You may target creatures that are underwater, but each meter of water passed through counts as five meters of air for purposes of range. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Ammunition:** When the trigger die rolled with the attack is 1-3, mark off 1 Supplies. This weapon cannot be used if you have no Supplies remaining. |
-|{{fa>caret-right?24}} ^{{fa>star?24|Alternative}} |{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Longer Range:** You can fire at subjects further away than 5 meters, up to a maximum of 50 meters. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Accuracy Drop:** Shooting at very distant targets carries a failure chance. Failure chance is 3 for targets within 6-10 meters, 6 for targets within 11-20 meters, and 9 for targets within 21-50 meters. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Looping Shot Accuracy:** Failure chances from shooting at longer range apply even when a target is close by if you had to send your projectile out further in order to get around cover to get at them. For example, if you had to send your projectile out 20 meters in order to get around a wall and hit a target on the other side that's only 5 meters away from your position, failure chance is 6 because the maximum distance away your attack traveled was still 20. |

-^Condition ^^Explanation ^
-|{{ra>noose?32&align=left}} ^Choking |{{fa>minus-circle?18&align=left}} Lose 1 Energy at the end of each round. If no Energy remains, lose Flesh instead. Successfully throwing off the condition prevents damage for that round. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?18&align=left}} Making a recovery action no longer restores 1 Energy (but still allows a check to remove a condition as normal). |
-|{{ra>snail?32&align=left}} ^Crippled |{{fa>minus-circle?18&align=left}} The maximum distances of all movement and abilities that grant movement are reduced by one step on the standard distance scale (10 -> 5 -> 2 -> 1 -> 0). |
-|{{ra>falling?32&align=left}} ^Vulnerable |{{fa>minus-circle?18&align=left}} All incoming weapon attacks deal +2 damage. |
-====== Backfinder ======
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Exploit Blindspot:** So long as there is an open route for you to send a missile at a target's back, your attacks always count as backstabs (+2 damage) even from the front. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Scorn Shields:** When you backstab a target from the front using this ability, you also ignore the target's shield (from the Shieldbearer class), if any. Shieldbearers that take the option to completely turtle up and defend against attacks from all directions can still protect themselves from Spellbolter strikes as normal. |
-^ ^^^
-====== Beaconeer ======
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Blood Trail:** Every time you successfully damage a target with a Spellbolter attack they are marked in some way, making further attacks more effective. When attacking a previously-marked target, range becomes 20 instead of 5 and the attack deals +2 damage. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Fading Power:** When the current exploration turn ends, any marked targets lose their mark automatically. |
-|{{fa>caret-right?24}} ^{{fa>star?24|Alternative}} |{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Longer Range:** You can fire at marked subjects further away than 20 meters, up to a maximum of 200 meters. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Accuracy Drop:** Shooting at very distant targets carries a failure chance. Failure chance is 3 for targets within 21-50 meters, 6 for targets within 51-100 meters, and 9 for targets within 101-200 meters. |
-^ ^^^
-====== Skipper ======
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Sticky Bolt:** When you attack with your projectile, you can choose to keep it hovering near its target instead of being destroyed or immediately flying back to your side. On your next attack, you may freely re-attack the same target even if they've since moved out of your normal range. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Bouncing Viper:** You may also use your previous target as a springboard to attack other nearby targets. Range and cover are calculated from your last target's position, not from your own position. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Master's Side:** Once active combat ends, the range of the weapon reverts back to being yourself instead of a previously-attacked target. |
-^ ^^^
-====== Tearthrough ======
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Yondu Style:** If you kill a creature with your attack, you may immediately make another attack as a free action against any other target within range. There is no limit to how many times you can do this per round. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Living Cloth:** If the trigger die is a 12, you may immediately make another attack as a free action against any other target within range even if your attack didn't kill its original subject. |
-^ ^^^
-====== Twinned ======
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Two Targets:** Double-attacking with this weapon has no Energy cost so long as both attacks are targeted at different subjects.|
