Rapid fire

Some weapons, such as simi automatic fire arma and most bows allow for the rapid fire manuver. This is basically firing the weapon on turns without an action.

The carqcter using rapid fire may fire the weapon as a move action, but only inteither the l8ne or the target they previously  shot at in their action.

Aim

            Move action, +2 to next attack.

Brace

            Gives aim bonus to all shots until brace is broken. Each turn spent bracing gives a +2 range offset (max 10) and +1 autofire offset (max 10)

Charging

Charging is when a character attempt to move during their attack. This can simply be a second move, in which is handled normally. The use of this is most often the attempting to attack while  moving, reaching a target to strike them.

Shot on the Run

            Characters can take move and attack during their action turn, but at a cost.  

            Charge by

+1 str damage per 5’ moved prior to attack

            -1 to offense/defense per 10’ moved of entire movement

            Must move at least 10’ before the attack to gain str bonus. Penalty applies regardless. Any weapon can be used but only str based melee weapons gain bonus.

Dodging strike

Charge Through

            As attack on the run except the character attempts to push pass an opponent. Opposing str checks with character gaining +1 to str check for every 5’ moved prior to attack. If characters forgo doing damage, they gain +1 to their str check.  target wins, the character is halted in the hex Infront of them. If the character wins, they push the target aside and can move 5” for every point to str they won by up to the max of their movement.

            Bull rush: this works just like charge through except that the character attempts to push the target back. str check made every 5’ until the character runs out of movement or the target wins. The target may choose to avoid the character’s attempt, in which case the character has to succeed in an attack before the bull rush starts.
