values, such as Mental limit and attacks.

Base Attack Bonus

Base attack Bonus is the basic fighting ability of the character. It is

a base bonus that applies to all attacks that the character makes.
Base attack bonus increases every level by +1.

Mental Limit

Mental limit is a representation of a character’s mental capacity to

use Magic, Psionics, and Incantations. The value for mental limit
can be effected by the character’s race, so be sure to verify that
you are using the correct calculation. In games without Magic,

The formula is recalculated as your new total when leveling.
The formula for the Mental Limit is:
((6+WIS mod)×Character Level)+30 or the Racial Men-

Extended Hit Points (XHP)

XHP are a measure of a character’s ability to turn a direct hit into

a graze or a glancing blow with no serious consequences. XHP
goes up with level, giving high-level characters more ability to

Crafting a brand new melee weapon When crafting a new

weapon, a character must first pick what current category the
weapon would fit into, as well as the type of weapon. Variations
on a weapon can quickly change a weapon’s category and type.
Crafting a melee weapon has the advantage of losing the

calls for a check, as does disarming an explosive device.

Set Detonator
Most explosives require a detonator to go off. Connecting a
detonator to an explosive requires a Demolitions check [TN10].
Failure means that the explosive fails to go off as planned. Failure
by 10 or more means the explosive goes off as the detonator is
being installed.
A character can make an explosive difficult to disarm. To do so,
the character chooses the disarm TN before making their check
to set the detonator (it must be higher than 10). The character’s
TN to set the detonator is equal to the disarm TN.

Create Pre-made Explosives

This skill also includes creating pre-made explosives from raw
explosive materials and detonators. The character chooses the
type of detonators they wish to use for the explosive, as well as
any pre-set weights, or timing required. A character may have
an explosive with more than one kind of detonator, but each

Pilot (DEX) Trained Only

This skill allows a character to successfully pilot aircraft of
various types.
Typical piloting tasks don’t require checks. Checks are
required during combat, for special maneuvers, in other extreme
circumstances, or when the pilot wants to attempt something
outside the normal parameters of the vehicle. When flying, the
character can attempt simple maneuvers and stunts (actions in
which the pilot attempts to do something complex very quickly or
in a limited space). Each vehicle’s description includes a maneuver
modifier that applies to Pilot checks made by the operator of the
vehicle.

Normal
A pilot can fly attack helicopters and military prop aircraft but
can not use any of the weapons or countermeasures.

Special
A character can take 10 when making a Pilot check.
There is no penalty for operating a general-purpose fixed-wing
aircraft. Other types of aircraft (heavy aircraft, attack helicopters,

Ride (DEX) Time

The character is skilled at riding mounts, usually a horse, but Ride costs 6 Combat Points, except when otherwise noted for
possibly something more exotic, like an elephant or camel. the special tasks listed above.
Typical riding actions don’t require checks. You can saddle,
mount, ride, and dismount from a mount without a problem. The
following tasks do require checks. If you attempt to ride a creature
that is ill suited as a mount, you take a −5 penalty on your Ride
checks. In addition, attempting trick riding or commanding the
animal to perform an unusual technique also requires a check.

Guide with Knees [TN5] The character can react instantly to

guide their mount with their knees so that the character can use
both hands in combat or to perform some other action. Make the
check at the start of the character’s round. If the character fails,
they can only use one hand this round because the character
needs to use the other to control their mount.

Stay in Saddle [TN5] The character can react instantly to try

to avoid falling when their mount rears or bolts unexpectedly or
when the character takes damage.

Fight while Mounted [TN20] While in combat, the character

can attempt to control a mount that is not trained in combat riding.
If the character succeeds they use only 6 Combat Points and the
character can use their remaining Combat Points to do something
else. If the character fails, they can do nothing else that round. If
the character fails by more than 5, they lose control of the animal.
For animals trained in combat riding, the character does not
need to make this check. Instead, the character can use 6 Combat
Points to have the animal perform a trick (commonly, to attack).
The character can use the rest of their Combat Points normally.

Cover [TN15] The character can react instantly to drop down

and hang alongside their mount, using it as ½ cover. The character
can’t attack while using their mount as cover. If the character fails,
they don’t get the cover benefit.

Soft Fall [TN15] The character reacts instantly when they fall
off a mount, such as when it is killed or when it falls, to try to
avoid taking damage. If the character fails, they take 1d6 points
of fall damage.

Leap [TN15] The character can get their mount to leap obstacles
as part of its movement. Use the character’s Ride modifier or the
mount’s Athletics modifier (whichever is lower) when the mount
makes its Athletics check. The character makes a TN15 Ride check
to stay on the mount when it leaps.

Fast Mount or Dismount [TN20]; armor penalty applies The

character can mount or dismount by using 2 Combat Points. If the
character fails the check mounting or dismounting costs 6 Combat
Points. A character can’t attempt a fast mount or dismount unless
they can perform the mount or dismount by spending 6 Combat
Points this round, should the check fail.

If the character is riding bareback (Without a saddle), they take
a −5 penalty on Ride checks.

Treat Injury (WIS)

The character knows how to use first aid kits to restore health, treat poison, and stabilize characters.

Long Term Care [TN20] With a first aid kit this check allows a patient to restore CHP, XHP, and Ability Points at an advanced rate,
3HP/3AP extra per full day of rest. A new check is required each day. You can tend to as many patients as you have ranks. The
patient must spend all their time resting and the user must dedicate 30 minutes of care per day per patient.

Restore Hit Points [TN20] With a first aid kit you can restore 1d4 CHP or XHP to a character. XHP is always restored first. This may
be done only once per day per character. This costs 12 Combat Points.

Stop Bleeding [TN10] With a first aid kit or applicable supplies you can stop a character from bleeding. This removes 2 bleed dice.
For every 4 points the character achieves beyond the TN, they heal an additional bleed dice. This costs 8 Combat Points.

Revive a Dazed, Stunned, or Unconscious Character [TN17] With a first aid kit you can remove the Dazed, Stunned, or Unconscious
condition from a character. You can’t revive a character that is at −1 or lower CHP without stabilizing them first. This costs 8 Combat
Points.

Stabilize Dying Character [TN15] With a first aid kit you can tend to a dying character. The character stops losing HP. This costs 8
Combat Points. Unlike the other actions, this action cannot be performed without a first aid kit.

Surgery [TN25] With a surgery kit you can conduct field surgery, allowing you to realign broken bones, remove bullets or shrapnel,
and stitch up grievous wounds. Surgery restores 1d6 CHP or XHP per 2 skill modifiers the character has in Treat Injury, heals all
extremity damage, and removes all bleed damage. XHP is always restored first. Undergoing surgery causes fatigue for 24 hours,
minus 2 hours for every point above the TN the surgeon achieves. Surgery requires 1d4 hours plus one hour for each point the
character’s CHP has fallen below 0.

Treat Poison [TN15] With a first aid kit, you make a check when a poisoned character makes a Fortitude Saving Throw against a
poison’s secondary effect. If you succeed, you add your Treat Injury rank as a bonus to their Fortitude Saving Throw. This costs 8
Combat Points.

Try Again?
Yes for restoring HP, reviving Dazed, Stunned, or Unconscious characters, stabilizing dying characters, stop bleeding and surgery.
No for all other uses of the skill.

Time
Treat Injury checks take different amounts of time based on the task at hand.

One attack is one pull of the trigger and fires one bullet at one

to make this sort of attack without penalty. If a character isn’t
proficient in personal firearms they take a −4 penalty on attacks

fires more than one round or shell. As with all forms of ranged Burst fire (2RB/3RB) Stands for burst fire, in 2RB and 3RB

Close Combat & Firearms

Firearms are anything but close ranged weapons,

they’re designed with range, and the benefits that come
with it, in mind. Because of this, many firearms are
unwieldy to use in close quarters. A character takes a −6

Table 43: Miss Locations

After the explosive’s landing point is determined, it deals its

damage to all targets within the blast radius of the weapon.
Wounding Radius for Explosives

Explosives often reach out past their original blast radius

and are still effective. This is called the wounding radius,
and is 5’ outside of the blast radius per 10’. Any target
caught in the wounding radius must make a Reflex Saving
Throw [TN15 (+1 per 10’ of blast radius)] or take full damage.
If the character passes the Reflex Saving Throw, they take
half of the damage of the explosive. Only explosives that
cause damage can have a wounding radius. Any target
caught in the wounding radius of an explosive that can
knock a creature prone must make a Fortitude Saving
Throw [TN16 (+1 per 10’ of blast radius)] or be knocked
prone.

Cooking off Grenades

Grenades normally take 1 turn to detonate after they are

thrown, but a character can cook off a grenade instead.
A character can spend the Combat Points it would take to
throw a grenade to instead hold it at the ready, throwing
it at the very beginning of their next turn. Regardless of
if they throw the grenade or not, it still goes off where
it is. A character can not perform any other actions but
movement while they are cooking off a grenade.
 83

Blast Radius
The blast radius shows the range of squares that an explosive affects. To determine the area affected by a blast or cone, treat the
effect as “moving” from the targeted square following the same rules as characters for diagonal movement, with the first square
counting for the first 5’ of that “movement”. Below are references for both cones and blast radius.

Called Shot
When a character attacks they are usually targeting center
mass which is the chest and torso region. If a character wishes to
target a specific extremity, such as an arm or leg, they may do
so. Making a called shot invokes a −6 penalty for an arm or leg,
a −7 penalty for a hand or foot, or a −9 penalty for the head.
If the character is hit anywhere during a called shot attack with

Attacking with Two Weapons

If the character wields a second weapon in their off hand the
character can attack with it like normal. Fighting this way is very
difficult, however. When using both weapons in the same attack
action, the character takes a −6 penalty on the regular attack or
attacks with their primary hand and a −10 penalty on the attack
with their off hand. A character fighting with two weapons only
has to spend the Combat Points as if attacking with one weapon,
but the Combat Point cost is increased by 1, for the largest weapon
used.

damage to most objects; divide the damage by 2 before applying

the hardness. Cold attacks deal ¼ damage to most objects; divide
the damage by 4 before applying the hardness.

Ineffective Weapons The GM may determine that certain

weapons just can’t deal damage effectively to certain objects.

Immunities Objects are immune to non-lethal damage.

Saving Throws Unattended objects never make Saving Throws.

They are considered to have failed their Saving Throws. An
object attended by a character (being grasped, touched, or worn)
receives a Saving Throw just as if the character herself were
making the Saving Throw.

Breaking Objects When a character tries to break something

with sudden force rather than by dealing damage, use a STR
check to see whether they succeed. The TN depends more on
the construction of the object than on the material. If an object
has lost half or more of its hit points, the TN to break it decreases
by 2.

Repairing Objects Repairing damage to an object takes a full

hour of work and appropriate tools. Without the proper tools, a
character takes a −6 penalty on their Craft check. At the end of
the hour, make a Craft (Structural) check [TN20]. Success restores
2d6 HP. If damage remains, the character may continue to make
repairs for as many hours as it takes to restore all the object’s HP.

Facing
All characters have a facing: the direction to the adjacent square the character or creature is pointing toward. This means that a
Medium creature standing in a given square has eight possible facings. The three squares a Small or Medium character is pointing
toward are its front area. The three squares behind it are its rear area. The squares to its left and right are its flanks. Larger characters
have more squares to deal with, but they still face toward one of eight directions. Their front areas remain the squares in front of
them (including those on the front corners); their rear areas remain the squares behind them (including those on the rear corners);
and their flanks remain the squares directly to their sides.

Targeting Occupants
An attack made against a vehicle uses the vehicle’s Defense
modified by its speed category. Attackers can choose instead to
target specific vehicle occupants.
An attack against a vehicle occupant is made like any other
attack. Remember, however, that a character in a vehicle gains
bonuses to Defense from both the vehicle’s speed and any cover
it provides.

Cover
When a character fires from a vehicle, objects or other vehicles
in the way can provide cover for the target.

Damaging Vehicles
All vehicles have Hit Points which are roughly equivalent to a
character’s Hit Points. Like most inanimate objects, vehicles also
have hardness. Whenever a vehicle takes damage, subtract the
vehicle’s hardness from the damage dealt.
When a vehicle is reduced to 0 Hit Points, it is disabled. Although
it might be repairable it ceases functioning. A vehicle that is
disabled while moving drops one speed category each round until
it comes to a stop. The driver cannot attempt any maneuvers
except a 45-degree turn.
A vehicle is destroyed when it loses Hit Points equal to twice its
full normal total. A destroyed vehicle cannot be repaired.

Tires
Most ground vehicles need tires to move. Targeting a tire is a
called shot at a −4 to hit the tire. If a vehicle’s tire is hit the driver
must make a Drive check [TN16] or lose control of the vehicle. For
every tire lost, the vehicle loses one-quarter of its speed.

Energy Attacks
Vehicles are treated as objects when subjected to energy attacks.

Exploding Vehicles
If the attack that disables a vehicle deals damage equal to half
its full Hit Points or more, the vehicle explodes after 1d6 rounds.
This explosion deals 15d6 points of Fire damage to everyone

Modern Handguns
The handguns listed under this section represent the selection from the mid-1950s to the present day. These are the mostly commonly
encountered handguns in this day and age.

Modern Holdout Handguns A holdout handgun is a handgun designed as a last ditch defensive weapon, to be drawn when all
other weapons are compromised. Holdout handguns go well with a pocket holster, conceal carry holster, ankle holster, or tummy
holster, but can also be stuck in a belt holster if one wishes.
Holdout handguns generally make poor sidearms, because of low capacity, weak calibers, or lack of barrel length to get the
desired accuracy at a distance one would use a sidearm. They are generally reserved for people who need a handgun, but they
don’t need it to be big, flashy, or often times, expensive, or if one needs to stow a handgun in a small area, such as under the seat of
a car, or in a glove compartment.

Modern Backup Handguns A backup handgun is a scaled down version of a service revolver or pistol, designed for easy
concealment. Their ammunition capacities are likewise scaled down, however, making them decent sidearms, but not the first to be
chosen. Backup handguns go well with shoulder holsters, belt holsters, ankle holsters, or even tactical holsters.
Backup handguns are generally the go-to guns when a main sidearm is compromised, or is otherwise unavailable. They make
decent sidearms for smaller framed people, where a full-sized handgun would be unwieldy or uncomfortable, or when decent, hard
hitting firepower is needed, but not at the size of a full-sized handgun. They should not be discarded because of their backup nature:
Backup handguns are often chambered in serviceable calibers, and often take the same magazines as their larger counterparts.

Modern Full Size Handguns Full-size handguns usually serve as the duty weapons of most military forces and law enforcement
officers around the world. They’re built for effectiveness over concealment, with bulky utilitarian frames, heavy grips, and high
ammunition capacities. Full-size handguns go well with any holster that they can fit in, but generally are put in belt holsters, tactical
holsters, and shoulder holsters
Full-size handguns do not necessarily have to meet the concealable issue that backup and holdout handguns have, therefore are
generally larger and possess plenty of ammunition to have an extended fight with. The downsides are that they do shoot handgun
ammunition, and are weak when compared to rifles and shotguns. Full sized handguns should be used when concealment is not a
large issue, but a full sized rifle or shotgun would be unwieldy to use, or too heavy to carry. When used with longarms, they should
supplement the weapon, particularity as a backup gun.

Modern Target Handguns and Hunting Handguns A target handgun is a handgun that is built specifically for long or short
range target shooting, usually chambered in an inexpensive caliber, such as .22 Long Rifle. A hunting handgun is a large handgun
that shoots a large caliber bullet, usually used for hunting large game. Target handguns and hunting handguns are too big to conceal,
and go well with tactical holsters, and some slings.
Target handguns should not be pushed into service as a combat weapon unless absolutely necessary, as the calibers they fire are
generally weak in nature. Hunting handguns, on the other hand, are generally larger versions of full sized handguns, and can make
suitable combat handguns, even if somewhat unwieldy.
Some target handguns are simply cut down lever action rifles, that have extremely short barrels (for a rifle, but long for a handgun),
but still fire a full powered handgun cartridge.

Personal Defense Weapons

“Pull Trigger, Piss Bullets” —Anonymous H&K Representative
A personal defense weapon (PDW) is a compact semi-automatic or fully automatic firearm similar in most respects to a
sub-machine gun, but firing a (often proprietary) rifle round, giving a PDW better range, accuracy and armor-penetrating capability
than sub-machine guns, which fire pistol-caliber cartridges. The class of weapon as it exists today evolved as a hybrid between a
sub-machine gun and a carbine, retaining the compact size and ammunition capacity of the former while adding the ammunition
power, accuracy and penetration of the latter. For the context of this book, PDWs include sub-machine guns as well as machine pistols.
A machine pistol is a handgun-style, often magazine-fed and self-loading firearm, capable of fully automatic or burst fire, and
normally chambered for pistol cartridges.
A sub-machine gun is an automatic carbine, designed to fire pistol cartridges. It combines the automatic fire of a machine gun
with the cartridge of a pistol, which allows for controllable automatic fire in a close setting. Sub-machine guns almost always have
stocks, and are used like close ranged rifles.

Modern Personal Defense Weapons

The PDWs listed under this section represent the selection from the mid-1950s to the present day. These are the mostly commonly
encountered PDWs in this day and age.

Rifles
“This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as
I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must
shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will.” —Excerpt from the
Rifleman’s Creed
Rifles are split into categories by their size, accessories, actions, and use.
When selecting a rifle, a character should always consider many things, such as what the role they plan to play with that rifle,
the ammunition type, caliber, and accessories they will take use of. Rifles are best complimented with a variety of upgrades, and
should take full use of them. Rifles are less personal weapons, more utilitarian weapons that are used and employed when needed,
and stowed away when not.

Modern Carbines
A carbine is a longarm similar to, but shorter than, a rifle. Many carbines are shortened versions of full rifles, firing the same
ammunition at a lower velocity due to a shorter barrel length, and as such, the range for carbines is usually less than their rifle
counterparts.

Modern Assault, Battle, and Target Rifles

An assault rifle is an automatic rifle that Uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. Assault rifles are the standard
infantry weapons in most modern armies. Assault rifles are categorized in between light machine guns, which are intended more for
sustained automatic fire in a light support role, and sub-machine guns, which fire a pistol cartridge rather than a rifle cartridge.
A battle rifle is a military service rifle that fires a full power rifle cartridge.
Target rifles are semi-automatic rifles that use a varying degrees of cartridges, from the lighter assault rifle cartridges, to the
heavier battle rifle cartridges. Target rifles may retain and appear to be exactly like assault and battle rifles, even down to having
part and magazine compatibility, but target rifles have a semi-automatic rate of fire only.
Assault rifles, battle rifles, and target rifles go well with a multitude of upgrades based on their use, and can take advantage of a
wide variety of upgrades.

Bolt Action and Sniper Rifles

In military and law enforcement terminology, a sniper rifle is a precision rifle used to ensure more accurate placement of bullets at
longer ranges than other small arms.
Bolt action rifles and sniper rifles, because of their use, will almost always use a scope of high magnification (at least x3),and a
bipod. Accessories such as lasers, custom built stocks, and modified barrels are often built in as well, to achieve the best possible shot.

Modern Anti-Materiel Rifles

An Anti-materiel rifle is a rifle designed to destroy hard targets, such as equipment, vehicles, and weapons, rather than at other
combatants.
Bipods are mandatory, and various telescopic sights, tactical slings, patrol slings, and ergonomic stocks are all suitable for
anti-materiel rifles.

Shotguns
“Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so
on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon.” —Terry
Pratchett
A shotgun (also known as a scattergun and peppergun, or historically as a fowling piece) is a firearm that is usually designed to
be fired from the shoulder, which uses the energy of a fixed shell to fire a number of small spherical pellets called shot, or a solid
projectile called a slug.

Modern Sporting Shotguns

A sporting shotgun is a shotgun that focuses on accuracy, rather than ammo capacity. Sporting shotguns are simple to maintain,
use, and clean. Most sporting shotguns are aimed at a particular sport, usually game hunting, for rifled barrels using slugs, or for
fowl and clay shooting, with choked barrels. Sporting shotguns usually have lower capacities than their combat counterparts, but also
less expensive, as they don’t have to take the daily beatings of a combat shotgun, and thus don’t need to be over engineered as such.

Modern Combat Shotguns

A combat shotgun is a shotgun that focuses on close quarters combat and capacity, rather than precision. Combat shotguns
typically have much shorter barrels than shotguns for hunting and usually, though not always, have magazines of modified design to
hold more than the 3 to 5 shots normal with sporting or hunting shotguns. Most combat shotguns have tubular magazines to hold the
cartridges, mounted underneath the barrel, identical to those of hunting shotguns except for being longer to hold more ammunition,
though some recent designs have detachable box magazines. Because of these, combat shotguns can tend to be more expensive
than their sporting counterparts.

Machine Guns
“No matter how many people you kill, using a machine gun in battle is not a war crime because it does not cause
unnecessary suffering; it simply performs its job horrifyingly well.” —Sebastian Junger
A machine gun is a fully automatic mounted or portable firearm, usually designed to fire rounds in quick succession from an
ammunition belt or large-capacity magazine, typically at a rate of several hundred rounds per minute.
Machine guns that used linked ammunition can sometimes equip ammo boxes to hold the rounds.

Modern Light Machine Guns

A light machine gun is a machine gun designed to be employed by an individual soldier, with or without an assistant, as an infantry
support weapon. Light machine guns are often used as squad automatic weapons. They often use belts of linked ammunition, instead
of loose rounds or magazines.
Modern light machine guns often fire smaller-caliber cartridges than medium machine guns, and are usually lighter and more
compact.

Modern General Purpose Machine Guns

A general purpose machine gun is a machine gun normally used as a vehicle mounted suppression gun, used for fire suppression
through armor and cover, though they can be used as a standalone weapon. General purpose machine guns require the General
Purpose Machine Gunner feat in order to be used without a −4 attack penalty. Bipods and tactical slings or patrol slings are often
used with general purpose machine guns.

Grenade Launchers, Rocket Launchers, and Mortars

“A bullet may have your name on it, but a grenade is labeled ’To whom it may concern’ ” —U.S. Military mantra
A grenade launcher or grenade discharger is a weapon that launches a grenade with more accuracy, higher velocity, and to
greater distances than a soldier could throw it by hand. Grenade launchers can either come in the form of standalone weapons
(either single-shot or repeating) or attachments mounted under the barrel of a rifle, as well as fire rifle grenades using blanks.
A rocket launcher is any device that launches a rocket-propelled projectile. All rocket launchers when fired, create a 10’ cone
directly behind them that deals 4d6 fire damage to anyone standing in it.
A mortar is an indirect fire weapon that fires explosive projectiles known as mortar bombs at low velocities, short ranges, and
high-arcing ballistic trajectories.

Modern Underbarrel Grenade Launchers

An under-barrel grenade launcher is a grenade launcher that attaches to a tactical rail under a rifle. It can not be used without
being attached. Underbarrel grenade launchers require the Explosive Weapons Proficiency feat in order to be used without a –4
attack penalty.

Modern Rifle Grenades

A rifle grenade is a grenade that is attached to a rifle grenade adapter on a rifle, and is fired using a blank round. It can not be
used without being attached, and is reloaded onto the barrel of the adapter prior to firing. While attached, if the user fires any other
ammunition through the rifle besides a blank round while the rifle grenade is attached, the grenade immediately explodes, damaging
all objects and creatures within it’s blast radius. Rifle grenades require the Exotic Firearms Proficiency feat in order to be used without
a −4 attack penalty. A rifle grenade can be used on any rifle with a rifle grenade adapter. All listed rifle grenades have a blast radius
of 15’, and immediately explode upon striking any surface when fired. Any target caught in the blast must make a Fortitude Saving
Throw [TN20] or be knocked prone. Rifle grenades are limited to 5 range increments.

Gunsmithing
A gunsmith is a person who repairs, modifies, designs, or builds firearms. This occupation is different from an armorer. The armorer
primarily maintains (disassembly, cleaning) weapons and performs limited repairs involving parts replacement and possibly work
involving accurization. A gunsmith does factory level repairs, renovation (such as applying metal finishes), and makes modifications
and alterations for special uses. Gunsmiths may also apply carvings, engravings, and other decorative features to an otherwise
finished gun. Gunsmithing falls under Craft (Mechanical), and all the rolls and TNs are for that skill.

Crafting a brand new firearm When crafting a new firearm, a character must first pick what current category the firearm would
fit into, or the best case that the firearm would fit into. Aspects such as caliber, magazine size, feed type, barrel length and range, and
size, can all play into this.
When crafting a firearm, a character must meet the minimum requirements for each category.
A firearm may use preexisting magazines for no increase to the TN, but the firearm must use the same caliber of ammunition that
the corresponding magazine and firearm uses.
The GM decides, based on the firearm the players want to craft, what the size and weight of it would be.
Crafting any firearm has a base TN of 5, with an error range of 40% and cost equal to the total TN. For every 3 points the Craft
check beats the DC by, the error range is reduced by 5%.

Holdout Handguns
Holdout handguns are generally no bigger than Small sized, with a +2 bonus to Stealth. Most holdout handguns use small, weak
calibers, such as .22 Long Rifle and .25 ACP. These typically use removable magazines, while larger calibers, such as 9x19mm and .45
ACP are typically single or double shot weapons. They can be either revolvers, or semi-automatic pistols. Because of their size, they
usually use either Single Action, or Double Action Only. Because of their size and barrel length, they rarely get past 25 feet per range
increment.

Backup Handguns
Backup Handguns are between Small sized with a +3 bonus to Stealth, to small sized. Backup handguns, being larger, have a more
choices for calibers, using the same calibers that full-sized handguns use, such as .38 Special, 9x19mm, and .40 S&W., though at a
diminished capacity. They can also be revolvers or semi-automatic pistols, using a number of actions such as Double Action Only,
Double Action/Single Action, and Double Action, as well as Preset Action. Their range increment is usually between 25 and 30 feet.

Full-Sized Handguns
Full-sized handguns are usually Small size. They take your typical handgun cartridges, such as .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and .45
ACP, usually at their full capacity. They sometimes share magazines with their backup handgun counterparts. Because size is not a
real factor, any action can be used, but Double Action/Single Action, Double Action, and Preset Actions are most common. Their
range increment are usually between 30 and 35 feet, but having longer ranges is not unheard of.

Target and Hunting Handguns

Target Handguns can be anywhere from Small to Medium sized, and can span a wide variety of cartridges, all the way from .22 Long
Rifle, up to rifle cartridges such as the 5.56x45mm. Hunting handguns are generally larger caliber, usually calibers such as the .44
Magnum and .50 Action Express. Ranges are usually from 30 feet all the way up to 50 feet.

Machine Pistols
Machine Pistols are usually Small to Medium sized, and are generally chambered in calibers that full-sized handguns are chambered
in. A few share magazines with their full-sized handgun counterparts, but this is rare. Machine pistols generally have an automatic
fire, but that’s hardly a requirement. They do, however, have large magazines. They also tend to have removable stocks, or vertical
foregrips, to control their automatic fire. They are generally fired in closed bolt position. Ranges generally span the same as full-sized
handguns, but they are considered a scale of firepower, because of their automatic rate of fire. When crafting a weapon with
automatic fire, the creator can choose what rate of fire the automatic fires at.

Carbines
Carbine rifles are almost always Large, chambered in intermediate rifle cartridges, such as 5.56x45mm, or full power rifle cartridges
such as 7.62x51mm, with magazines ranging from 10 to 35 rounds. There also exists a subsection called the pistol caliber carbine,
which shoots pistol caliber rounds, such as the 9x19mm, and is always semi-automatic, as a fully automatic pistol carbine is a
sub-machine gun. All carbine rifles are crafted with a fixed stock. When crafting a weapon with automatic fire, the creator can choose

Assault, Battle, and Target Rifles

Assault rifles are Large firearms, chambered in intermediate rifle cartridges such as 5.56x45mm or 7.62x39mm, that have an
automatic rate of fire and a stock. Battle rifles are Large weapons chambered in a full power rifle cartridge, such as the 7.62x51mm,
that have an automatic rate of fire, and a stock. Target rifles fall into both of these categories, but lack the automatic firepower.
Ranges are conclusive to rifles, spanning from 65-110’. All assault, battle, and target rifles are crafted with a fixed stock. When crafting
a weapon with automatic fire, the creator can choose what rate of fire the automatic fires at.

Suppressor (None) A suppressor is a device attached to or

part of the barrel of a firearm to reduce the amount of noise
and flash generated by firing the weapon. The barrel must be
threaded in order to use the suppressor. When the suppressor
is attached, each Perception check made to hear this weapon
firing suffers a −10 penalty. This penalty increases to −15 if low
pressure ammunition is used. Suppressors are rated by how many
damage dice a caliber has, and by any modifications that the
ammunition makes to those dice damage. A suppressor’s level
must meet or exceed the amount of damage dice it is rated for in
order to suppress the firearm successfully. Attaching a suppressor
to a weapon with a restriction rating below Restricted raises its
restriction rating to Restricted, and removing it reduces it back to
the highest restriction rating on the weapon.

Example: A level 2 suppressor can suppress 9x19mm,

which uses 2d6, and .22 Long Rifle, which uses 1d4.

Compensator (Barrel) A compensator is a weighted attach-

ment that helps offset the recoil when firing multiple shots. It
reduces the Caliber Recoil Penalty by 2, but gives a −2 to all Stealth
checks made to hide the firearm. If a firearm has a compensator,
it may not be threaded or ported. Only handguns and machine
pistols may use this upgrade.

threaded for different types of chokes, allowing a character to
change the type of spread by changing out the choke tubes. The

choosing a spot within the battlefield, a sniper will sit off-grid, at
a specified distance from the battlefield, usually at a high vantage
point if possible. For the purpose of ranging shots, a token will be
placed on the corner of the battle map that represents the sniper’s
location, from that distance. Any shots taken by the sniper will be
calculated from that spot, adding the distance the sniper is away

Bolt Action Bolt action is a type of firearm action in which

the weapon’s bolt is operated manually by the opening and closing
of the breech (barrel) with a small handle, most commonly placed
on the right-hand side of the weapon. As the handle is operated,
the bolt is unlocked, the breech is opened, the spent cartridge
case is withdrawn and ejected, the firing pin is cocked (this occurs
either on the opening or closing of the bolt, depending on design),
and finally a new round/cartridge is placed into the breech and
the bolt closed. Bolt action firearms are most often rifles, but there
are some bolt action shotguns as well. Examples of this system
date as far back as the early 19th century, notably in the Dreyse
needle gun. From the late 19th century, all the way through both
World Wars, the bolt action rifle was the standard infantry firearm
for most of the world’s militaries.
In military and law enforcement use, the bolt action has been
mostly replaced by semi-automatic and selective fire weapons,
though the bolt action remains the dominant design in sniper rifles.
Bolt action firearms are still very popular for hunting and target
shooting. Compared to most other manually operated firearm
actions, it offers an excellent balance of strength (allowing powerful
chamberings), ruggedness, reliability, and potential accuracy, all
with light weight and low cost. The major disadvantage is a
marginally lower practical rate of fire than other manual repeating
firearms, such as lever action and pump action, and a far lower
practical rate of fire than semi-automatic weapons, but this is not
an important factor in many types of hunting and target shooting.

Grenade Launchers, Rocket Launchers, and Mor-

tars
A grenade launcher or grenade discharger is a weapon that
launches a grenade with more accuracy, higher velocity, and to
greater distances than a soldier could throw it by hand. Grenade
launchers can either come in the form of standalone weapons
(either single-shot or repeating) or attachments mounted under
the barrel of a rifle. Some rifles have been designed to fire rifle
grenades, either from their muzzle or from a detachable muzzle-
mounted launcher.
Most grenade launchers are man-portable, shoulder-fired
weapons issued on a squad level, though larger launchers are
sometimes mounted on armored vehicles. The most common
grenade round in use by modern militaries is the 40 mm
fragmentation grenade, which is effective against a wide range of
targets including infantry and lightly armored vehicles. The ability
of the grenade launcher to loft payloads in a high arc has resulted
in many specialty grenades such as less-lethal sponge grenades.
A rocket launcher is any device that launches a rocket-
propelled projectile, although the term is often used in reference to
mechanisms that are portable and capable of being operated by
an individual. Weapon systems that fall into this category include
the shoulder-launched missile weapon, the wider international
term for any weapon that fires a rocket-propelled projectile at a
target, yet is small enough to be carried by a single person, and
fired while held on one’s shoulder. However, the term bazooka, is
also often used for any shoulder-launched rocket weapon.
Specific types of rocket launchers within this group include
the rocket-propelled grenade, better known as the RPG, which
is a type of shoulder-launched anti-tank weapon designed by
the Soviet Union; the anti-tank guided missile, a guided missile
primarily designed to hit and destroy heavily-armored tanks and
other armored fighting vehicles; and the man-portable air-defense
systems, which provides shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles.
A mortar is an indirect fire weapon that fires explosive
projectiles known as mortar bombs at low velocities, short ranges,
