Editing Eclipse Fate: Gravity's Rainbow: Weapons (section)

== Weapon Characteristics ==


These are standardized weapon rules and options. For actual Weapon Types, see the table at the end.
Range signifies range beyond the same zone - so, a sidearm can shoot into the next zone. Guns can shoot one zone beyond their standard range, but at a -4 penalty.

* Light: -1 shift to Stress/Consequences (e.g. holdout pistol)
* Standard: 0 shift to Stress/Consequences (e.g. kinetic pistol, SMG, laser pistol)
* High Power: +1 shift to Stress/Consequences (e.g. assault rifle)
* Heavy: +2 shift to Stress/Consequences (e.g. .particle beam bolter)
* Rail: +2 shift above basic format power, ignore armour
