Editing Incarnation of the Black Goat: Weapons (section)

== '''Weapon Characteristics''' ==

These are standardized weapon rules and options for this Fate of Cthulhu setting. 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. 

'''Power'''
*Light: -1 shift to Stress/Consequences
*Standard: 0 shift to Stress/Consequences
*High Power: +1 shift to Stress/Consequences
*Heavy: +2 shift to Stress/Consequences

'''Format'''
*Compact: +1 to Stealth tests, +2 to create surprise
*Sidearm: 1 zone range
*Short arm: 2 zones range
*Long arm: 3 zones range, -1 in same zone
*Sniper: 4 zones range, -1 in same zone
*Mounted: 4 zones range, -1 in same zone

'''Modes'''
*Single shot: 1 target per round
*Burst: 1 target per round, 1 die maximized; divide shifts between 2 adjacent targets; ammo rate x 3
*Full auto: multiple targets per round; divide shifts between targets in arc; ammo rate x 10
*Scattershot: 1 die maximized, same shifts to all adjacent targets, -1 zone range

'''Ammo'''

Ammo capacity is provided for players and GMs who want to get very exact about this point. However, after 5 successive rounds of burst fire or full auto/suppressive fire, GMs or players can always compel the Out of Ammo aspect, taking 1 round to reload unless bought off with a Fate point.

'''Stunts'''
*Sniperscope: +2 to Attack after 1 round wait to line up; range 1 extra zone
*Penetrative: -1 to target armour
*Suppressive fire: successful CA creates barrier to movement in zone/s in front; number of shifts = Difficulty vs Athletics
*Stunning: attacks stun only
*Flame: success with style ignites target; suppressive fire


'''Mods'''

Weapons can be modded, for additional Stunts or other advantages, by the right Crafts or Engineering roll.
