- | ^ EXPLOSIVES | + | Explosives are Dangerous. Any skill check to |
- | | [[..: | + | quickdraw or use explosives that results in doubles |
- | | [[..: | + | detonates it in your square instantly. |

- | | [[..: | + | ===== Grenades ===== |
- | | [[..: | + | |
- | | [[..: | + | Grenades cost 25cr each and have a |
- | | [[..: | + | mass of 1. Frag and Energy grenades |
- | | [[..: | + | deal damage to all in line of sight. |
- | | [[..: | + | Subtract distance from damage. |
- | | [[..: | + | Anybody not in Line of Sight gets |
- | | [[..: | + | a reroll for each corner away they |
- | | [[..: | + | are from the explosion. Roll damage |
- | | [[..: | + | dice for module they detonate in and |
- | | [[..: | + | 1 die for each adjacent module in L.O.S. “6” results |
+ | break the module and cause a point of hull damage. | ||
+ | Nonsentient Bots more than 6 squares away from | ||
+ | the explosion ignore the largest die of damage. Non | ||
+ | damaging grenades generate other effects as listed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Arming Grenades ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A grenade can be armed as an automatic action. It | ||
+ | can also be armed as a free (and automatic) action | ||
+ | when it is thrown. You can arm a grenade to any of the | ||
+ | following circumstances. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^ ARMING | ||
+ | | **Immediate** | ||
+ | | **Short Fuse** | ||
+ | | **Phase Delay** | ||
+ | | **Proximity** | ||
+ | | **Remote** | ||
+ | | **Combination** | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Remote Detonation ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you have a [[..: | ||
+ | crew can detonate explosives you’ve set for remote | ||
+ | detonation with a Science skill check. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The distance is measured in squares for a wristcomp | ||
+ | or hexes for a Science Bay. Add +3 to the difficulty for | ||
+ | each additional remote explosive to detonate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | (First Edition players note. You can no longer hack | ||
+ | explosives armed for remote detonation.) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Throwing Explosives ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Explosives can be dropped in your square or an | ||
+ | adjacent square as a free action. | ||
+ | thrown by making a Combat skill check against 3+ | ||
+ | the distance to the target square. The difficulty to | ||
+ | throw satchel charges is 3+ double the distance to | ||
+ | the target. A failed throw puts the object one square | ||
+ | closer per point of failure. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Intercepting | ||
+ | |||
+ | Any character along the line of sight may take a free | ||
+ | attack on the grenade to try to bat it, or fall on it. | ||
+ | Characters with “reach” can intercept as if they were in | ||
+ | squares adjacent to themselves. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The difficulty to intercept a rocket powered grenade is | ||
+ | 3 higher. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each character gets only one free attack on a given | ||
+ | grenade. Otherwise, we’d have “grenade-minton”. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Batting Grenades ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The target number to hit a grenade just like any other | ||
+ | piece of personal equipment is 11. Grenades that | ||
+ | are in flight do not give the attacker the -3 difficulty | ||
+ | to the Combat skill check for a stationary target. | ||
+ | Grenades are considered “in flight” for the rest of the | ||
+ | phase they are thrown as they bounce to a stop. If you | ||
+ | hit a grenade roll damage. A damage die result of “6” | ||
+ | destroys it with no other effect. If the grenade is not | ||
+ | destroyed, it can be batted by the interceptor a 1d6 | ||
+ | squares in a straight direction in Line of Sight. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Falling On Grenades ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You may spend your free attack to fall on a grenade | ||
+ | in or passing through your square with no skill check | ||
+ | needed. You are effectively taking a free action to turn | ||
+ | the grenade into a [[..: | ||
+ | The grenade will deal its effect twice to you (ignore | ||
+ | Damage Reduction) but everything else that would | ||
+ | have been in Line of Sight of the grenade (including | ||
+ | the module) is now considered out of Line of Sight | ||
+ | around 1 corner. | ||
