Shoot Schticks
These are mundane schticks related to the Shoot skill, included for completeness.
Shoot schticks are made for use with ranged weapons. Any mention of particular types of ranged weapons in schtick descriptions, such as guns or bows, is flavor.
Artist's Cross-hairs
Inherent
You are not only an expert shootist, you are an artistic one. You can express moods and convey messages through your shots—generally negative ones. This works with both weapons and image recording devices. You can use Shoot as if it was the Charm or Impress skills, but the effect is not immediate, the result of the shot must be inspected for this to become evident. Besides psychotic slayers, this skill is also highly useful to photographers, Photography stunts are routine to you and the photographs you take can use the Charm and Impress effects above—such Shoot checks are not routine.
Bag Full of Guns
Inherent Weapon
You are carrying way more firearms than sensibly possible. This involves some kind of pack; a violin case, large suitcase, duffer bag, instrument case, bulky trench coat, or a sexy fanny pack are all typical examples.
Any gun you could reasonably have had access too and one of which could fit in the bag is in the bag, even tough it is clearly impossible for them all to fit in there at once. Restricted, futuristic, or military weapons are only in the bag if they make a reasonable part of the story. Weapons not found there in a contemporary civilian setting include flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and lasers.
Both Guns Blazing
Trigger Action (Combo)
When using two ranged weapons, one in each hand, you can follow up each Normal Ranged Attack you use to attack with a ranged weapon with a Normal Ranged Attack from your second weapon on the same or a different target.
Carnival of Carnage
Trigger Action
Whenever an unnamed character is about to make an attack while in your sight, you may use Carnival of Carnage to shoot him.
Clean Shot
Basic Action
You can make clean, damaging shots even with light weapons. If Clean Shot hits and the attack roll was greater than the target's Toughness (or whatever soak attribute is relevant for the attack you are using), it inflicts a Hit. If your damage is more effective than this, use that instead.
Cock
Stance, then Trigger Action
Start this stance by dramatically working the action of a weapon. This produces a dramatic sound, a 'click', 'ka-chak', the sound of a bow being drawn, the warm-up whine of energy weapon or the sizzling runes of a magic spell. You can do this in a surprise round, but not before a fight.
You can now shoot once as a trigger action as a response to any hostile action. Thus, you kind of "save up" an attack for later use. Firing the readied weapon in any manner or for any reason cancels the schtick.
In later rounds you can start this stance again. You cannot restart it in a round in which you used it.
Cool Steel
Basic Action
Draw a cool, fresh gun you have not used in this fight. The weapon can be one you carry or you can pick it up. The next Shoot attack with this weapon this round gets a +3 bonus. You can do other actions in between drawing this weapon and getting the attack bonus, but any firing the weapon ends the bonus.
Dramatic Reload
| Bullets | Bonus |
| 1-2 | +3 |
| 3-6 | +2 |
| 7+ | +1 |
| More | No bonus; can be used to refill your magazines after an earlier Dramatic Reload, but not if you ran out of bullets. |
Basic Action
Reload your gun dramatically and deliberately. Depending on how many bullets you reload, you get a bonus to your Shoot attacks until your bullets run out, after which you cannot shoot any more with this weapon until you use this schtick again. All these effects end at the end of the round. You can Reload as a part of a Dramatic Reload, but weapons with the Reload quality can only hold one bullet.
"Bullets" in this case refer to the number of actions you can use to attack, not strictly to individual bullets. Automatic weapons normally fire more than one bullet with each action, but the language of this schtick ignores this.
Eagle Eye
Basic Action
You're particularly adept at firing at armored opponents and hitting the teeny-tiny bits of them that aren't armored. Your Shoot attacks that would normally be soaked by Toughness are instead soaked by Body.
This schtick never works with any kind of area attack, not does it work when attacking objects.
Fast Draw
Inherent
For the first round of any fight, your Initiative is a Closed Confident roll. Your first Basic Action for the round must involve Shoot or you lose 3 shots instead of taking that action.
Fields of Fire
Focus
When you are in combat, but at least 15 meters from the closest enemy, you can focus.
First Salvo
Inherent
Whenever you manage to score surprise, you can perform a Limit Break instead of the normal Basic Action, but the only skill you can use this with is Shoot.
Great Balls of Fire
Limit Break
There is always something in an urban combat scene that is ready to explode. You shot, and it blows up - taking everyone nearby with it. You cause an explosion that attacks everyone in a globe with a diameter equal to your Mind attribute in meters.
Damage is Body +2 impact damage.
Away from a high-tech urban setting, this schtick only works as the GM allows.
Gunnery
Inherent
You can use heavy guns and other artillery with full effect.
People lacking training with such weapons can generally still fire them. They cannot reload or use or take more advanced shots, such as indirect fire. On a snake eyes result the weapon misfires.
Gunsmith
Limit Break
You love to tinker with your guns, selecting ammunition for each target and otherwise using your gear to best effect. This adds +3 to the damage value of your gun against a specific type of target. Examples include unarmored people, people in a particular type of armor, or a particular type of monster. The benefit lasts until you use this schtick again to load a different kind of ammo or the end of the session. This schtick is often used before the action to face an expected enemy.
You are also an expert at making bullets out of unorthodox materials. If you learn what a certain target is vulnerable to, you can quickly make bullets out of that material or using that weakness if you have the materials at hand.
Hail of Bullets
Inherent
You can use fanning, simultaneous multiple arrows on the string, or some other rapid-fire technique to shot a regular weapon as if it was an auto-fire weapon. A ranged weapon in your hands adds +2 damage and gains the Area and Rash abilities.
If you are using a a Reload or Slow weapon, you do not gain the abilities listed above, but can ignore these flaws.
Hold!
Focusing
If you spend a Basic Action Shooting but not moving, you can focus.
Mercykiller
Finisher
You can decide how bad you want to hurt your target, choosing whether to inflict a Mortal Wound, a regular Regular Setback and what kind, or no special effect when you put them down.
Named Bullet
Limit Break
Narrate a brief flashback where you dedicate a specific piece of ammunition against a specific target. You must have known the target at the flashback point. Make an attack against a single target that is a Confident Roll with a +3 bonus to Shoot. Target cannot use Powers to resist this damage.
Piercing Shot
Trigger Action (Combo)
You can over-penetrate and hit two targets with the same shot, attacking a second target along the path of your bullet. Use this any time you inflict damage with a ranged attack. The extra target can stand either in front of or behind your first target. Hitting a target in front as a second target might seem odd, but the main thing is that you were concentrating on someone else and the second target is just a bonus.
Pinning Fire
Trigger Action
When you use Covering Fire the difficulty of your opponent's action is your Shoot +3. You can force a moving target to do a Free Running stunt.
Signature Mods
Inherent
You fiddle with your ranged weapons, coaxing new abilities out of them. Choose one of the following weapon abilities when you take this schtick. You can pick this schtick several times to apply multiple benefits. Any ranged weapon you use that you have had a chance to work on overnight or longer get these weapon techniques. Some have prerequisites, that can be satisfied either in the weapon itself, or because you already have a Signature Mod for that ability.
- Area
- Dual Damage and a +2 damage bonus.
- Penetrating
- Rash and a +2 damage bonus.
- Saturation - Only works on a weapon with Scatter
- Scatter
- Stun
- Increase Range by one category]]
- Change the damage type to another damage type you can convince the GM to allow.
As an option, you can instead remove one for the following weapon abilities. You can remove limiting weapon abilities gained from Signature Mods through additional Signature Mods.
Signature Gun
Inherent
Select one specific gun, like grandma's shotgun or one you brought home from the war. Your fate is linked to this gun.
- Even a light signature gun is dangerous in your hands. Increase the weapon's damage to Body +4 if it is less than this.
- You can own and operate this gun legally even if it would normally be beyond your means, illegal, or require some special license. People tend to not question your right to take it along; unless the GM makes a montage of how it is taken, the gun stays with you. It can also pop up in the unlikeliest places seemingly on its own.
- It is harder to steal or disarm you of this gun. You are Confident on any stunt to hide or interaction check to keep the weapon. When others try stunts to disable or make you lose your gun, they are Stymied. Even if it is stolen, it always crops up later — it is never permanently lost.
- The gun is tougher than normal, having a minimum Toughness score equal to your Shoot. Even when seemingly destroyed, the gun can always be repaired.
- Finally, the gun becomes infused with your essence. It is considered a supernatural or magical gun in situations where this matters.
Slow Mo’ Vengeance
Trigger Action
Even as the bullets strike your body, you heedlessly keep going, putting every ounce of power into your gun.
Each time you take a Hit, you can use Slow Mo’ Vengeance to make a normal ranged attack as a Trigger Action.
Sniper
Basic Action
You can make a ranged attack and still Sneak as if you had not attacked, as long as you do not move, remain in cover and are at least 20 meters from all opponents. You ignore all range penalties out to the effective range of the weapon - typically five range increments or more.
Steady Fire
Basic Action
Make a Shoot attack with a +2 bonus. You cannot move as a part of this action. Until your next shot comes up or the end of the round, you cannot take a Trigger Action.
Trick Shot
Basic Action
You are good at hitting small targets and precise locations. Think of this as a kind of limited telekinesis; if a task can be accomplished with a push or knock in the right direction, you can do the task as a gun stunt. Pushing buttons, switching levers, cutting ropes, cutting that trigger wire that disarms the bomb or sending messages by punching them out with bullets in plaster; all are simple tasks for you. Tasks requiring complex manipulation (unscrewing the lid on a barrel) takes you multiple actions and some such actions might be impossible.
You suffer no negative modifiers for stunts that require you to shoot at very small targets; you can shoot a pistol out of the hands of a gunman, or a thrown knife zipping through the air, for example. Whenever the difficulty of the shot is determined by the small size of the target, halve the difficulty.
Like the Environment Interaction stunt, you can combine Trick Shot with other actions, such as an Interaction Stunt, with no additional shot cost. When you use Covering Fire to deflect the attack of a weapon that fires a missile larger than a bullet, such as an arrow or thrown knife, you get to decide where that weapon ricochets to.
Walking Fire
Trigger Action (Combo)
You can "walk" fire from one target to the next, attacking several adjacent targets one after the other.
Pick the closest target within two meters of a target you just fired on and attack the new target with a Normal Ranged Attack. You can continue to use walking fire as long as there are targets. This is an exception to the rule that a trigger action cannot trigger another trigger action. You can do this several times in succession as long as you do not attack any target twice. Walking Fire is prone to friendly fire. If an ally or bystander is adjacent to your target you hit that friend or bystander on a Snakeyes roll, make a confident roll, this becomes the Outcome of an attack against your ally.
Weapon Implement
Inherent
Particularily at high levels of technology, the best tool to focus magic is often a modified firearm.
A Ranged weapon with this ability also works as an Implement. An implement is mainly useful for Shoot powers, but works with other powers that allow the use of Implements. The wielder gains all the weapon's abilities, including damage add, range, and other weapon abilities.
Blast Powers
These are powers related to the Shoot skill.
Blast uses the various forms to attack. In often incorporates elements of the move, transmute, or even summon techniques, but the effects are transitory and focused on combat. It generally does not involve any spiritual manifestations, focusing on using the form directly.
Blast Air
Belomancy
Limit Break
As a preparation for using this power, you prepare a number of arrows, writing a possible answer to a question on each arrow. You must also add at least one blank arrow to the mix. When using this power, you ask a question and draw an arrow; it the power was successful, the arrow with the most relevant and correct answer will be drawn. If none of the answers were relevant or correct, you will draw a blank arrow.
Belomancy can only answer questions about things you will encounter within the next six hours, and can only give out information you would automatically notice during such encounters. Typical questions include "Which way to the dragon" or "what monster will I meet behind this door". Deeply analytical questions, such as "Who killed the duke", "what is the nature of life" or "should I get married" always draw a blank.
The difficulty of the check is either 5 + the number of arrows in the quiver, or the Shoot of whoever the divination is directed against. As an alternative, a single arrow can be tossed in the air, if it is a direction you want. This has a minimum difficulty of 10.
Cutting Wind
Inherent
You can make a Ranged Attack - either the basic stunt or using some other stunt, schtick, or power. Damage is Mind +2, or more if you are using an Implement to improve damage. Cutting Wind does cutting damage and tosses the target about. Targets are pushed one meter away from you for each point the damage result exceeds the soak value, and a flier is also moved the same distance downwards.
Gust of Wind
Basic Action
You blast everyone in a cone; a triangle with you at one corner. You can control the exact dimensions of the cone when you create it, with some limitations. The base of the triangle can be as wide as your Mind and both the other sides have the same length and can be as long as your Shoot. All measurements are in meters. Damage is Mind +2, or more if you are using an Implement. Make a separate attack roll against each target, including friends and bystanders. Gust of Wind does Blunt damage, but causes no Hits. Instead, targets are pushed one meter away from you for each point the damage result exceeds the soak value, and a flier is also moved the same distance downwards. Gust of wind can also rearrange the battlefield. Flames are extinguished and sand or open liquids blown into a spray. Furniture and vehicles are tossed about and shoddy constructions might collapse.
Poison Cloud
Limit Break
You create a cloud of toxic air in a diameter equal to your Mind. The cloud is impenetrable to most senses, giving a penalty of -1 per meter of foul air in between. The cloud lasts for a scene unless dispelled or dispersed by strong wind. It is heavier than air, and will sink into lower-lying areas. You can move it your Mind meters as a Basic Action. Without spending an action you can make a Shoot attack any living, breathing creature who spent any time during his current action (including trigger actions) in the cloud. The cloud does Neurotoxin damage but has no damage value. Per the rules for Neurotoxin damage, if the attack roll of the attack exceeds both the target's effective Dodge and his Toughness, he takes one Hit.
Whirlwind
Limit Break
You can blast all enemies in a globe with a diameter equal to your Mind; you must be somewhere in this area. Your control of this attack is so precise that you can avoid any friends in the area. Damage is Mind +2, or more if you are using an Implement to improve damage. Make a separate attack roll against each target. The target can use Body as Dodge if Body is higher. Whirlwind pulls objects and creatures (including fliers) into the air, then lets them fall down again in a random spot within the area. It does concussion damage soaked by Reflexes. Objects are not damaged directly, but might be blown about and will suffer falling damage if they are not anchored. Flames are extinguished and open liquids blown into a spray.
Wind Burst
Inherent
You can make a Ranged Attack - either the basic stunt or using some other stunt, schtick, or power. Damage is Mind +2, or more if you are using an Implement to improve damage. The target can use Body as Dodge if Body is higher. Strong winds twists the target and buffets it in all directions at once. Wind Burst does Concussion damage soaked by Reflexes. After the attack all enemies are pushed back on meter per Hit taken.
Blast Earth
Calcify
Inherent
You can make a Ranged Attack - either the basic stunt or using some other stunt, schtick, or power. Damage is Mind +2, or more if you are using an Implement to improve damage. This is Neurotoxin damage soaked with Body.
You gradually turn the target and his gear to stone or encase them in stone. For each Hit you inflict, the target loses one point of Reflexes and one shot from his shot counter, but gains one point of Toughness. If the target's Reflexes are reduced to zero, he is petrified and helpless, this is a Curse. Lesser transformations and Reflex losses reverse themselves as the Hits are recovered.
Earth Javelin
Inherent
You can make a Ranged Attack - either the basic stunt or using some other stunt, schtick, or power. Damage is Body +2, or more if you are using an Implement to improve damage. You create and hurl a stone spear, which does physical damage of the blunt subtype.
Earthbind
Basic Action
You use this to prevent a creature from using special movement modes, such as flight, swimming, wall walking, burrowing and the like. All it can do is move along the ground (or sea bottom). Make a Shoot check against Dodge, on a success the special movement mode is negated for the rest of the round. On an outcome matching the target's Reflexes the special movement is negated for the rest of the scene. A creature that would be stuck in a dangerous position due to this maneuver can still move to safety, but can perform no Basic Actions or Limit Breaks until they are safely on the ground.
Hurl Rock
Inherent
You can make a Ranged Attack - either the basic stunt or using some other stunt, schtick, or power. Damage is Mind +2, or more if you are using an Implement to improve damage. You create and shoot a clump of rock with great force, which does physical damage of the blunt subtype. The missile is so massive that it cannot be Deflected. A flying target descends your Shoot meters and if it hits the ground, it cannot take off again in this round.
Ram
Basic Action
You hit the target with a truly massive ram of earth. This is a ranged attack that hits poorly but does a great deal of Blunt damage when it hits. Use your Mind as the attack skill, damage is your Shoot + Body.
Rockfall
Limit Break
You can blast everyone in a globe with a diameter equal to your Mind in meters. Damage is Mind +2, or more if you are using an Implement. Make a separate attack roll against each target, including friends and bystanders. Rockfall creates large falling rocks that do physical damage of the blunt subtype. A flying target descends your Shoot meters and if it hits the ground, it cannot take off again in this round. The missile is so massive that it cannot be Deflected.
Blast Fire
Fireball
Limit Break
You can blast everyone in a globe with a diameter equal to your Mind in meters. Damage is Mind +2, or more if you are using an Implement. Make a separate attack roll against each target, including friends and bystanders. Fireball does fire damage. This attack can cause nasty, lasting burns to any target that takes damage. Unless the target takes a basic action to put out the burns, it will take one additional hit at the end of the round and the effect ends. A friend can help stop the burn before it inflicts damage, but this requires a First Aid stunt with a difficulty equal to the damage rating of the attack that caused Burn. A creature can only have one burn effect active at a time, even if damaged by several different types of attacks that each cause burn.

The attack is treated as a combination of two damage types. The target can use the soak attribute of the apparent damage, or Mind, whichever is best. For example, an illusory broadsword causes illusory cutting damage. The target can use either Toughness or Mind to resist this damage, whichever is highest. If the target has a resistance or Vulnerability or otherwise reacts differently to the imitated type of damage, these special effects apply. You attack with the illusion of an overpowering attack, giving the impression that only fantastic luck can save the target. Examples include a mountain collapsing on the target or a volcano erupting under their feet. If this attack inflicts a Damage Setback the target suffers a Mortal Wound.

Predict Randomness
Trigger Action
Whenever random chance can affect an outcome, you can use this action to predict the result. Since all die rolls in Action involve chance, this allows you to predict the outcome of most actions, just as they are about to occur. The usefulness of this is debatable, but it does allow you to decide whether to use other Trigger Actions triggered by the event you predicted the outcome for.

- Electricity damage - Shock
- Cold damage - Shock
- Fire damage - Burn
- Acid damage - Burn
- Roll twice, mixing damage types and applying both side effects. If the target has different soak values against the two types of damage, use the lowest one.
Depending on what effect is rolled, this has a different side effect, as noted in the table.
- Armor defeating : Your attack breaks armor. If you inflict a Hit on an opponent whose Toughness is greater than his Body, reduce his Toughness by one for the rest of the scene, but never to a value lower than his Body.
- Burn: This attack can cause nasty, lasting burns to any target that takes damage. Unless the target takes a basic action to put out the burns, it will take one additional hit at the end of the round and the effect ends. A friend can help stop the burn before it inflicts damage, but this requires a First Aid stunt with a difficulty equal to the damage rating of the attack that caused Burn. A creature can only have one burn effect active at a time, even if damaged by several different types of attacks that each cause burn.
- Shock: This attack can cause shock in the target. If any damage is inflicted, the target loses one shot from its current shot for the round.
Different Flux users can have different damage tables. Pick five different forms and put them - and their regular blast side effects or alternate soak rolls - on a table. You need not know these forms, and are not limited to the side effects from the standard table.

Blast Spiritual
Cleromancy
Limit Break
To use this power, you need a set of lots or tokens, each associated with a spiritual entity, creature, or ideal. You also need one blank lot. To use the power, you randomly select one of them. Cleromancy will make you select the lot whose symbol most closely represents your answer. If none of the lots are relevant, a successful Cleromancy will yield the blank lot.
The two most common ways to use this power is to identify a person or group of people who most closely answers the question, or to find under what divinity or spirits influence the answer lies.
Anwulf the norse rune-priests casts the runes to determine the fate of his lost father, putting tokens for Thor, Odin, Heimdal, and Tyr in the jar. The GM knows his father is involved in an intrigue. Anwulf successfully reads the runes and finds that the relevant god is Heimdal. Had Loki been in the lot, this token would have been the most meaningful.
The difficulty of the check is either 5 + the number of lots drawn from, or the Recon of whoever the divination is directed against. whichever is higher. By adding more potential answers to the lot, you can gain more information but the divination becomes correspondingly harder.

He can be tied up without waking up as a limit break, an all opponents are assumed to be Sneaking against him while dozing.

Blast Mind
Feeblemind
Basic Action, Limit Break, or Finisher
Make a roll of Shoot vs. Dodge, on a success the target's Mind suffers a penalty of -1 until the end of the scene. Lowering Mind lowers the number of Fortune that can be spend in a session for a named character, effectively reducing available fortune points. The number of points lost and the duration can be increased by various factors.
- If the attack scores an Outcome matching the target's Mind, the penalty is increased by two.
- If performed as a Limit Break, the penalty is increased by two and it lasts for a day or until cured as an ailment.
- If performed as a Finisher, the penalty is increased by two and the effect is a Curse - and this turns all current Feeblemind results on the target into one big curse.
