Chapter 8: Skills
Aim
This skill applies individually to different projectile
missile weapons. Note that this skill is distinct
from the Hurling skill; Aim is only concerned
with projectile weapons such as bows, crossbows,
slings, or any weapon that projects the missile for
the wielder. For each missile weapon in which 5 SP
have been invested, a weapon may be used in combat
without penalty.
LC: Every distanced combat in which this
missile weapon is used, though no more than 1 combat
per day, lessens the LC by 5.
Check: Roll to determine the body part attacked.
Roll 3d10 and apply the average of the modifiers
from their Hand-Eye Coordination sub-ability
and Vision. A skill check with a missile weapon generally
means that it is being projected at a foe. For
those who have never before used this missile
weapon in combat or trained with it, there is a penalty
of - 13 on the skill check.
The base TH is the foe’s CA, usually CAS
(Current Armor against Stabbing). Now, consider
that each weapon has modifiers to hit certain types
of armors; these modifiers affect the skill check. Further,
every 2 SP invested or accumulated with a Specific
Weapon beyond the first 5 will improve the
skill check by 1. This skill does not increase damage.
Ambidexterity
This rare skill must be purchased initially
upon character creation, or it may never be acquired
in the future. To possess the skill of Ambidexterity
means that the character is not left-handed or righthanded,
but able to equally use both hands. Most
often, this skill is applied to Brawling or weapons.
Each combat round, an ambidextrous character must
pass a TH 80 to be able to gain an additional 1/2
their number of attacks. Obviously, this may only
be done with 1-handed weapons, and the wielder
of 2 weapons may not use a shield or even a buckler.
Check: While 5 SP must be invested in the
beginning to be able to have and use this skill, there
is no skill check.
