UNIQUE ABILITIES

LIGHTING
K Perfect Light (no ambient penalties): daytime,
in a direct source of light
K Fleeting Shadows (must flip the results to fail
vision-related Skill Tests; cannot give or gain
the benefits of Assist Dice): dawn, dusk or
clear night skies
K Total Darkness (cannot be targeted unless
Engaged; line of sight is broken): blinding
light, moonless night, pitch-black
OBSCUREMENT
K Light Obscurement (cannot use Extreme
Distances): mist, light rain or light snow
K Medium Obscurement (cannot use Extreme
or Long Distances): fog, heavy rain or heavy
snow
K Heavy Obscurement (cannot use Extreme,
Long or Medium Distances): sleet, smoke or
blizzard
CONE, BURST &
EXPLOSION TEMPLATES
K Cone Template: Extends straight in a 16-
yard line from where you stand, 1 yard wide
at its starting point and 5 yards wide at its
endpoint. You can aim weapons that reference
the Cone Template so that it can be used to hit
foes only. However, you will need to succeed
at an Awareness Test to not harm allies.
K Burst Template: Bursts outward in a circle
with a diameter of 6 yards in all directions.
Select a point of origin within your line of
sight and the Burst then takes effect. A Burst
affects both allies and foes alike. The Historian
will determine who is affected.
K Explosion Template: Explodes outward
in a circle with a diameter of 10 yards in all
directions. Select a point of origin within your
line of sight and the Explosion then takes
effect. An Explosion affects both allies and
foes alike. The Historian will determine who
is affected.
Hard barriers limit areas over which Templates
take effect. However, soft barriers such as bushes,
trees and the like will not. The best rule of thumb
to follow is that if the barrier totally prevents
line of sight, it will limit the area of effect for the
Template, reshaping it to meet the constraints of
the space available. As an example, a duck-foot
pistol can be fired through a crate of bottles, but
not through a wooden palisade.
WEAPON QUALITIES
ACCURATE: This weapon ignores Difficulty Rating
penalties associated with Long and Extreme Distances.
ACID: When dealing Damage, reference [PB] instead
of [CB]. After you deal Damage, the foe does not suffer
standard Injuries. Roll Chaos Dice as you normally
would, but if any land on face ‘6,’ they cannot restore their
Damage or Peril Condition Tracks until using Alkali as
a part of the healing practice. If you miss hitting a foe,
roll 1D6 Chaos Die. On face ‘1–5,’ it bounces harmlessly
elsewhere. On face ‘6,’ it bounces back to hit you.
BACKSLASH: When attacking with this weapon, you
gain an Assist Die.
BLACKPOWDER: With this weapon, your Fury Dice
explode to deal additional Damage on a face ‘1’ or face
‘6.’ You cannot attack with a Blackpowder weapon while
Engaged unless it has the Pistol Quality, nor can you
Load this weapon while mounted, unless it has the
Carbine Quality. Finally, if you roll a Critical Failure
with this weapon, reference both the Critical Failure
effect of the Action In Combat you’re using and the
Misfire table in Article 7: Combat Encounters.
BOMB: This weapon’s Damage and other effects
impact multiple combatants in a Burst Template. If you
miss hitting a foe, roll 1D6 Chaos Die. On face ‘1–5,’
it bounces harmlessly elsewhere. On face ‘6,’ it bounces
back to hit you.

against melee weapons, add +10% Base Chance.

It is otherwise treated as a magical improvised weapon.
IMMOLATE: After you deal Damage with this weapon,
it is extinguished but the foe does not suffer standard

Long or Extreme Distances.

with this weapon, you must reload it outside of combat
with a gunsmith’s air pump.
POWERFUL: After you deal Damage, at your option,
automatically shove a foe away from you 1 yard. Their
movement does not provoke Counterattacks
PUMMELING: This weapon can only inflict Moderate
Injuries, and never causes a foe to Bleed. When dealing
Damage, reference [BB] instead of [CB].
PUNISHING: When dealing Damage with this
weapon, optionally spend 1 AP to roll an additional
1D6 Fury Die.
REACH: When a foe Charges or Runs to Engage or
disengage with you, make a Counterattack with this
weapon.

of times equal to the value in parenthesis (e.g., 3) before
needing to be Loaded again. Spend 2 AP to Load one
ammunition.
RUINED: This weapon suffers -3 to Total Damage
until repaired. Repair costs 25% of retail value. If this
weapon is already Ruined and is once again Ruined, it is
destroyed instead.

and you successfully hit a foe (but before Damage is
dealt), they must Resist using Resolve or be Disarmed.

Attack Action using this weapon, optionally spend 2 AP
to make a Stealth Test to try hiding again as a Reaction.

you deal Damage against Supernatural foes, they suffer
an equal amount of Peril. Critically Failing to hit with
this weapon destroys the weapon.
SLOW: Foes gain a +10% Base Chance to Defend
against attacks you make with this weapon.
SMOKE: As this weapon lands, it emits smoke in
a Burst Template, creating Heavy Obscurement.
Combatants inside cannot take advantage of Medium,
Long or Extreme Distances. Additional modifiers may
be put in place if attackers attempt to hit combatants
inside the smoke. It does not break the line of sight. The
smoke’s effects remain for 1D10+1 minutes unless the
Historian determines heavy wind disperses it after one
minute.
SOCKETED: This weapon is considered an improvised
weapon unless attached to a two-handed weapon with
the Blackpowder Quality. It takes 1 AP to plug the
weapon into the barrel and must be removed before the
weapon can be fired.
STRANGLING: After hitting a foe with this weapon
(but before Damage is dealt), they must Resist using

to use whenever you hit.
