Ranged

Ranged governs the minor skills: Archery, Thrown Weapons, Machine Weapons, Perception.

Every point in Ranged will grant additional combat technique slots. At level 1, you will gain 3 combat technique slots. Each subsequent level grants two more. The slots gained must be used for techniques that are unlocked at or below that level in Ranged.

Attacks are their own attack.

Modifiers apply to existing attacks.

Stances will give semi-permanent effects to the character.

Counter attacks will replace a free counter used following a successful parry.

Manoeuvres are generally based on your movement. They are their own action, but aren't classified as attacks as modifiers cannot be applied to the.

3	Suppressive Fire	Attack	Fire a series of very quick but inaccurate shots, forcing enemies in a 15ft area (circle) to take cover or take damage. The attack can be dodged by retreating into cover or by falling prone. The dodge is a guaranteed success, but still costs the normal amount of AP to do. The enemies can choose not to dodge and take your basic attack damage, instead.	Automatically loading machine weapon	15
