Fire Discipline (trick)
There is more to leading a squad into battle than just saying some encouraging words. This ability defines the kind of leader who knows all the enemy’s weaknesses, who can coordinate a team’s fire, and who has a few magazines of "Sergeant Faevern's 'extra spicy' inferno rounds" to pass around.
Activation: (choose a Squad Ammo from your available list),
Action (Combat Mastery (Int) dd), Engaged Range, Single target,
Augment,
Concentration to maintain or further Turns, Quiet,
+2 Strain
+
d to attacks with a ranged weapon. As an Incidental, the character with this Augment may exchange the +
d to add the Quality chosen by the caster or vice-versa. If the caster becomes beyond the Range this ability was cast at, the target loses the ability at the end of their Turn.
Before making a Fire Discipline check, may choose any number of modifier from the table at the end.
