Marksmanship Actions

Shoot

You fire a loaded projectile weapon at a target within range. Make a Marksmanship skill check, and add any applicable specialties.

Success: The target takes damage according to the weapon's damage rating and type.
Critical Success: Critical Hit. The target takes twice the usual amount of damage.
Failure: You miss, but you don't hit anything else.
Critical Failure: You hit something unintended, such as a teammate standing behind the target.

Throw (Accuracy)

You throw a item with the primary goal of hitting a target 4x4 feet or smaller. Make an Accurate Throw (Marksmanship) check to throw a small item up to a distance of your Strength score times 3 feet. To throw farther than this, or if the object has weight, then add your Strength modifier.

The difficulty is set by the GM based on the target's size, distance, the item's weight, and environmental circumstances.

Success: Your aim is true. Creatures near the area where the item lands may attempt to catch the item as a reaction, using the result of your Marksmanship check as the difficulty.
Critical Success: Critical Hit. If the thrown item would deal damage, it deals double that damage.
Failure: You miss, but you don't hit anything else.
Critical Failure: You hit something unintended, such as a teammate near the target, or you drop the item.

Catch

Using your hand-eye coordination, you attempt to catch a projectile headed your way. Make a Catch (Marksmanship) check. You may move up to your Speed towards the area where the item lands.

If the item was thrown by a creature, the result of their Throw check becomes the difficulty to catch it. Otherwise, the GM sets the difficulty based on the size of the object, the speed it's travelling, and environmental conditions.

Success: You catch the object.
Failure: You almost catch the object, but fumble and drop it. If the item was thrown as an attack, this counts as a hit.
Critical Failure: The object sails through your outstretched hands and hits you squarely in the face or chest. If the thrown item would deal damage, it deals double that damage.
