Qualitäten sind besondere Effekte auf Rüstungen und Waffen, können aber auch bei Zaubersprüchen ausgelöst werden.

Englisch: Reinforced
Weapons or items with the Reinforced quality are immune to the Sunder quality. Armor with the Reinforced quality make the wearer’s soak immune to the Pierce and Breach qualities.

Englisch: Limited Ammo
Some weapons fire particularly large or complex projectiles that cost lots of money. Other weapons are expendable weapons like grenades that, once used, are destroyed. A weapon with the Limited Ammo quality may be used to make a number of attacks equal to its Limited Ammo rating before it must be reloaded with a maneuver. In addition, each shot expends one of a limited number of rounds of ammo; more ammo must be purchased or obtained before anyone fires the weapon again. This also applies to grenades and other “one-use” weapons that have the Limited Ammo 1 quality (here, your character is not “reloading” the grenade, but drawing another to use—mechanically, they are equivalent).

muss aktiviert werden () Englisch: Sunder
When activating Sunder, the attacker chooses one item openly wielded by the target (such as a weapon, shield, or item on a belt). That item is damaged one step: to minor if undamaged, from minor to moderate, or from moderate to major. If an item already suffering major damage is the target of a successful Sunder, it is destroyed. Sunder requires to activate, and may be activated even if the attack is unsuccessful. Sunder may be activated multiple times in the same attack, but each activation must be applied to the same item, potentially taking it from undamaged to destroyed in a single attack.

muss aktiviert werden Englisch: Stun
A weapon with Stun can deal strain to the target. When the Stun quality is activated, it inflicts strain equal to the weapon’s Stun rating. Since this is strain, and not strain damage, it is not reduced by the target’s soak.

Englisch: Stun Damage
A weapon with this quality can only deal strain damage (damage applied to the target’s strain threshold). Because this is strain damage, not strain, it is still reduced by a target’s soak.

Englisch: Vicious
When an attack with this weapon results in a Critical Injury or Hit, the character adds ten times the Vicious rating to the Critical roll. With Vicious 3, for example, you would add +30 to the resulting Critical Injury or Hit result.

muss aktiviert werden
A weapon with Disorient can daze an opponent. When Disorient is triggered, one target hit by the attack is disoriented (see page 114) for a number of rounds equal to the weapon’s Disorient rating. A disoriented target adds to all skill checks they perform. If multiple targets suffer hits from a weapon with Disorient, the quality may be triggered multiple times, affecting a different target each time.

Englisch: Pierce
Any hits from this weapon ignore a number of points point of soak equal to the weapon’s Pierce rating. If the weapon has more ranks of Pierce than the target’s total soak, it completely ignores the target’s soak. For example, Pierce 3 against a soak of 2 ignores two points of soak, but the extra point of Pierce has no further effect.

muss aktiviert werden Englisch: Blast
The weapon has a large spread, an explosive blast, or a similar area of effect, like a detonated grenade or a warhead fired from a missile launcher. If the attack is successful and Blast activates, each character (friend or foe) engaged with the original target suffers a hit dealing damage equal to the Blast quality’s rating, plus damage equal to the total scored on the check.
In a relatively small and enclosed area, the Game Master might decide that everyone in the room suffers damage.
If the Blast quality doesn’t activate, the ordnance still detonates, but bad luck or poor aim on the part of the firer (or quick reactions on the part of the targets) means the explosion may not catch anyone else in its radius. However, the user may also trigger Blast if the attack misses by spending . In this case, the original target and every target engaged with the original target suffers a hit dealing damage equal to the Blast rating of the weapon.

muss aktiviert werden Englisch: Ensnare
A weapon with Ensnare binds a foe and restricts their movements. When Ensnare is triggered, one target hit by the attack becomes immobilized (see page 114) for a number of rounds equal to the weapon’s Ensnare rating. An immobilized target cannot perform maneuvers. If multiple targets suffer hits from a weapon with Ensnare, the quality may be triggered multiple times, affecting a different target each time.
An Ensnared target may perform an action to attempt a Hard () Athletics check on their turn to break free from the effect.

muss aktiviert werden Englisch: Linked
Some weapons are designed to fire together at the same target (turrets housing multiple guns are a good example of this). When a character fires a linked weapon, on a successful attack, the weapon deals one hit. The wielder may spend to gain an additional hit, and may do so a number of times equal to the weapon’s Linked rating. Additional hits from the Linked weapon may only be applied against the original target. Each hit deals the weapon’s base damage plus damage equal to the scored on the check.

Englisch: Slow-Firing
Slow-Firing weapons tend to deal incredible damage, but need time to recharge or cool down between shots. A weapon’s Slow-Firing rating dictates the number of rounds that must pass before the weapon can be fired again after attacking. For example, a heavy laser cannon with Slow-Firing 2 must wait two rounds after being fired before it can be fired again.

Englisch: Inferior
An Inferior item is a lackluster example of its kind, representing shoddy and poor craftsmanship. An Inferior item generates automatic on all checks related to its use.

Englisch: Cumbersome

muss aktiviert werden Englisch: Auto-Fire

Englisch: Superior
A Superior item is a sterling example of its kind, representing masterful craftsmanship. A Superior item generates automatic on all checks related to its use.

muss aktiviert werden Englisch: Knockdown
When Knockdown is triggered, one target hit by the attack is knocked prone. If multiple targets suffer hits from a weapon with Knockdown, the quality may be triggered multiple times, affecting a different target each time.
Unless specified otherwise, Knockdown requires to trigger, plus one additional per silhouette of the target beyond 1.

Englisch: Inaccurate
Inaccurate weapons are less likely to be accurate or precise. When making an attack with an Inaccurate weapon, add to the check equal to the Inaccurate rating.

Englisch: Unwieldy
An Unwieldy weapon is a weapon that can be particularly awkward to use for those without impressive dexterity and hand-eye coordination. To wield an Unwieldy weapon properly, the character needs an Agility characteristic equal to or greater than the weapon’s Unwieldy rating. For each point of Agility by which the character is deficient, they must increase the difficulty of all checks made while using the weapon by one.

muss aktiviert werden Englisch: Burn
Weapons with Burn inflict damage over time. When Burn is triggered, one target hit by the attack continues to suffer the weapon’s base damage each round for a number of rounds equal to the weapon’s Burn rating. Apply damage at the start of each of the target’s turns. If multiple targets suffer hits from a weapon with Burn, the quality may be triggered multiple times, affecting a different target each time.
A victim might be able to stop the damage by performing an action to roll around and make a Coordination check. The difficulty is Average () on hard surfaces such as the floor of a building, or an Easy () on grass or soft ground. Jumping into a body of water stops the damage immediately. Both situations assume the flame is from actual combustion rather than a chemical reaction. With the latter, there is usually little the victim can do.

Englisch: Prepare
Items with this quality require time to set up before being used. The user must perform a number of preparation maneuvers equal to the item’s Prepare rating before using the item (if the item is a weapon, “using” it would be making attacks with the weapon). At your GM’s discretion, moving with the item, being knocked prone with the item, or other disruptions may require the user to perform the preparation maneuvers again before using the item.
