Ranged Combat — Pilgrimage: Skirmish

Fire

Any Character with a ranged weapon who is in range may make a Fire attack. This follows a similar process to an Assault:

Both Characters roll D12; the attacker adds their Aim and the defender adds their Might.
If the attacker wins, they deal damage equal to the difference between the rolls. Ties deal no damage.
If the defender wins, no damage is dealt.

Close Fire

When using the Fire Deed at a target within 6”, gain Advantage on any dice rolled.

Moving Target

When a figure uses the Fire Deed, the attacker suffers −1 Aim if they have moved this Turn, and −1 Aim if their target has moved this Turn — at most −2. There is nothing to count: each figure has either moved or it has not.

High Ground

When a Character attacks or defends in an Assault or Fire Deed from a position more than 2” above their Foe, they gain +1 Might and +1 Aim on those Deeds.

Crowded Target

When a Character uses a Fire Deed on a Foe 1” or less from any other Character, randomly determine which target is hit by the Fire Deed.
