Rules:Dragon Breath
From Jackpoint
Elemental Attack uses the Shotgun rules for choke settings. This means that the attacker can set the type of attack and then change it as a simple action (can't smartlink your elemental attack to make this a free action).
The three distribution settings (I don't wanna call them Choke settings since it's often a breath weapon) are:
- Narrow: All defenders get -1 on defense tests
- Medium: Cannot use Called Shots
- At short range the damage is -1DV, targets get -3 on defense tests, and you can target up to 2 targets that are within 2 meters of each other
- At medium range the damage is -3DV, targets get -3 on defense tests, and you can target up to 3 targets that are within 4 meters of each other (each target must be within 4 meters of every other)
- At long range the damage is -5DV and -1 Accuracy, targets get -3 on defense tests, and you can target up to 4 targets that are within 6 meters of each other
- At extreme range the damage is -7DV and -1 Accuracy, targets get -3 on defense tests, and you can target up to 6 targets that are within 8 meters of each other
- Wide: Cannot use Called Shots
- At short range the damage is -3DV, targets get -5 on defense tests, and you can target up to 2 targets that are within 3 meters of each other
- At medium range the damage is -5DV, targets get -5 on defense tests, and you can target up to 3 targets that are within 6 meters of each other (each target must be within 4 meters of every other)
- At long range the damage is -7DV and -1 Accuracy, targets get -5 on defense tests, and you can target up to 4 targets that are within 9 meters of each other
- At extreme range the damage is -9DV and -1 Accuracy, targets get -5 on defense tests, and you can target up to 6 targets that are within 12 meters of each other
It is reasonable to decide this only applied to breath weapons of, say, Hell Hounds and Dracoforms, but it's also reasonable to apply it to spirit attacks too, depending on how we feel.
Importantly the ranges are:
- Short: up to [Magic]m
- Medium: up to [Magic*2]m
- Long: up to [Magic*3]m
- Extreme: up to [Magic*4]m
