Concentrating (or Concentration) is an ability and a combat technique.
Requirements
To be able to perform this combat technique, your character must be equipped with:
- A firearm equipped with a high-power or extreme-power scope
- The firearm MUST be able to fire a single shot and ONLY a single shot, and therefore must have at least one of the following modes: Single shot, Semi-auto, Bolt-action, Pump-action, Lever-action, Double action, Single action.
Use
If an appropriate weapon is equipped, a character has the option to concentrate. When using this ability, the following effects are activated:
- Maximum shots per turn reduced to 1
- The concentrating character will be able to aim at a specific target as they normally would, but they will not open fire on the same turn the use of the ability was declared; instead, they are "locked" in a concentrating state, and they must shoot at the intended target on the next turn, at a special Initiative Speed of C, considered to be slower than U.
- Successful hits (including inaccurate hits) while concentrating are converted into critical hits instead.
Use with other abilities
This ability can be combined with:
- Steady aiming: If your firearm meets the requirements for both Steady aiming and Concentrating, you may combine both abilities to activate Concentrated Steady Aiming. The following effects become active:
- FT -1
- Maximum shots per turn reduced to 1
- The concentrating character will be able to aim at a specific target as they normally would, but they will not open fire on the same turn the use of the ability was declared; instead, they are "locked" in a concentrating state, and they must shoot at the intended target on the next turn, at a special Initiative Speed of C, considered to be slower than U.
- Successful hits (including inaccurate hits) while concentrating are converted into critical hits instead.
