| − | This weapon is a '''command detonation''' charge. Such weapons can fit multiple purposes, but all share the same trait; they are manually detonated by the user. In order to do so, each planted charge must be paired with a [[Detonator]]. | + | This weapon is a '''command detonation''' charge, and thus requires a [[Detonator]], otherwise it will not explode. See [[Explosives]] for more details. |
| − | | + | |
| − | To use this weapon, you can either plant it or throw it - see each relevant section below for details.
| + | |

| − | === Planting a charge ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To plant a command detonation charge, you need to use your Planted Explosives skill and spend 1 turn to attempt planting the charge.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Dice results:
| + | |
| − | * Successes and critical successes both result in a proper planting and deployment of the charge.
| + | |
| − | * A failure results in the charge not being properly planted, effectively wasting a turn. You can try again on the next turn.
| + | |
| − | * A critical failure results in breaking the charge's signal receiver, turning it into a dud.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Command detonation charges have a wide and powerful area of effect to make up for being relatively slow and impractical; all creatures on the same Side as the charge will be hit with Target Damage when it explodes.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When outside of combat, you can simply choose one Side of the battlespace to plant the explosive into.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When in combat, a command detonation charge is normally planted on your current Side. If you wish to plant it into a Side other than your current one, you can move into the desired Side and begin the planting attempt as a combat move, as if using a melee weapon; it is therefore subjected to Initiative Speed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After successfully planting a command detonation charge, the detonator can be used at any point afterwards. The use of a detonator is a '''free action''', and can be chained with another action of your choice. It is generally advisable to leave the Side where your charge was planted; immediately using the Detonator afterwards will simply result in you being caught in the explosion; in other words: blowing yourself up. Although it will be generally safe to assume you do ''not'' want to blow yourself up, be sure to describe your actions as clearly as possible.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The general rule of thumb is '''only the creature who planted it can detonate it''', even if in technical terms, a planted explosive charge is specifically paired to the detonator of its owner. The rule of thumb exists to keep things as simple as possible.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Throwing a charge ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To throw a command detonation charge into another Side, you must use your Thrown Weapons combat skill instead, treating it similarly to a hand grenade, just without the automatic explosion at the end.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Dice results:
| + | |
| − | * Successes and critical successes have the same effect; you successfully prime and throw the charge into the desired Side - it will then be considered planted on the Side it landed into.
| + | |
| − | * A failure will result in the charge landing in the desired Side, but in a "bad" spot; if it is detonated, no creature will be affected by the explosion.
| + | |
| − | * A critical failure will break the charge's signal receiver, turning it into a dud.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | NOTE: If a player kills creatures with a charge that was thrown, the author recommends that the GM gives that player Thrown Weapons skill points instead of Planted Explosives skill points.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Countermeasures ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Normally, the GM should inform the player of any charges in the current room.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The safest way to ensure that a command detonation charge cannot explode is to kill (or otherwise incapacitate) the creature who owns it.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you want to reclaim a planted command detonation charge, you must spend 2 turns per charge to defuse it. No specific tools are required for defusal. Successfully defusing a charge causes it to lose its pairing with its owner's detonator, becoming completely safe to handle; it can be picked up and redeployed, if you so desire.
| + | |
| − | * NOTE: Defusal can be attempted even if the owner of the charge is still alive (and therefore capable of using the detonator); however, doing so without ensuring it is safe to do so puts you at risk of being blown up!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Command detonation charges cannot be destroyed by attacking them; they are immune to damage.
