The M18 is a smoke hand grenade.

Usage

The purpose of this weapon is to generate a smoke cloud on the Side in which it lands. It is not necessary to aim the grenade at any particular creature, as the cloud will affect every creature on the same Side.

Dice results:

  • A critical success will double the length of the smoke cloud's life (6 turns instead of 3 turns). If it was aimed at any particular creature, the GM may, at their discretion, deal a small amount of damage to that creature; a smoke grenade landing on someone's head or exploding in someone's face is rarely pleasant.
  • A regular success will result in the normal effects of the smoke cloud occurring.
  • A failure still results in a smoke cloud occurring, but for only 1 turn instead of the normal amount.
  • A critical failure results in throwing a dud grenade, with no effects.

Smoke cloud

Smoke clouds have the following properties:

  • Engulfs an entire Side of the battlespace, affecting every creature inside.
  • Lasts for 3 turns, at the end of which the cloud dissipates, and the effects listed below cease.
  • All creatures inside the cloud suffer from a FT+2 malus. This hazard cannot be mitigated by the Immunity to gases effect, such as one given by a gas mask; as the purpose of smoke is obfuscation, not damage.
  • All creatures outside the cloud suffer from a IR+2 malus, if aiming at creatures inside the cloud.

Stats

The M18 does not deal any damage. See Explosives for more details.

Other information

M18 smoke grenades may have differently-colored smoke fillings. The smoke color of any particular grenade can be determined by using &color. Smoke color is purely cosmetic and has no additional effects.
