Ranged Weapons


More ideas from White Wolf's Changeling Forum (kudos to Dr. Morganes and Thomas Terrill!)


Ranged Weapon Skill

Note/reasoning: rather than having a separate special skill just for Bows and Crossbows (Archery, Player's Guide pgs 39-40), or including them under Firearms, and using the Athletics skill for thrown weapons, I am now using a Ranged Weapon skill.

This skill covers all non-firearm ranged weapons, including thrown weapons and grenades, bows, crossbows, slings, and other "ancient" ranged weapons. It does not include any "modern" firearm or "support" weapons (excepting thrown grenades).

Consider the skill level descriptions as per Firearms (Changeling 2nd Edition page 142).


Stats for Slings

Combat Stats

Sling with Bullets - Difficulty 6, Damage 4, Conceal P, Strength 1, Range 60.

Sling with Stones - Difficulty 7, Damage 3, Conceal P, Strength 1, Range 40.

Chimera Background Cost

Sling with Bullets - 3

Sling with Stones - 2

No additional cost for bullets or stones - part of the character's Voile is a pouch for these, but there are only 20 available for any one scene. Add 20 more per additional Chimera background point spent.
