Weapon Mechanics

Misfires

Using a standard weapon, when rolling attacks, if you roll a natural 1 you weapon misfires. Skills that cause you to increase your misfire score, will increase this range.

Roll a D6 to see what effect you get;

Roll	Misfire
1	Dud — ammunition is expended, no effect
2	Jam — weapon cannot fire until cleared
3	Misaligned — next attack has disadvantage
4	Wild shot — attack resolves against a random nearby target
5	Backfire — wielder takes minor damage
6	Mechanical failure — weapon is unusable until repaired

If the weapon is experimental in any way, and you misfire, refer to the following table

Roll	Misfire
1	Dud — ammunition is expended, no effect
2	Jam — weapon cannot fire until cleared
3	Misaligned — next attack has disadvantage
4	Wild shot — attack resolves against a random nearby target
5	Backfire — wielder takes minor damage
6	Mechanical failure — weapon is unusable until repaired
