COVERING-FIRE

reference

Also known as: COVERINGFIRE

OUTLANDER Class - [OLN] Covering Fire - Level 40 Covering Fire is the outlander's short, ugly answer to a crowded lane. One gun, tight bursts, and enough noise to make anyone with sense hug the dirt. A successful Covering Fire sweeps the room in controlled bursts from your main-hand firearm. Each shot can clip a different target, dealing damage, knocking them off balance, and leaving them shooting wild with a heavy hitroll penalty. You cannot use Covering Fire bare-handed. It pulls from the rounds already in your gun, up to a short cap of bursts, and can leave the slide locked open when the magazine runs dry. Syntax: coverfire Requires: Outlander (Prestige), firearm in main hand Cost: 200 MOVE and skill recovery; consumes up to several shots Limits: affects only hostile targets in your room; fires up to a fixed number of rounds, then slackens or leaves the weapon empty and ready for a fresh reload
