OUTLANDER
Class - [OLN]
Covering Fire - Level 40Covering 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.
