Firing Upward and Downward

Firing downward increases the dis-
tance you can throw or fire a projec-
tile; firing upward decreases it. This
effect is unlikely to matter at short dis-
tances, but can be important at long
range. Ignore it entirely for beam
weapons like lasers!
Firing Downward: For every two
yards of elevation you have over your
target, subtract one yard from the
effective distance, to a minimum of
half
the
real
ground
distance.
(Example: You are 40 yards away from
your target, and 10 yards higher.
Subtract 5 yards from effective range.
You fire as though you were only 35
yards away.)
Firing Upward: For every yard of
elevation your target has over you, add
one yard to the effective distance.
(Example: You are 40 yards away from
your target, and 10 yards lower. Add
10 yards to effective range. You fire as
though you were 50 yards away.)
