Missile Weapon Attacks

“Missile weapons” are ranged
attacks other than thrown weapons:
bows, firearms, Missile spells, ranged
Innate Attacks, and so on. They fall
into two broad categories.
Muscle-Powered Missile Weapons:
These include bows, slings, and cross-
bows. As with thrown weapons, your
range and damage are determined by
your ST – or in the case of a bow or a
crossbow, by the weapon’s ST. See the
Muscle-Powered Ranged Weapon Table
(p. 275) for details.
Firearms: These include guns,
beam weapons, and self-propelled
projectiles. See the Firearms Table
(pp. 278-280) for statistics and special
rules for all types of high-tech missile
weapons
–
from
black-powder
weapons through contemporary guns
and on to science-fiction weapons
such as lasers.
