Ranged lvl. 5

Machine Rare 100 GP

Description

When a band is present during a conflict phase involving a brute, badass, boss, or behemoth, the character may choose to inflict their weapon or weapons’ damage to an enemy and their violence on the band. This can only be done with one of the character’s ranged attacks per turn. The attack must hit its target – the violence dealt to the band’s cohesion acts as a bonus side effect of the successful shot.

When using a level 5 Combat or Ranged OD, do weapon effects also apply to the band? What about assisted aim? – pages 415 and 443

No, the bonus the OD provides is the weapon’s violence with no other modifiers. Assisted aim only affects the primary target.

Is it possible to use the level 5 Ranged OD with a weapon with cadence X to deal the weapon’s violence to a band several times in the same round? – pages 414 and 443

No, the OD5 bonus effect only applies once per turn.

Is it possible to deal attack damage or violence more than once on a single target in one combat action, either in melee or ranged, by mixing effects/abilities/ODs (cadence X, scatter X, art of war, Ranged OD 5, Combat OD 5...)? – page 100

No, each attack can only deal damage/violence once to a given enemy. If more than one hit is implied in an ability or its description, only apply the strongest source of damage or violence for that attack, per target.
