Close Quarter Firearms (Ranged Weapons Only)
In the early use of ranged weapons when the enemy
charged in with swords and axes, this sort of training
helped keep the archer alive. Today this technique has
been modified to be effective with firearms while in
close-quarter combat with an opponent. This has been
effective against being charged by an opponent or
within a mixed amount of close combat and exchange
of fire. Close Quarter Firearms is learned for a specific
Ranged Weapon Skill. Reduce the ranged combat Attacker
in Melee Combat modifier by 1 for the character
when using Firearms, Bow, or Throwing Weapons
Skill (depending on the Martial Art style it’s tied to).
This technique can be selected more than once to gain
each skill.
