Effect
Fire a shot at a point on the ground within Near range. The impact creates a cloud of dust, ash, and debris in a Close range radius around the point. All creatures in the cloud suffer −2 dice (Pool Penalty) to ranged attacks and Awareness checks for 3 Ticks.
Steps
+3 Ticks duration per Step.
Special
The cloud appears even on a Manifest + Miss — the bullet’s impact creates the effect regardless of whether it strikes a creature. In the Ash Belt or Scorchveil, the cloud is denser: the penalty increases to −3 dice.
