Effects

The attack affects a wider area, and can affect several targets at once. The attack automatically affects any character or damageable object within Reach of the initial target, and then one additional target within Close range of the initial target for each Effect rolled, starting with the next closest (as determined by the Gamemaster). If one or more Complications is rolled when using an Area attack, the Gamemaster may choose to use Complications to have an ally in the area affected by the attack. A target cannot be hit if it would have been more difficult to hit than the initial target.

The attack is designed to inflict massive harm on a target, incapacitating them far more swiftly. The Cost to Avoid an Injury caused by an Intense weapon increases by one for each Effect rolled.

If one or more Effects are rolled on this Attack, then the target is knocked prone. The target may resist this effect by adding a number of points to Threat equal to the number of Effects rolled (for NPCs, spend points from Threat instead of adding to Threat).

The Attack inflicts additional damage elsewhere on the target. If one or more Effects is rolled, the Attack inflicts one additional hit to a random system (even if the Attack was targeting a specific system), which deals half the damage of the initial hit, rounding up, +1 for every Effect rolled after the first. This additional hit is resolved separately, and each hit against the target is reduced by Resistance, reduces Shields, and potentially causes Breaches, individually.
