OCCs the Smigs Way

Sharpshooter OCC

The Sharpshooter is a long-range specialist, similar to the old Longbowman OCC of the old world. Instead of relying on the bow, the Sharpshooter uses a rifle, often accompanied by a scope. Although Longbow specialists still exist (the weapon is silent, and easier to conceal), the sharpshooter's greater range is preferred by most militaries and merchants.
Special Skills:

Rifle Specialty - Effectively Has Sharpshooting: Rifles without the initiative bonus. (GM Disgression may replace Skill #1 and #3 with stright up Sharpshooting from the Rifts Conversion Book if they wish). When using a rifle, the shooter gains the following boni:
- +1 attack
- +2 to initiative
- +3 on aimed shots, +1 on wild shots
- +1 to all shots for every 3 points of PP over 16.
- +2 to disarm
Special Sniper Bonus - As with the longbowman, the Sharpshooter can spend an extra action to double their strike bonus. Also, when the extra action is spent, the Sharpshooter only needs a natural 18+ for a critical strike.
Specialy Trick - The sharpshooter may select two Sharpshooting specialties from the following list:
- Fire over shoulder with a normal aimed shot.
- Dodge/roll from an attack and come up shooting (wild shot, costs two actions but happens in one.)
- Fire without penalty from a moving vehicle
- Richochet shot (halves strike bonus)
- Projectile Defence - When fighting at normal firearms range (more than 30 feet away) the sharpshooter is only -4 to defend against projectile weapons (including guns).
OCC Bonuses: +1 to P.P., +2 save vs. horror factor, +2 roll.
