Natural Weapon “A slingshot is fair. The shape of the rocks makes how they fly mundanely incalculable; if they are meant to hit their mark, they will hit.”

2
You possess supernatural skill with slingshots.
Used by Emrick, Created by lumiq.
( You must actively and obviously be using a slingshot that Emrick has made himself.)

Upon use, the shape of Emrick’s slingshot is multiplied in a muted silver light, shifting and stacking until it resembles a sort of geometric tree (Aušros Medis) which streaks after the projectile until it can spread against the area it pelts. The Ausros Medis spreads even further on impact, pinning the target to the nearest surface; when broken out of, it is sucked into the wound like a sort of net and dissipates.

In extreme circumstances, Emrick may will the rock to split and expand the world tree over multiple targets.

Emrick sees violence as nothing to look forward to, but respectably inevitable. As a crow, eating spiders, snails, frogs, and the young of other birds among other things was never given much of a thought, as it was a process of life. He appreciated being able to eat carrion when needed. That’s what got him sick as a human most recently… so a change in diet and a more indirect approach towards hunting is needed.

Emrick’s favorite weapon is a slingshot. They’re easy to use and gather ammo for, lightweight, and require patience and respect to make. It’s his dedication for the craft that imbued the process.

You gain the following benefits as long as engaged in combat with slingshots. You must actively and obviously be using a slingshot that Emrick has made himself to gain the benefits of this Effect.

  • Bullseye: If you are not making an attack, any projectile you fire will be considered a complete success without needing to make a roll.
  • Hail Storm: You may Exert your Mind to make an attack with slingshots against all targets within a 120 degree arc in front of you. Your full attack Outcome applies to each of them, but they may attempt to Dodge or Defend if they are aware of the attack.
  • Pin Down: If your attack hits a target near a wall or a floor, the projectile pierces through them, pinning them to the wall or floor. Unpinning oneself quickly will increase the relevant Injury’s Severity by 1.

Cowboy Guns: revolvers (ex. Colt Army/Walker, etc.), rifles (ex. Winchester, etc.), shotguns. Typically guns made before the 19th century and therefore no semi-automatics, etc. This does not include sniper rifles which while made before the 19th century, didn't gain popularity until after the 19th century during WW1.
