What does the inject serum medicine skill feat do?


Playtest General Discussion


Needler pistol This snub-nosed pistol shoots syringes
instead of bullets, allowing the wielder to deliver a dose of
medicine or poison from a safe distance

Is there really any point to doing this when you can just pre load the gun? Or is it for delivering the exact antidote to the condition at the right time?

What the feat does is let you load a subtense into an Injector weapon for one action instead of three. This is useful if you want to load medicine in place of poison and don't want to keep track of the various Injection weapons.

Injection: This weapon can be filled with a liquid, usually
an injury poison. Immediately after a successful attack
with the weapon, you can inject the target with the loaded
contents with a single Interact action. (If the target is willing,
the injection takes only 1 Interact action total.) Refilling the
weapon with a new substance requires 3 Interact actions and
uses two hands.
Ranged weapons and ammunition with the
injection trait automatically inject the target without the use
of an Interact action.

It's mostly there for the Biohacker, or whatever version of the Biohacker will be released in.
