Burning Stuff
If a character is thrown into a pool of acid or a flame, it immediately inflicts first turn damage. The
following combat turn, unless the victim of the burn has been immersed in water or some other purgative
method has been employed, the effect continues to burn the victim's body. At the very end of each
combat turn, after all actions have been completed,
First Turn – 8 Dice

Second Turn – 5 Dice

Exploding Objects
Being thrown onto something explosive like an oil drum or a landmine Does normal throw damage Plus
that of the Explosion.

maneuver damage dicepools by the rating of the blindness which for maneuvers based on the technique

environment. Blindness diminishes I penalty per turn. If your penalty is bigger than that perception +
