B5 ACTA Precise?

[Lone Gunman]

Hello! I started ACTA just one week ago and am now reading thought the core rules.

When reading the trait Precise, which states: "these weapons can consistently deal Critical Hits to their targets. You may add +1 to all rolls on Damage Table." I only found the damage table for ships running adrift. This would mean that Precise is only good for against ships, that already have been crippled.

Is this the case, or does it refere to dealing damage, so when rolling 1 to 4, it would be a solid hit as well as 5 and 6 becoming criticals?

Thank's for an answer!

Correct
Precise weapons can never get Bulkhead hits, and score crits on 5 or 6.

It also adds 1 to the Shadow/Vorlon damage table. So normally rolling a 3 would deal 3 points of damage, a precise weapon would deal 4.

And are the only weapons of getting the wonderful roll of 7 on the station damage table

Ok, thx a lot!

Then the trait makes sense at last.

It does indeed. Those tables really need to be named correctly.
