Smuggler

Smuggler Job Training

Description

As a smuggler, your abilities would rely heavily on having good reflexes and either aim or physique, depending on your method of attack. You’d learn to be pretty sneaky, fly well, and hit your foes where they least expect it, all while making your living in the underbelly of the United Galactic Confederacy, or U.G.C. The life of a smuggler is one of profit through luck and skill.

Notes

Flash Grenade is an Aim vs Reflexes check. It is more accurate than most Status attacks, as the attacker's Aim is effectively 10 points higher.

Low Blow base damage equals Physique / 2. If used on a target with Ball size greater than 7, damage is doubled. Stun chance is a Physique vs Physique check and does not work on robots without genitals.

Lucky Breaks bonus Defense is equal to Evasion / 3 and capped at Level / 2. It is also not factored into the Evasion Bonus displayed on the Combat Codex page.

Sneak Attack and Aimed Shot bonus damage is equal to Level * 3 + Intelligence/2. Take Advantage bonus damage is equal to Level * 2.

Stealth Field Generator adds 80% Evasion and increases the Evasion cap by 40% while active. Evasion cap is normally 90%. Lasts 3 rounds after activation, not 2, despite the description.

Gas Grenade does 14 + Level * 2 Drug damage to all enemies.

Grenade does 7.5 + Level * 2 + Intelligence / 2 Kinetic and Burning damage to all enemies.

Alpha Strike does not have to be in the first round, unlike Shoot First. Special abilities like Flash Grenade or Stealth Field Generator can be used first.

Can Opener Sunder is a Physique vs Physique check.

Mag Binders Stun is a Reflexes vs Reflexes check. Damage is equal to Reflexes + Level * 2.

The bonus attack provided by Second Attack and Second Shot do not have an accuracy reduction if the ranged weapon used has the "Bonus Hit Rate" flag.
