In the new version of the
rulebook (work in progress) I will define better the rules of some weapons,
including how to use the Knock back ability of a weapon.
here is the updated rule
that will affect weapons such frag grenades, missile lauchers and Fuel rod
guns.
knock back
(X): Targets
hit by this weapon are knock back a number of inches equal to X. Knock back
represents a character being thrown backward by the force of an attack.
Move the character in a straight
line away from the attacking character, called the knock back path. If multiple
characters take damage from a game effect that causes knock back, resolve the
knock back starting with the character farthest from the attacker.
A character’s knock back path ignore
difficult or hindering terrain, but can’t continue if cross an object that blocks movement, other
character (friend or foe), elevated terrain of a higher elevation or the edge
of the map. If it would do so, the character’s knock back path ends right
before its path would cross into any of these obstacles, and the character takes
1 damage.
A character’s knock back path can
push him outside a ledge, in that case the character will also take falling
damage as normal.
Some blast weapons or attacks have
the Knock back rule, in that case the main target of the attack (the character
in the center of the blast) is move following the rules of knock back, and
other characters under the blast template move away from the centre of the
template. As always the characters takes damage of the blast, plus 1 damage if
the knock back path is blocked.
still working on this? I am currently making a Fall of Reach Campaign more so on the scale of fleets and corps operating in space around Reach and fighting on the enitre planet of Reach
