Fire a well-placed shot that bends timing, angle, and awareness to partially bypass cover—creating an opening where there shouldn’t be one.
Roll 1d100 + skill bonus vs DR 100
On success, you reduce the penalty from cover by half the Success Rate (SR) of this roll: Example: If SR = 40, cover penalty is reduced by 20
The effect applies only to the immediate ranged attack that follows
If the reduced penalty brings the cover modifier to zero or below, it is entirely negated
+20 DR against the same target in the same cover on repeated use of skill.
-20 DR if target takes cover as a reaction to your attack
Must be sequenced with an attack.
Full Cover (–60), roll 135 → SR 35 → cover penalty reduced by 17→ Final cover penalty = –43
Seeking Shot reflects a shooter’s ability to make the improbable possible—firing with such finesse and insight that even heavily protected targets become vulnerable. This is not about hitting through walls or auto-locking onto targets; it’s about using angles, terrain familiarity, and split-second prediction to turn cover into only a partial defense.
On a successful skill roll, the shooter reduces the effective protection that cover provides, based on how well they time and angle their shot. With enough success, even full cover can be rendered meaningless for a moment—turning concealment into a false sense of security.
