Help an ally land a hit. Uses your 😮 Reaction.
When an ally you can see makes an ⚔ Attack, use your Reaction before they roll: the attack gains +2 🎯 Accuracy.
Requirements
- Melee or Unarmed: the target is within your reach.
- Ranged: only with a weapon that can Burst Fire. The target is within its range and line of sight. Spend a full burst of its ammunition (Fire Rate + 1 rounds, × Gatling multiplier).
Limits
- Assist is not an attack. You make no roll, it cannot hit or deal damage, and it does not trigger anything that triggers on an attack (milestones, perks, weapon tags).
- You cannot Assist with, or Assist an ally’s, 💣 Explosives Attack: grenades, thrown weapons, grenade launchers and anything else that makes an Explosives Attack.
- An attack can benefit from one Assist.
- On a Burst Fire attack, the bonus applies to every shot.
- Overwatch Mode spends your Reaction, so you cannot Assist while in it.
Assisting a Test
You can also help an ally with a Test that is not an attack, if you have +1 or higher in the same ⭐ Skill and could plausibly help. They gain +2 on the Test.
- In combat: you must be adjacent to them, and it uses your Reaction.
- Out of combat: describe how you help. It costs the same time as the Test.
- One helper per Test. You cannot help on a Group Test you are rolling in.
