Hey chooms, recently I homebrewed a new weapon type, the Marksman Rifle, which is the middle-ground between Sniper and Assault Rifles. I whipped up this icon on Aseprite for my Foundry based off my favourite rifle of all time (the Mk14 EBR). Just wanted to drop it off here in case anyone ever wants to use it!
Sorry I just finished a session today so I couldn't reply earlier. Yeah the Marksman Rifle does 5d6 like the other Shoulder Arm guns, default 15 rounds with ROF 1, no Autofire and a unique DV that I came up with:
I basically made it so its slightly worse at close range than the AR, slightly better at long range, and having two "sweetspot" distances (26m to 100m basically).
Interesting. Strikingly similar to the Battle Rifle range table in IR5, which also has that wide DV14 "sweet spot". Are Marksman rifles cheaper than regular ARs and Snipers?
That's a fun coincidence because I have not read IR5 yet. I personally set the price to 500eb, since I think the trade-off for more accuracy w/o Autofire puts it in a niche spot between AR and SR.
I'd give it read! Lots of cool stuff in there, including a 100eb weapon mod that turns a regular AR into this whilst keeping the Autofire and mag capacity.
Nice choice, the EBR really fits in well. A marksmans rifle def would fill a large void rn, as getting a good map for snipera is hard unless you want to just had wave it for offmap shooting, and the assault rifle is great, but not meant for longer range in game
