All right I had to educate myself about breaching charges. The answer is: in real life, a breaching charge is a regular explosion that also shoots a projectile - either a sluglike metal "carrot," or a shotgunlike collection of projectiles. Claymores explode in a radius but also fire a shotgun blast. There are no weapons with a directional explosion, as far as I can tell. Your boarding party will always get blown up by breaching charges because it's BrikWars.Kirillyos wrote:75. How would shaped-charge explosives work? I could always crunch a d10 Explosion into a d8 Arc, but is there a cheaper, less convoluted way? Can I just say "oh, this claymore here explodes in an Arc, rather than a Radius". It also would be handy not to have my boarding party blown up by their own breaching charge.

Got to be honest, I'm still not sure what you're asking for here. Shaped charges seem to be d10 2" radius like any other explosion. Maybe with a d6 directed or d8 arc in addition to the explosion, so sure, SN will do the job.Kirillyos wrote:Soooo.... back to the SN dice then?

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=97677&page=1The weapon was first deployed, but not used, during Operation Allied Force when NATO entered the Kosovo War. Sensor-fused weapons were first fired in combat during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Yes, I noticed that (it's why I had my Saboteur hide behind a barrier). But in games like BrikWars, things tend to be simplified, rather than be a 1:1 scale simulation.Tzan wrote:To Kirillyos
You might notice that red "Deadly" area that extends almost 10 meters behind.
The Orange Dangerous area is 25 meters behind.
It's true. That's why it's probably better to use the existing rules that already exactly match the situation rather than making up new ones.Kirillyos wrote:But in games like BrikWars, things tend to be simplified,
