Volley: [Minor] by Iczer

'He shoots he scores!'

The character can create short lived bolts of force that fire off in bursts rather than singly.

Range: 100 feet +10 feet per level

Damage: 1d4, plus 1 per level.

Bonus to strike: +4 with an aimed shot. +1 with bursts.

Attacks: 1 attack. Burst fire and heavy burst fire take additional actions.

Special effects Burst fire: The strength of this power lies not in it's damage, but its frequency. The character can create many 'force bolts' at once. The character can fire off bursts like an automatic firearm (refer to firearm combat). A single shot or short burst requires only a single action (x2 damage) a long burst for 2 actions (x3 damage) or a full burst for 3 actions (x5 damage). He may also spray and strife.

Flechette attack: By narrowing the force bolts, he creates sharp, armour peircing bolts rather than heavy slugs. Damage inflicted is halved, but up to 6 points of AR can be ignored from a target.

Climbing spikes: Force bolts are short lived, but can be made to last a few seconds longer with a little concentration. By firing them into a wall, a character can create a ladder of sorts, used to climb walls and other obstacles. The character can cover a height of 20 feet +10 feet per level with climable spike, which last as long as the character concentrates (-1 attack, -1 to all combat moves, halve speed and skill bonuses)
