Ricochet Shot
Bounce a shot off a hard surface to hit a target behind cover; -2 attack.
The character can ricochet projectiles off hard surfaces to strike targets behind cover.

The target must be within one range increment of the bounce point.

Special: The bounce surface must be hard and non-absorbing (not water, sand, or soft material). The attack cannot bypass total cover if the target has no possible angle of reflection. The character must be able to see or have precise knowledge of the target's location. Energy weapons cannot ricochet unless they are specifically designed for it.
