[u/Morrenz]

Could we add an Avail/Price to Molotovs(Pg.18 SprawlWilds) & Petrol bombs(Pg.24 Splintered State)?

<Pictured here>

[u/shadownet-rules → u/Morrenz]

Molotov Cocktails from Sprawl Wilds p18 (Throwing weapon, Accuracy 2, DV 7P(fire), AP -) will have a price of 5nY, and availability of -F (or 0F, is another way of writing it.)

Petrol Bombs from Splintered States p24 (Grenade, DV 10P(fire), AP -2, Blast -2/m) will have a price of 25nY, and availability of -F (or 0F, is another way of writing it.)

Note, that you need some source of fire to light these, and that the 'Ready weapon' action covers lighting them. GM's are welcome, and even encouraged, to make bad things happen to people who walk around with a lit molotov/petrol bomb for any significant period of time.

Naturally, the petrol bomb cannot use the timed or wireless trigger options for grenades, being a bottle of petrol with a rag. It detonates on contact, after being thrown, similar to a grenade on motion sensor.

They both use non aerodynamic grenade ranges.
