NEW RULES : Electro Shock

Heavy d6

Roll a d6 to determine the amount of shots the electroshock gets. The strength of each hit is equal to 9 minus the number of shots. The AP is equal to the number of shots.

eg. If you rolled a 4 for the number of shots, the strength would be 5 (9-4), and the AP would be 4. You would get 4 shots at this level this turn. Reroll this number every time it shoots.
