The Art of Whiffing

If you miss with a Firearm shot, does it consume attributes?

If you fire a bullet and it misses, it consumes the attribute.

The reason: because of the unique way that bullets work in the Accelerant rules system (in that they cannot be blocked by means other than a called defense or physically dodging them), Bullets count as spells. It's more of a balance thing than anything else.

Understood.

Thanks.

one little caveat. if you hit an NPC with a shot and they don't react (be it groaning in pain, or calling a defense) that shot does not cost attribute.

This really shouldn't come up often, though so it's more of the exception to the rule than anything else.
