Description
Area-Ranged is an attack-type that allows the user to attack multiple opponents in one turn with Firepower as the damage stat.
If the attack is energon based, the cost of the attack is:
total cost = (default energon) +(targets - 1)*(default energon)/2
where (default energon) is what the attack would cost for one target.
If an attack is ammo-based, the cost of the attack is:
total targets = 3 + (ammo - 1)*2
So, for 1 ammo, you get 3+(1-1)*2= 3 targets. For 2 ammo, you get 3+(2-1)*2=5 targets. The most 'efficient' use of ammo is 1 ammo for 3 targets.
Every character has access, via !globals, to a cruddy Area-Ranged attack. Some characters have better Area-Melee attacks by default, and you can always upgrade into a better Area-Ranged attack if it is appropriate for your character.
