Deadly Strike/Shot

"Nothing says 'I want a divorce' quite as well as a bullet to the head." -- the Merry Widow

Stunt: Head-Shot
 * If attack is successful, up to TN Failure Ranks become Wound Ranks instead

This Stunt is usable with thematically appropriate versions of Bolt or Beam, or with Master [+6] Rank "Shooting" Fortes (such as "Marksman" or "Assassin").

(Example):

The assassin-for-hire Merry Widow (Master [+6] Assassin) is out to fulfill her latest contract. She has this Stunt as a Permanent Stunt, and she spends a Style Dice, so she will roll 2d6 (as usual) +6 (for the Master Rank in Assassin) +6 (for this Stunt not being Downshifted at all), for a total of 2d6+12. Furthermore, if the attack succeeds, the first 13 Failure Ranks become Wound Ranks instead (presuming she scores that much damage).
