*The Stellar Armory, Space Opera Weapons and Armour for Exodus NDS. Source: https://exodusnds.com/sourcebooks/stellar-armory/ordnance*
Grenades, launchers, missiles, and charges. Most deal **Blast** damage.
**Throwing a grenade** is a Light Ranged attack at Short range. Readying it is a maneuver. Each is used once.
**Blast X**: spend 2 Boons to deal X damage to everyone Engaged with the target. When the attack fails, the attacker may spend 3 Boons from the failed check to apply the Blast damage to the target and everyone Engaged with it.
**A Calamity on the throw** may be spent by the GM to land the grenade Engaged with the thrower or an ally.
**Placed charges** print **Placed** in the Range field. Setting one takes the maneuvers in its Prepare rating and an Average Craft check. It needs no attack check when it fires: it deals its damage to what it is set against and its Blast to everyone Engaged with that.
