The sukgung is an extremely efficient crossbow most common in the nation of Hwanggot. Capable of lethal shots at remarkable distances, the sukgung is well-balanced enough to be fired with one hand.


Trait Effects

Fatal Aim: It’s possible to hold the stock of this weapon under one arm so you can fire it with a single hand, but if you use both hands, the weapon can make fatal attacks. When you wield the weapon in two hands, it gains the fatal trait with the listed damage die. Holding the weapon underarm stably enough to fire is significantly more complicated than just releasing one hand from the weapon, so switching between the two grips requires its own Interact action, not via Releasing or as part of reloading.


Critical Specialisation Effects

Certain effects can grant you benefits when you make a Strike with certain weapons and get a critical success. This is called a critical specialisation effect. The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialisation effect of your weapon.

Crossbow: The target takes 1d8 persistent bleed damage. You gain an item bonus to this bleed damage equal to the weapon's item bonus to attack rolls.
