My players have started to run amok with the game and I’m loving it, the only problem is I need help creating a move for a new magic item.
My one player is a Charlatan, he’s been using his cherry bombs almost exclusively in battle. He wanted a way increase its distance and dmg output, so thanks to the help of the party Artificer and a LOT of gold he now has a Predator style mounted cherry bomb launcher that’s magically tied to his monocle and can retract into a backpack with 3 weight.
. We were using the volley rules at first but I think it deserves its own move, I just cant figure out what to do for 7-9 for failure it hits the nearest thing, probably an ally, on a 10 it hits no problem. But I want a hard bargain for the 7-9. I’m stumped and could really use the communities help.
So I’m thinking When you target lock an enemy Roll+INT on a 10+ you are successful and lock on to the enemy roll dmg. on a 7-9 Choose 1or 2?. On a 6- it backfires and aims at the nearest creature/ally( haven’t decided).
Target lock takes longer to happen and you must put yourself in danger. ( I’d like a more concrete action)

Any and all advice is welcome, Love the system but I am terrible at custom moves.
First, leave the 6- results undefined! Rolling a 6- means the GM gets to make a move, so you get a game with much more variety that way.
Ideas for 7-9 results:
* it shoots something unintended (a bit broader than your nearest ally/enemy)
* it fires then jams. You’ll have to spend a second fixing it before you can fire again.
* it ignites a second cherry bomb after firing! Resolve it as if you’d shot yourself too.
* it shoots his monocle! Describe where it ends up, and who ends up wearing it.
* it leaves him in a spot (unoriginal, but still one of the best options out there)
If you want a hard choice, something like:
The targetting software mucks up. Spend a moment fixing it, or your next shot will also hit your closest ally.
I would totally go for the monocle option.
Thanks James, and PS love the Brute, cant wait for Pirate world
This really, really sounds like a Compendium Class 😉
Its too late to make it a compendium class, he already has it and I’m not going to take one of his moves for it.
