• All armor on From The Ashes: Detroit By Night will be given an armor value, an action penalty, and in many cases a list of damage types the armor will protect. Many armors will have different values against different damage types. The table provided here is intended as a guideline. Armor dice are rolled in addition to stamina dice if the damage being taken is of a type that the character wearing it may normally soak. Armor dice are rolled alone, even against damage types that the armor stops but that the wearer may not soak.

• Damage: Indicates the damage dice pool. Against mortals, firearms are considered lethal damage. Versus vampires, firearms are considered bashing damage unless the head is targeted (see “Targeting,” p. 274), in which case the damage is considered lethal.

• Range: This is the practical shot range in yards or meters. Weapons may be fired at twice this distance, but the attacks are considered long range (difficulty 8).

• Rate: The maximum number of bullets or three-round bursts the gun can fire in a single turn. This rate does not apply to full-auto or spray attacks.

• Capacity: The number of shells a gun can hold. The +1 indicates a bullet can be held in the chamber, ready to fire.

• Concealment: P = Can be carried in the pocket; J = Can be hidden in a jacket; T = Can be hidden in a trenchcoat; N = Cannot be concealed on the person at all.

• *Indicates the weapon is capable of three-round bursts, full auto, and sprays.

• **The crossbow is included for characters who wish to try staking an opponent. Crossbows require five turns to reload. Unless the crossbow is aimed at the head or heart, it inflicts bashing damage on Kindred. It inflicts lethal damage versus mortals.
