Fortified House:
DoS Requirement: 8
Test: Lore (Tactica, Int)+10, Lore (War), Technomat (Int), or Athletics (Strength)-10
Time Requirements: 4 Hours
Required Equipment: A building to fortify
Effect:
Select any of the following:
Your building now has firing holes which grant shooters Concealment -20 in addition to the cover their building normally does and cannot be entered from all directions. These holes may face in all directions, including though floors and ceilings.
Windows and Doors now require Athletics+0 and a full action or Demolition to breach as you have placed heavy objects infront of them or otherwise removed their ability to be opened. You may leave open an escape route if you wish, though depending on positioning enemies may be able to cut it off.
Stairs between floors removed-you may move between floors using rope ladders that can be removed as a free action, preventing enemy egress.
You may cut an observation position in the attic if the building has one-this gives +20 to all Awareness tests to notice enemies approaching, but the observer only gets Concealment -10 and half the building's cover value.
