Time to learn about those properties on your blasters and lightsabers! In this next installment of a beginner's guide to Star Wars 5e (SW5e) Chewie and I take a suggestion from a viewer and look into some of the weapon properties like Reload, Range, Versatile, and more!

Great short videos. They are good recaps for me after reading through the stuff myself. Could do one on managing down time.

There can be downtime in a campaign? 😂 That's a great idea, and I'll need to go learn about that! I think Wretched Hives rulebook likely has some cool things to cover in there!

Hello i have a question, so my party made it so that every ranged weapon can use in 1 action a specific amount of up to the reload X (Example the weapon has Reload 6 and they use 4 shots in 1 action), it felt uncanny and not really right so im asking if that is actually true or not?

​@@Rievet7134 I have always interpreted the rules that in normal situations, a single ranged attack consumes a single 'ammo' from your ranged weapon. The power cell is pretty clear that it says it "fuels a number of attacks equal to the weapon's reload number". So if you have a Blaster pistol with "reload 16" that means it would (usually) take 16 attacks to deplete the power cell. It is not that on each turn there are 16 shots fired, each one an attack dealing damage. You could fire everything in the cell if you had the ability to make 16 attacks. Not all ranged weapons follow this general rule. Some weapons also have a 'Burst' property. This means that the weapon will consume multiple ammunition at once, essentially doing an Area of Effect attack. Some weapons also have the 'Rapid' property, which allows you to to unload a number of ammo uses up to the "Rapid" number to do double the damage (on a failed save). Let's take a look at the 'Carbine rifle': Rapid 3, Reload 12. I interpret the rules here to mean that with a single attack you could use up 3 of your ammo instead of one (taking it from 12 to 9). If the targets failed the save, you could then do double-damage from that single powered-up attack. But it's still only a single ranged attack usage, it just uses up more ammo and will force you to reload more often. Or, if you used a Heavy bowcaster, this has Burst 2, Reload 4. When you fire this bowcaster it will use up 2 charges from your power cell, and needs to be reloaded after 4 charges. That means you can do 2 burst attacks (an AoE 10-foot cube) and then you have to reload. Each burst is still just one attack. There are also multiple ways to get multiple ranged attacks in a single turn. You could have extra attacks as a Fighter, or opportunity attacks triggered by other creatures, or a character with a 'commanding' bonus action could instruct you to make an attack. There's also the "Return Fire" maneuver that could allow you to make an attack as a reaction, and some specialist feats and builds that can give you other ways to attack. That, at least, is how I've always interpreted the rules. Of course, any given table might have house rules that alters this and goes in a different way. I think it's important to understand that Reload isn't "number of attacks" but "number of shots" and a single attack could potentially use up multiple 'shots'.
